XPeng and Geely Plan Google Services for 2027, With Different Rollout Limits
XPeng and Geely have outlined separate plans to bring more Google services into their vehicles in 2027. The announcements point toward more apps running directly in the car, but neither establishes that a particular vehicle on sale today will receive every feature.
XPeng targets Google Play in early 2027
In an October 15 announcement posted October 16, XPeng said it plans to integrate Google Play into its Android Automotive OS-based cockpit starting in early 2027. The company describes apps running on the dashboard without requiring a connected phone.
XPeng says the selection will cover navigation, charging, parking, audio and other categories, with video and games available while parked. Its voice assistant is intended to open and interact with apps. The company has not yet provided the full vehicle and market rollout; availability will depend on the model, region and safety requirements.
Geely’s first application is planned for the second half
Geely Auto Group’s October 16 release puts the first application of Google built-in in the second half of 2027. It is aimed at overseas markets outside China and the United States where Google services are available, subject to market, product and regulatory readiness.
Geely identifies Google Maps, Google Play and Gemini among the planned services. The agreement spans upcoming vehicles across brands including Geely, Lynk & Co, Proton, Riddara and smart, but detailed model eligibility and launch timing are still to come.
What buyers should check
These are two distinct rollout commitments, not one group-wide update. XPeng’s early-2027 target is specifically for native Google Play; Geely’s later target concerns its Google built-in package. Neither announcement should be read as confirmation of a retrofit for every existing owner.
Before treating app support as part of a purchase decision, look for a model-specific specification and a confirmed delivery-market announcement. Infotainment availability also says nothing by itself about a vehicle’s driver-assistance capability.
