XPeng Motors delivered 32,158 vehicles in May 2026, up 3.7% month on month and down about 4% year on year — the fifth consecutive month of negative annual growth. But the bigger story behind the XPeng May 2026 deliveries is the launch of the GX flagship SUV on May 20, which pulled in 24,863 firm orders within the first 12 hours and started customer deliveries on May 25. Q2 guidance has been set at 100,000-106,000 units, implying 59.5-69.1% sequential growth from Q1.
XPeng May 2026 deliveries: 32,158 units, fifth month of YoY decline
May’s 32,158 deliveries continue a 2026 pattern where XPeng is growing month on month but still lapping a strong 2025 comparison base. The product lineup carrying the May number includes:
- 2026 MY P7+: the refreshed mid-large sedan that anchors XPeng’s premium volume.
- G6 and G9 SUVs: mid-cycle products that still account for the bulk of deliveries in the RMB 200,000-300,000 (USD 27,600-41,400) range.
- G7 Super EREV: XPeng’s first extended-range entry, expanding the brand outside pure BEVs.
- MONA M03: the mass-market hatchback that re-set XPeng’s volume base in late 2024.
This lineup explains why XPeng May 2026 deliveries are growing sequentially — incremental support from the G7 EREV and continued MONA traction — while still trailing the same month a year ago, when the original P7+ ramp was at peak intensity.
XPeng GX flagship: 24,863 orders in 12 hours
The GX is XPeng’s new flagship SUV, launched on May 20, 2026. Pricing was set at RMB 279,800-359,800 (about USD 38,600-49,600), with a limited-time launch price from RMB 269,800 (USD 37,200). In the first 12 hours after pricing was revealed, XPeng booked 24,863 firm orders, with the Ultra trim accounting for more than 80% of the mix.
Customer deliveries started just five days later, on May 25, meaning only a partial month of GX volume showed up in the May number. That sequencing is what underpins XPeng’s Q2 guide of 100,000-106,000 units — June will be the first full month of GX deliveries and is expected to be materially higher than May.
Strategically, the GX is XPeng’s answer to the Li Auto L9 family and the new Zeekr 9X in the large premium SUV segment. By skewing 80%+ of pre-orders to the Ultra trim, XPeng is also signalling that the brand can move further up-market without leaning on price cuts — a critical lever for margins in 2H.
What the May numbers mean for Q2 guidance
XPeng’s Q1 2026 deliveries came in at about 62,800 units. The Q2 guide of 100,000-106,000 units implies a step change driven by the GX ramp, sustained MONA M03 volume, and a steady contribution from the G6, G9, P7+ and G7 Super EREV. Working backward, that suggests roughly 35,000-40,000 units per month in June and a further acceleration if GX production keeps up with demand.
The XPeng May 2026 deliveries base is the lower bound of that ramp. With 24,863 GX firm orders already in the book and Ultra trim production prioritised, the gating factor will be 5C battery and chip supply rather than demand.
Competitive read-across
Inside China’s premium NEV pack for May, XPeng’s 32,158 units sit below NIO Inc.’s 37,705, Zeekr’s 34,377 and Li Auto’s 33,350, but above Aito’s 34,300 within HIMA. The brand has gone from leading the pack in late 2024 to fighting for fourth or fifth, depending on how groups are defined. The GX launch is the clearest signal yet that XPeng is willing to defend that position with hardware rather than discounts.
