“Radio is an essential part of the in-car experience. With Radioplayer, we can make it feel as connected and intuitive as the rest of the XPENG ecosystem.”
- Mengzhou Wang, XPENG
A car can be designed for a global market. Radio is always local.
And it’s what drivers turn to. An international study launched in June 2026 found that 83% of car buyers listen to radio in the car, making it the most-used audio source by a clear margin, and half say it’s what they listen to most often.
Every market has its own stations, services and listening habits. Radioplayer brings that local knowledge together with technology designed to deliver a consistent, intuitive radio experience across countries.
Through its collaboration with XPENG, Radioplayer brings broadcast radio, station identity and connected services into the vehicle, complementing XPENG’s approach to connected driving.
The result is radio that feels at home within XPENG’s vehicles, with an experience that adapts to the stations and services available in each market.
A great radio experience starts with making it easy to find, recognise and listen to a station.
Radioplayer brings the identity audiences already know into XPENG’s vehicles, from station names and logos to programme information, integrated within XPENG’s own design and software.
FM and DAB sit alongside internet connectivity, combining the reliability of broadcast with richer information and easier station discovery. This is hybrid radio in practice: bringing broadcast and connectivity together to create a more complete listening experience.
For drivers, that means familiar stations are easy to find and enjoy. For broadcasters, it means their brands and content have a stronger presence in the car, helping listeners recognise and connect with the stations they know.
Radioplayer’s platform for car radio brings broadcast and internet radio together in a solution designed for the automotive industry. It connects vehicles with the stations and services relevant to each market, providing a consistent foundation for radio across different countries.
For XPENG, this means a radio experience that fits naturally within its vehicles while reflecting the local stations drivers expect to find.
For other carmakers, it demonstrates how specialist radio technology and established broadcaster relationships can support a scalable in-car experience across markets, without each market needing to be approached from scratch.
As broadcaster-owned, Radioplayer combines automotive expertise with deep knowledge of radio and relationships with broadcasters around the world.
