ABU DHABI – Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer XPENG has significantly strengthened its Middle Eastern presence with the inauguration of a cutting-edge flagship showroom in Abu Dhabi’s Al Salam Tower. This strategic expansion commemorates the brand’s first anniversary in the United Arab Emirates market under its local representative, Ali & Sons Automotive.
The newly unveiled facility embodies XPENG’s premium retail philosophy, featuring immersive digital displays, interactive exploration zones, and an extensive material wall showcasing vehicle finishes. The minimalist design aesthetic reflects the brand’s commitment to technological sophistication while providing customers with a seamless environment to experience XPENG’s intelligent electric vehicles.
To mark the opening celebration, XPENG is exhibiting its flagship G6 and G9 SUV models alongside a special one-day display of the XPENG Aridge. These vehicles demonstrate impressive technical specifications, including real-world ranges up to 570 kilometers and ultra-fast charging capabilities that deliver 10-80% battery replenishment in just 20 minutes at 380 kW stations. The cabins incorporate advanced sound insulation technology, while the driving experience is powered by XPENG’s proprietary XOS operating system and XPILOT intelligent driving platform.
The Abu Dhabi showroom currently focuses on sales and brand experience, with plans to establish a comprehensive Triple-S facility (sales, service, spare parts) in Mussafah by 2026. This expansion will significantly enhance customer accessibility and support infrastructure across the Emirates.
Mohamed Al Dhaheri, Managing Director of Ali & Sons Automotive, emphasized the strategic significance: “Abu Dhabi provides a natural home for our brand, aligning with shared values of technological leadership, sustainability, and customer-focused design. Together with XPENG, we are proud to expand our footprint in the capital.”
XPENG’s global influence continues to grow through strategic partnerships, most notably with Volkswagen Group, which will integrate XPENG technologies into future Volkswagen EV models. Regionally, the brand plans to expand its lineup with five new models next year, including Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) technology, reaching seven total models by late 2026.
Financial accessibility remains a priority, with introductory EMI plans starting from AED 2,599 for the G6 and AED 3,199 for the G9, both featuring zero down payment options. The Abu Dhabi showroom now operates alongside XPENG’s existing Dubai facility on Sheikh Zayed Road, marking a substantial commitment to the UAE’s evolving electric mobility landscape.
