Xpeng is looking to partner with franchised dealers in the UK ahead of plans to launch its G6 SUV in Q1 next year.

AM understands the Chinese brand has partnered with IM Group to distribute the G6, which is a Tesla Model Y rival, and wants to establish a traditional franchised retail network in the UK.

The G6 is priced from around £22,900 in China, but UK prices are expected to be higher due to import duty and homologation. However, it's expected the brand will still look to undercut the Tesla Model Y with prices starting below £40,000. Xpeng has already undercut the Model Y in Germany by €7,000 (£5,900).
