There’s a new name in the electric vehicle world, and it’s starting to turn heads on Australian roads. Xpeng might be new to Australian roads, it’s already making a strong impression with its cutting-edge electric vehicles and futuristic tech. But as more drivers make the switch to this innovative EV brand, it raises a key question: If your Xpeng is involved in an accident, who can you trust to repair it properly?
Electric vehicles aren’t like traditional cars – they need specialised tools, training, and experience to be repaired safely and correctly. That’s why finding a trusted provider for Xpeng smash repairs in Sydney is essential for protecting your investment and keeping your EV performing at its best.
Who is Xpeng?
Founded in China in 2014, Xpeng Motors, also known as Xiaopeng Motors, has rapidly become a major name in the global EV market. The company focuses on intelligent electric vehicles, with cutting-edge advancements in autonomous driving and in-car artificial intelligence systems.
After significant success in its domestic market and a strong launch across Europe, Xpeng has now begun making its mark in Australia. As the brand grows, so does the need for high-quality Xpeng body repairs that meet manufacturer standards.
Xpeng’s Launch in Australia
Xpeng officially launched in Australia in early 2024, with distribution handled by local partners such as EVDirect. The initial rollout targeted early adopters and fleet customers, with limited availability in the first phase. As of 2025, there are an estimated 2,500 Xpeng vehicles on Australian roads, and projections suggest that number could climb to 10,000 units by the end of 2026 due to increasing demand and competitive pricing.
Xpeng Models Available in Australia
Currently, Australian customers can choose from the following Xpeng models:
- Xpeng G6: A mid-size SUV positioned as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y.
- Xpeng P7: A sleek, performance-oriented electric sedan with advanced features.
Future models may include the G9 SUV and the X9 Ultra Smart Large Seven-seater.
While Xpeng develops much of its technology in-house, including proprietary software and hardware, many components (such as batteries) are sourced from global suppliers like CATL. This combination ensures consistency in performance, safety, and repairability across models.
No Official Xpeng Smash Repair Network – Yet
Xpeng has not yet announced an official certified collision repair network in Australia. However, Scientific Motor Body Works (SMBW) has formally applied to become part of Xpeng’s approved repairer program once it launches.
This is especially important for Xpeng owners because electric vehicles require specialised handling, training, and tools. Xpeng repairs should be carried out by qualified EV panel beaters who understand the complexities of battery systems, ADAS calibration, and lightweight structural components.
