“Our goal is to reach 3,500 cars with our two models, G6 and G9,” Rodier said when asked about the 2025 delivery target.
Xpeng officially entered the French market in May, and deliveries started in September. According to Rodier, the company has delivered almost 800 cars so far (as of January 10), and 511 have been registered. Deliveries are higher as some cars were used to fill showrooms and test drive vehicles. In December, Xpeng delivered 300 cars in France.

Xpeng wants to have sales 50/50 between individual buyers and companies. At the moment, more than 80% of G9 sales are B2B. Also, 80% of customers opt for leasing, says Rodier. For example, the Xpeng G6 monthly subscription is 470 EUR without a deposit.
Xpeng sells two models in France: the G6, a rival to the Tesla Model Y, and the G9 flagship SUV. Although sales are 50/50, Rodier revealed that the G6 is slowly taking over.
