XPENG will launch its next-generation G9L flagship SUV at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, where it will also showcase its wider range of AI-focused vehicles, robotics and future mobility technologies.
The Chinese automotive manufacturer will exhibit at the Paris Motor Show from 12–18 October, with its stand covering more than 1,000 square metres in Hall 6.
The G9L will make its global debut on 12 October. XPENG says European order books will open at the show, with pricing for the European market also announced.
The SUV is expected to become the fourth XPENG model produced in Europe, as the company expands its local manufacturing operations. It forms part of the manufacturer’s stated “In Europe, For Europe” strategy, which includes European research and development and products aimed at regional customers.
Alongside the G9L, XPENG will display the L03, P7+, G6, G9 and X9. The stand will also feature the company’s IRON humanoid robot, flying-car technology and other elements of its Physical AI programme.
XPENG will also participate in the Paris Motor Show’s official Autonomous Lab programme with its L03 SUV coupe. The company says it and Tesla will be the only two automakers participating in the programme.
The event will provide XPENG with its first large-scale NGP intelligent-driving test ride programme outside China. The company says it is developing its European intelligent-driving capabilities through local research and development, adapting the technology to European roads, traffic conditions and regulatory requirements.
XPENG has a European R&D centre in Munich and has delivered more than 60,000 vehicles in Europe. In France, the company reports more than 6,000 deliveries since entering the market in 2024.
