Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng Inc. is bringing a sports utility vehicle and minivan to Hong Kong as it ramps up a global expansion to boost sales.

Both the G6 electric SUV, which will retail from HK$299,900 ($38,400) with trade-in, and the X9 minivan will be delivered to the Asian financial hub in the second half of this year, the company said Friday. The cars will be equipped with a new generation of its voice control system that will recognize Cantonese, the most commonly used language in Hong Kong.
