And we can’t wait to start our exciting journey with XPENG,” says William Brown, Managing Director of IML, UK.

Additionally, XPENG AEROHT, the company’s eVTOL subsidiary and Asia’s largest in the sector, showcased the eVTOL X2 flying car, offering a glimpse into the future of multi-dimensional mobility.
As part of its UK debut, XPENG has opened pre-orders for its highly anticipated G6 Ultra Smart Coupe SUV, with launch prices starting at £39,990 and deliveries to begin in March 2025.

Its next-generation operating systems and premium features will provide a seamless and integrated driving experience that sets a new benchmark in electric mobility for UK drivers.
