XPENG, an AI-driven mobility company, has confirmed its official launch in the Philippines for September. The brand will operate through its direct subsidiary, XPENG Philippines, which will oversee local sales, marketing, distribution, and retail operations.

The initial lineup includes the XPENG X9, a flagship seven-seater, and the XPENG L03, an intelligent SUV coupe. Filings with the Department of Energy suggest these models may be available in both pure battery electric and plug-in hybrid options.

The company is implementing an ‘AI Mobility’ strategy to differentiate itself from regional competitors. Sam Chu, XPENG’s General Manager for Southeast Asia, stated that the company intends for Filipino drivers to view artificial intelligence as a “core component of mobility rather than just an additional feature.” This approach focuses on proprietary sensors, driver assistance technology, and in-car operating systems to advance intelligent transportation.
