It enables more tailored intelligent electric mobility solutions for Southeast Asia, and accelerates the adoption of cutting-edge technologies across the region.

The first locally produced XPENG X9 rolled off

On July 1, the first locally produced XPENG X9 officially rolled off the production line in Indonesia. This intelligent electric MPV, which seamlessly blends spaceship-inspired design with family-oriented practicality, has already won the favor of 30,000 families worldwide.

To demonstrate the capabilities of X9, three Chinese XPENG owners set off from Guangzhou, China on July 5, driving X9 through Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore before reaching Jakarta, Indonesia. A nearly 2,485-mile journey that marks the first time a Chinese pure electric MPV traversed Southeast Asia and crossed the equator, and successfully overcame unstable conditions along the way.

These features align precisely with the needs of Indonesian families. Notably, X9 had already become Hong Kong's best-selling MPV in June, a testament to XPENG's growing momentum in the Asia-Pacific EV market and its emerging leadership potential in the global premium smart EV segment.
