XPENG will open European order books and announce European pricing for its G9L flagship SUV at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026, and will offer NGP intelligent-driving test rides as one of only two automakers in the show’s official Autonomous Lab, alongside Tesla. According to XPENG’s Paris Motor Show plans, the G9L will become the company’s fourth model produced in Europe. The show runs October 12 to 18 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. XPENG will occupy a stand of more than 10,760 square feet (1,000 square meters) in Hall 6.
Highlights
- European orders: G9L order books open and European pricing will be announced at the model’s October 12 global launch in Paris.
- Overseas deliveries: XPENG reports more than 100,000 vehicles delivered outside China. That total includes over 60,000 in Europe and more than 6,000 in France since the company entered that market two years ago.
- Quarterly growth: Overseas deliveries passed 20,000 units for the first time in the second quarter, up 81% year over year.
- Robotics funding: XPENG’s robotics business completed a first funding round of more than US$900 million in August.
G9L Moves From China to Global Rollout
The G9L is the centerpiece of XPENG’s Paris presence. Its global launch there follows the G9L’s China debut, and the company describes the Paris event as the model’s move from a China launch to a global market rollout. XPENG says the SUV combines its latest AI, intelligent driving, and vehicle technology, with a focus on safety, driving, and comfort.
The G9L will become the fourth XPENG model produced in Europe as the company expands its local manufacturing capabilities. XPENG says the model reflects its approach of developing global products while building more of them in Europe for European buyers.
How Will XPENG Demonstrate NGP in Paris?
XPENG will run its NGP intelligent-driving system in the recently launched L03 SUV coupe as part of the Paris Motor Show’s Autonomous Lab program. XPENG and Tesla are the only two automakers participating. The program gives members of the public test rides in real-world conditions.
For XPENG, the program is its first large-scale NGP test ride experience outside China. The company says it will give European customers and media early access to the system’s latest capabilities.
XPENG is also adapting its intelligent-driving technology for Europe. The company attributes this work to the generalization capabilities of its foundation model, and says its European R&D teams are tailoring the system to local roads, traffic environments, and regulatory requirements.
European Footprint and Product Portfolio
XPENG continues to build out its sales and service network in Europe. It has also expanded local capabilities, including a European R&D center in Munich.
The European lineup is growing as well. After its global debut in Munich in July 2026, the L03 is preparing for its first deliveries to European customers. XPENG describes this combination of regional driving-software development, local manufacturing, and Europe-specific products as its “In Europe, For Europe” approach.
Physical AI Exhibits and Robotics Progress
XPENG’s Hall 6 stand will be laid out as a “Physical AI Museum” with four areas: the brand’s technology stack, AI-defined vehicles, humanoid robots, and flying cars. The vehicle display includes the G9L, L03, P7+, G6, G9, and X9.
The exhibit centers on XPENG’s Car-as-a-Robot concept, which puts vehicle and robotics technologies on a common platform. The company is also working toward mass production of its IRON humanoid robot and is developing flying cars and Robotaxi services.
XPENG says the August funding round for its robotics business is the largest single-round private raise in China’s embodied AI industry. Last month, the first IRON units came off a newly commissioned production line, which the company calls a key step toward mass production.
