Newmarket Motors, a leading Cork motor dealership, is delighted to add XPENG, an all-electric passenger car brand, to its existing lineup, which includes Volkswagen passenger cars and Volkswagen commercial vehicles. This multi-award-winning dealership has been appointed as the first XPENG dealer outside of Dublin by MDL Motor Group, one of Ireland's most established motor distributors.

Founded in 2014, XPENG is a leading Chinese software-driven mobility company that designs, develops, and manufactures Smart EVs. The company's performance and growth have been strong enough to turn heads in the industry, even attracting a substantial investment from Volkswagen in 2023 and the formation of a strategic alliance.

Launched in Ireland just seven months ago, the brand is rapidly gaining recognition in the motoring world. The XPENG model currently available to Irish motorists is the all-electric, 'ultra-smart' 4-door G6 Coupé SUV. Further models are expected to follow, in which stand-out software design and manufacturing technology will continue to be a key aspect.

Welcoming Newmarket Motors, MDL Passenger Car Sales director, Ciaran Allen said: "From the outset, our aim has been to establish a dealer network for XPENG that would be stand out in its own right, that would have the capability to create a similarly distinctive and respected presence for XPENG in the Irish market, with the capacity to fulfil XPENG's expectations and achieving sales volumes in line with the brands ambition in the Irish market, that would equate to XPENG's own ambitions in the market".

Speaking on the introduction of XPENG to the Munster market, Newmarket Motors Director Annette Browne stated, "We are delighted to add XPENG to our current range of brands and are excited to showcase the G6 Coupé, the first model available in the Irish market. We look forward to presenting this innovative vehicle to our existing customers and to motorists who are looking for something new when it comes to sustainable motoring. The brand offers the very best in innovation and performance to the Irish EV market.

Annette added, "With a wide range of features as standard, XPENG offers a compelling alternative to the traditional EV brands. Its stand-out design, striking visual appeal, refined interior, and advanced technical features come together in a model range that we proudly represent which we know our customers will love.” For more information, visit xpeng.com/ie.
