Across the first seven months of the year, the company had 204,004 sales. That’s still down a bit from the first seven months of 2025 — 233,906 sales — but the gap could easily be closed in the final five months of the year, and note that this is all amidst a significant drop in overall auto sales in China. The Guangzhou-based company has now reached 1,211,071 cumulative vehicle sales. XPENG shared the following additional highlights in its monthly investor update: “On July 16, XPENG held its Brand Day and the L03 Global Launch Event in Munich, Germany. The new global model will launch in 65 countries and regions this year, expanding XPENG’s international product lineup. “On the global expansion front, earlier this month XPENG officially unveiled its long-term strategy for the Australian market, including plans to launch five all-new models in the second half of 2026 and continue expanding its local sales and service network. XPENG also announced that its NGP Next Generation Pilot system, powered by the in-house developed VLA 2.0 model, will begin its global rollout in 2027, bringing its intelligent driving technology to markets around the world. “XPENG’s electric vehicles delivered from January to July 2026 are expected to reduce life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions by more than 3.23 million tons compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, equivalent to the carbon absorbed by 53.75 million young trees over 10 years.” As you probably know, I like comparing XPENG and NIO sales since they have had such similar trends over the years and are two of the leading “smart EV” companies in China, and thus the world. While NIO’s year-over-year trend in July looks much better — rising 71% compared to XPENG’s 4% — note that they actually ended up with very similar monthly sales — 35,934 for NIO and the aforementioned 38,027 for XPENG. In fact, as you can see, XPENG even did better. XPENG was just starting from a much higher base in July 2025 — 36,717 versus 21,017. Can the two companies rise above 40,000 vehicle deliveries a month again? They’ve each done so three times, including both of them scoring more than 40,000 sales in June. What’s coming in August?
