XPeng completes production trial for G9L SUV in Austria

XPeng announced on October 7, 2026, that its flagship electric SUV, the G9L, completed its first production trial at Magna's complete vehicle plant in Graz, Austria. The G9L is the company's fourth model assembled at the site, joining the G6, G9, and P7+.

The trial comes one year after XPeng and Magna launched local manufacturing in Graz in the third quarter of 2025. Following the test run, a pre-production G9L will complete a 1,324-kilometer road journey from Graz to Paris ahead of its global premiere at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, where order books will open.

The G9L is planned for launch across 64 countries and regions. Development included 192 crash tests, over 110 testing protocols, and about 6.74 million kilometers of road testing across 26 countries and regions over three years. The vehicle is engineered to meet five-star safety ratings under E-NCAP, A-NCAP, C-NCAP, and C-IASI standards. It features dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering with up to 15 degrees of steering angle.

XPeng has delivered more than 100,000 vehicles overseas to date, including over 60,000 in Europe and more than 6,000 in France. In the second quarter of 2026, overseas deliveries rose 81% year on year to exceed 20,000 units for the first time. International sales contributed 25% of first-half revenue, with an average selling price above €40,000.
