From telling stories of Chinese automobiles to building mutual trust with overseas consumers



Overseas social media platforms not only serve as important channels for XPeng to reach local users and integrate brand concepts into their daily life, but also function as a crucial breakthrough point for local brand innovation.

XPeng leverages various overseas social media platforms to connect with different overseas partners in a frequent and consistent manner. Through activities such as expert test drives, partnerships with agents, strategic collaborations, and cross-industry cooperations, XPeng continuously strengthens local communications. By expanding its reach through social media channels, it aims to engage with a wider range of potential consumers and establish trust throughout the entire product life cycle, thereby empowering the brand and its products.

From its social media accounts, it is evident that XPeng has shared stories about itself. However it still has a considerable distance to travel in order to establish mutual trust with local consumers. The top priority for XPeng's next steps in social media operations is to attract attention, gain recognition and foster sustained interest from overseas audiences.
