Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) is shipping its flagship GX SUV in volume to the Middle East and Africa, with orders in the Middle East exceeding 3,000 before overseas pricing has been announced.
The Chinese electric vehicle maker disclosed the development in a Weibo post on Saturday, without specifying the shipment size, destinations or local delivery timelines.
Overseas shipments of the GX began in August. Increased shipments to the Middle East and Africa will further expand the flagship model's international presence.
Launched in China on May 20, the GX is a full-size, 6-seat SUV available domestically in battery electric vehicle (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) versions.
The model carried an official price range of 279,800 yuan ($41,620) to 359,800 yuan at its China launch. Xpeng did not disclose the powertrain versions or configurations being shipped to the Middle East and Africa.
The GX reached its 20,000th delivery on August 31, just over 3 months after launch. The model recorded 7,224 deliveries in September, accounting for 17.51% of Xpeng's total, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
The expansion of GX shipments comes as international markets become an important source of growth for Xpeng, helping cushion a decline in its total deliveries so far this year.
Xpeng's overseas sales reached 10,055 vehicles in September, exceeding 10,000 for the first time and rising 100.94% year-on-year, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
