Xpeng launches first dealerships with Peter Cooper, Sandicliffe

Chinese brand Xpeng has officially launched its first dealerships at its Nottingham and Southampton retail spaces alongside the debut of its Xpeng G6 premium all-electric SUV.

The newly established Xpeng dealerships will allow visitors to engage with digital displays and receive expert guidance from brand specialists.

Darren Cooper, owner of the Peter Cooper Motor Group, commenting on the significance of the launch, said: "This isn’t just about launching a new dealership - it’s about introducing a new way of thinking about electric mobility. We’re offering UK customers a first-class introduction to Xpeng and a glimpse into the future of electric driving. There has been a real buzz of excitement about the Xpeng brand, and we have received a lot of interest before we’ve even opened the doors.”

Paul Woodhouse, CEO of Sandicliffe, also shared his enthusiasm: “We’re proud to be among the first Xpeng retailers in the UK to open our doors to the public. The G6 has already generated a huge amount of interest, and we’re confident that once people get behind the wheel, they’ll be just as impressed as we were. With its premium quality, advanced tech, and everyday practicality, this all-electric SUV is set to shake up the segment and challenge the more established players.”

William Brown, managing director of UK distributor partner International Motors, said: “Opening our first UK retail site is a major milestone, but it’s just the beginning. We’re aiming to have between 20 to 25 retailers live by the end of our first year, supported by strategically located aftersales hubs to give customers peace of mind and nationwide coverage. It’s all about building a seamless ownership experience from day one.”

"The opening of our first UK retailers and the arrival of the Xpeng G6 is a crucial moment for our business and for British car buyers," he added. "The G6 is an advanced, premium all-electric SUV, perfectly sized for UK roads. It has been designed and developed to redefine consumer expectations, with everyday real-world usability that has been honed to exceed the requirements of owners and drivers, without compromise."
