Xpeng's First Right-Hand-Drive G9L Rolls Off the Line, Heading to Australia

Xpeng has marked a production milestone with its first right-hand-drive G9L SUV, which rolled off the assembly line at its Guangzhou facility. The vehicle is part of the company’s push to expand into right-hand-drive markets, starting with Australia. According to CnEVPost, the G9L is set to be sold in 64 countries and regions, signaling a broad international strategy for the model. The move reflects Xpeng’s growing ambitions beyond its home market in China, where competition in the electric vehicle sector remains intense. By targeting right-hand-drive countries, the automaker aims to capture demand in regions such as Australia, the UK, and parts of Southeast Asia.
