We’re introducing XPENG to Yorkshire for the first time this month, with the launch of two new dealerships in Leeds and Hull. The expansion comes as we continue to diversify our manufacturer partnerships in response to growing demand for electric vehicles.
The Leeds site will be based at JCT600 Approved South Leeds, serving customers across West Yorkshire. In Hull, the new XPENG dealership at Priory Tec Park in Hessle opens following a reorganisation of our existing Volkswagen operations in the area, with the van centre relocating to the neighbouring JCT600 Volkswagen car dealership. The new site further strengthens our presence at Priory Tec Park, following the recent openings of a Changan EV dealership and a JCT600 Approved used vehicle centre.
Both the Leeds and Hull sites will offer full sales, servicing, and aftersales support.
Founded in 2014 in Guangzhou, China, XPENG is one of a new wave of technology-led electric vehicle manufacturers, recognised for its focus on onboard software, intelligent systems and energy efficiency. Its G6 electric SUV will be the first model available at our new Yorkshire dealerships, with additional vehicles due to join the UK line-up later this year as the brand expands its European presence.
The investment builds on JCT600’s recent expansion into new EV partnerships, including the addition of Chinese manufacturer Changan, and reflects our continued confidence in the evolving automotive market and growing consumer demand for electric vehicles.

Introducing XPENG to Yorkshire is an exciting time for JCT600 as part of our ongoing investment in electric vehicles and emerging automotive brands.
