XPeng set to bring new cars to GIIAS
Kompas Otomotif, 26 May '26
Following the official launch of the locally assembled G6 Pro SUV in Purwakarta, West Java, XPeng Indonesia has confirmed plans to introduce additional products to the local automotive market in the near future.
XPeng Indonesia CEO Iki Wibowo stated that the company is preparing to introduce a new model at the 2026 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS).
"GIIAS (2026) already has (new cars). At least one (model)," said Iki in Bogor recently.
The announcement has led to speculation regarding which models could be introduced to Indonesia. Given XPeng's global portfolio, attention has focused on the XPeng P7 sedan and the GX SUV.
The XPeng P7 was previously displayed at the 2026 Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) for market testing and reportedly received a positive response from visitors. However, Iki stated that local consumers may still need to wait before the sedan becomes available locally. The primary obstacle remains the absence of a right-hand-drive configuration from the manufacturer.
"Currently, the P7 does not have right-hand-drive production. If there is right-hand-drive production, we will also study the market. So far, we have displayed it at several events, and the interest has been quite good. Hopefully, if there is a right-hand-drive version, we will further study the possibility," said Iki.
Apart from the P7, the XPeng GX has also attracted attention. Commenting on the possibility of introducing the GX to the local market, Iki stated that the availability of right-hand-drive variants globally remains the key factor in determining whether XPeng Indonesia launches a new model. At present, the company's global product portfolio with right-hand-drive configuration remains limited.
"So far, only the X9 and G6 have right-hand drive; those are the only two. So, as long as there is right-hand drive, we will consider it," said Iki.
This indicates that the possibility of the GX and other XPeng models entering the local market remains open in the future. The main requirement is that cumulative regional market demand reaches a level considered commercially viable for the global manufacturer to produce right-hand-drive versions.
