Xpeng, electric car manufacturer, plans to expand operations to Brazil in partnership with VW in China

Aglomerado Digital brings new Chinese brands to Brazil

Omoda and Jaecoo, Grand daugther, Wey, Zeekr, and so on. All these names still sound unusual to Brazilians, but they will soon be in the mouth of the people, after all, these are Chinese brands that will arrive in the country in the coming months. And this new wave of “Chinese invasion” (the first happened at the beginning of the last decade) does not stop there. There is also the XPeng, partner of VW (read more) to add to this list. The brand is scheduled to debut soon on the national market.

New partners and electric models

According to information from the Motor1 website, the brand will operate in Brazil “soon” through a partner company. In other words, it is like Chery did with the group Caoa, a Brazilian company that controls the Chinese brand here. So far, the hammer has not been dropped on the respective official representative of the brand in the country.

SUVs, sedans and even flying cars

Just like the partner company, it is still not certain which models (all are electric) will be sold here, nor the first bet to land in the country. Keeping an eye on the market trend, however, the most obvious would be the brand (created a few years ago). ten years) import one of its SUVs. Therefore, as the brand positions itself in the luxury market, it would make sense to offer the G9, a large SUV, 4.89 meters long and with 800V architecture. In terms of engine power, 584 hp.

It is worth remembering that XPeng has up to flying car in the portfolio. But the range has, as highlights, the sedans P5 It is P7. The P5, although innovative, with a LiDAR laser sensor system, promises almost complete driving autonomy. However, it would be useless to bring it, because the system could not be used here.

Therefore, another plausible bet would be the P7, which is 4.87 meters long and occupies the brand's top-of-the-line position. It generates up to 430 hp (one motor on each axle) and a range of over 700 km with a full battery charge – 87.5 kWh. Regarding prices, there are no guesses yet.
