Abu Dhabi Gets a New XPENG Flagship Showroom (and the G6 and G9 Are on Show)

XPENG UAE has opened a new flagship showroom in Abu Dhabi, as the brand hits its one-year mark in the country. The space is at Al Salam Tower and is built around a “tech-first” retail setup — think digital displays, interactive zones, and a wall where you can actually see trims and finishes before you commit. And if you’re shopping right now, the G6 and G9 are the stars of the floor.

The new Abu Dhabi flagship: what’s different

The new location is meant to be a premium “retail experience” rather than just a place to sign paperwork.

• Location: Al Salam Tower, Abu Dhabi
• Setup: digital displays + interactive exploration zones
• A “material wall” for trims, colours, and finishes
• Design style: modern and minimalistic

This is the kind of showroom you get when the product pitch is “software-first”. It’s less about posters and more about letting you poke around the car’s details and options in a clean, controlled space.

(If you’re comparing brand spaces, here’s how another EV maker did it on SZR: NIO Hub Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road.)

What you can see on the floor: G6, G9, plus a one-day surprise

XPENG is using the opening to put its key SUVs front and centre.

• Models on display: XPENG G6 and XPENG G9
• Special one-day display: XPENG Aridge

If you’re an SUV shopper in the UAE, that pairing makes sense. The G6 is positioned as the brand’s flagship “coupe SUV” style option, while the G9 is the larger, more premium play — the one you’ll look at if cabin quiet and long drives matter.

Range, charging, and the software bits (in plain English)

XPENG is leaning hard into “daily use” stats: how far it goes and how fast it charges.

• Claimed real-world range: up to 570 km (G6/G9)
• Charging power: up to 380 kW
• Claimed charging time: 10% to 80% in 20 minutes
• Core tech: XOS operating system + XPILOT intelligent driving platform
• Cabin focus: refined and sound-insulated

In normal-people terms: XOS is the car’s built-in software layer (the thing that runs screens and features), and XPILOT is the driver-assist stack (the features that help with driving and parking). XPENG is also saying these same tech foundations support its wider work in aerial mobility and robotics.

What’s next in the UAE: service expansion, more models, and EMIs

The Abu Dhabi site is part of a bigger rollout plan — and the useful bit is aftersales.

• Current footprint: Abu Dhabi flagship + Dubai showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road
• Next expansion: a full Triple-S facility (sales, service, spare parts) planned for Mussafah in 2026
• Regional pipeline: five new models next year, including REEV tech; seven models by end of 2026
• Finance (intro offers): EMIs from AED 2,599 (G6) and AED 3,199 (G9), zero down payment

A proper service-and-parts facility matters in the UAE because EV ownership gets a lot less “experimental” once aftersales is easy and local. XPENG also points to its wider global momentum, including a Volkswagen partnership that’s meant to integrate XPENG technologies into future VW EV models.

(If you want the corporate side: XPENG says it launched in the UAE in October 2024 via Ali & Sons, with operations managed by Gulf Star Motors. )

What Ali & Sons says about the move

Ali & Sons frames the Abu Dhabi opening as a long-term commitment to the UAE market and “smarter, cleaner mobility”.

• Core themes: technology leadership, sustainability, customer-focused design

It’s the standard partner message, but the subtext is practical: more physical sites, more support capacity, and a clearer reason for UAE buyers to take the brand seriously beyond a test drive.
