Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV, HKG: 9868) has completed trial production of the updated P7+ at its Austrian facility, as the sedan prepares for its European launch in the coming days.
The 2026 Xpeng P7+ has completed trial production at the Graz plant in Austria, the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker announced today.
Currently, Chinese and Austrian teams are progressing with next-stage R&D and production processes to ensure high-quality delivery, Xpeng said, adding that it anticipates this AI-powered vehicle will deliver intelligent and comfortable mobility experiences to global users.
The progress comes as Xpeng prepares to launch the updated P7+ in Europe.
Xpeng announced yesterday that the updated P7+ and the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) version of its G7 SUV (sport utility vehicle) will be launched in China on January 8 and in Europe on January 9.
The China launch event will commence at 3:00 pm Beijing time in Guangzhou -- Xpeng's headquarters city -- while the European event will begin at 9:00 am local time in Brussels, Belgium.
Both the current P7+ and G7 models are currently available only as battery electric vehicles (BEVs). They will soon receive EREV variants as Xpeng advances its "dual-powertrain" strategy.
Xpeng aims to alleviate range anxiety by leveraging the combination of a large battery pack and a fuel tank in its EREV models, thereby driving further sales growth.
The company is actively expanding in overseas markets, having announced the commencement of localized production in Europe in September 2025.
The Xpeng facility utilizes the production line of Magna Steyr, an Austrian-based contract manufacturer and subsidiary of Magna International, and began manufacturing the G6 and G9 SUVs in September 2025.
Beyond the European plant, Xpeng has also initiated localized production in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Xpeng was one of China's fastest-growing EV makers in 2025, delivering 429,445 vehicles for the year -- a 125.94% year-on-year increase.
The company delivered 45,008 vehicles overseas in 2025, marking a 96% year-on-year growth.
By the end of 2025, Xpeng had expanded its overseas presence to 60 countries and regions, it said on January 1.
