XPeng Sets a Monthly Record: 50,237 Deliveries in October, With Overseas Sales Up 166%

XPeng delivered 50,237 vehicles in October 2026, a new monthly record, up 22 percent month over month and 20 percent year over year, the company announced October 31. Overseas deliveries also reached an all-time monthly high of 13,326 units, up 166 percent year over year — a sign that export markets are becoming a real second engine rather than a rounding error. XPeng electric vehicles delivered from January to October 2026 are expected to reduce life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions by more than 5.77 million tons compared with combustion vehicles, according to the company.

Product timing helped. The XPeng L05 was officially launched in mainland China in October, with deliveries set to begin November 1, 2026, giving the company a fresh model entering the final two months of the year. On October 26, XPeng also obtained a demonstration operation license to conduct Level 4 robotaxi services in Guangzhou — a regulatory step toward commercializing its autonomous driving work, not yet a commercial service.

The contrast with its Chinese rivals is the story of October. While XPeng set records, NIO and Li Auto both posted year-over-year and month-over-month declines, as detailed in the wider industry roundup. XPeng record rests on two legs that its rivals currently lack in combination: a new model launch landing on schedule and an overseas business growing at triple-digit rates. Whether overseas demand holds once the first wave of new-market launches passes is the question for November and December.
