In early January, the company launched its X9 Ultra Smart Large Seven-seater MPV, followed by immediate deliveries across more than 100 cities in China. 

In the month under review, XPeng delivered 2,478 X9s. The company said orders for X9 Max trim accounted for approximately 70% of total X9 orders.

The company said it will extend its end-to-end XNGP coverage to major urban road networks, parking spaces, and private roads nationwide by 2024.

Additionally, XPeng plans to initiate R&D on Highway NGP for overseas markets this year and on XNGP in 2025.
