Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer XPeng has officially launched sales and pre-orders for its GX and G9L extended-range flagship SUVs in 11 countries each across the Middle East and Africa, following a launch presentation in Dubai on November 2. The event marked the first time the six-seat GX was shown outside mainland China.
In the United Arab Emirates, XPeng announced local pricing with the GX Flagship Edition listed at AED 299,000 ($81,410), while the G9L three-row SUV was made available for pre-order starting at AED 259,000. XPeng did not disclose specific delivery timelines at the launch.
Both SUV models feature XPeng's Kunpeng Range Extender technology, which combines an 800V high-voltage architecture with 5C fast-charging capability. According to the company, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 10.7 minutes, offering a combined NEDC range of up to 1,210 kilometers designed to withstand long regional driving distances and extreme desert heat.
The two models share 10 launch markets: the UAE, Qatar, Morocco, Tunisia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, and Nigeria. In addition, the GX is being released in Egypt, while the G9L is launching in Ghana.
Prior to vehicle deliveries, XPeng stated that the GX had secured more than 4,000 pre-orders across the Middle East and Africa, including 800 units in the UAE. XPeng also stated plans to expand into all six Gulf Cooperation Council markets by the end of the year, backed by distributor agreements with Auto Sales in Kuwait and Mohsin Automobiles LLC in Oman.
