Pakistan’s car market could soon see a new and unfamiliar badge on its roads. XPeng, the Chinese electric vehicle brand that has been quietly expanding beyond its home market, is expected to launch in the country with two of its more ambitious models: the G6 electric SUV and the X9 luxury MPV.
The company, formally known as Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., has built its reputation on clean design, heavy use of technology, and a focus on electric-only platforms. While XPeng is still a relatively new name for Pakistani buyers, it is already present in several international markets, including parts of Europe and Southeast Asia.
Local sources suggest the vehicles will be brought in by Tesla Industries, the same firm that previously introduced the Gugo GiGi to Pakistan. If the plans move forward, the XPeng G6 will serve as the brand’s main volume model.
The electric SUV is expected to arrive in three variants, starting with a rear-wheel-drive Standard Range version priced around Rs14,500,000. A Long Range RWD variant is tipped to cost about Rs15,500,000, while the top-spec AWD Performance model could reach Rs18,500,000.
Those numbers place the G6 in familiar territory for Pakistani buyers shopping in the upper segment. A Toyota Fortuner, for example, now starts at over Rs12.4 million and stretches beyond Rs20 million for the GR-S. That said, the comparison only goes so far. The G6 plays in a very different space, offering an all-electric drivetrain, a minimalist interior, and a design language that feels closer to what is seen in newer European and Chinese EVs than in traditional ladder-frame SUVs.
At the higher end of the lineup sits the XPeng X9. The large electric MPV is expected to launch in a single, fully loaded variant with a price tag of roughly Rs28,500,000. With its sharp styling and lounge-like interior, the X9 is aimed squarely at buyers looking for something far removed from conventional people movers currently available in Pakistan.
XPeng’s global momentum adds context to its local ambitions. In November alone, the brand registered 2,001 vehicles across Europe, marking a year-on-year increase of nearly 78 percent. Sales have been particularly strong in Northern Europe, with Norway recording 529 registrations, double the figure from last year. Since February, XPeng has also entered the UK, where it has sold 750 vehicles so far.
Whether that success translates to Pakistan remains to be seen. With high car prices, limited charging infrastructure, and cautious buyers, XPeng’s arrival will be a test of how ready the local market really is for premium electric vehicles.
