Xpeng Expands Google Partnership to Bring Google Play to Vehicles

Xpeng expanded its collaboration with Google to integrate Google Play directly into its AI-powered cockpits. The integration is scheduled to launch in early 2027, providing phone-optional access to hundreds of automotive apps from more than 100 countries. Built on Android Automotive OS, the system will let users open and interact with downloaded apps through the vehicle’s multilingual voice assistant. The expansion follows the July 2026 integration of Google Maps’ Auto SDK for navigation and overseas driver-assistance systems.
