Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO outpaced XPeng in July electric vehicle deliveries, according to latest monthly sales reports.
NIO delivered 20,498 vehicles in July 2024. The deliveries consisted of 11,964 premium smart electric SUVs, and 8,534 premium smart electric sedans. Cumulative deliveries of NIO vehicles reached 557,518 as of July 31, 2024.
On July 27, 2024, NIO hosted “NIO IN 2024”, where it further refined and deepened its systematic approach to technological innovation in smart electric vehicles. At the event, NIO unveiled significant technological breakthroughs across various areas, including the 5nm intelligent driving chip, a full-domain vehicle operating system, AI-driven smart systems, the world model for assisted and intelligent driving, and connectivity technology.
Last month, XPeng delivered 11,145 Smart EVs, up 1% year-over-year and 4% over the prior month. Out of the total July deliveries, 1,459 were XPeng X9s, bringing X9’s cumulative total to 14,602 units since its launch in January this year and extending its leadership of both the all-electric MPV and three-row model segments in China.
Overall, XPeng delivered 63,173 Smart EVs in the first seven months of 2024, a 20% increase from last year.
In July, XPeng’s monthly active user penetration rate in urban driving reached 84%. A strategic upgrade was highlighted at the recent XPeng Smart AI Technology Conference in Guangzhou, leveling up XPeng from “available nationwide” to “smooth experience anywhere.”
This upgrade has now been fully rolled out, offering users nationwide access to the enhanced XPeng on all public roads with navigation maps, regardless of city, route, or road condition. By the fourth quarter of 2024, XPeng aims to deliver a “door-to-door” smart driving experience, addressing current gaps in smart driving, such as ETC toll stations on expressways, parking lots, U-turns, roundabouts, private roads in campuses, and narrow paths.
Beginning August 1, 2024, the first batch of display cars for XPeng MONA M03, a smart all-electric hatchback coupe, arrived at XPeng showrooms in China.
