Why Anne Curtis Is the Perfect Fit for XPENG
The choice of Curtis as brand ambassador reflects the values she shares with XPENG: confidence, curiosity and a forward-looking spirit. Her enduring success across film, television, hosting, music, fashion and lifestyle, together with her sophisticated yet approachable image, aligns with XPENG’s vision of redefining premium mobility through Physical AI.
“Anne brings together elegance, energy, intelligence and authenticity,” said Hanna Tao, Southeast Asia Marketing Director of XPENG. “She is modern, stylish and constantly evolving while remaining true to her audience. As we begin our journey in the Philippines, we are excited to have her as our partner in bringing XPENG’s premium and human-centered vision of intelligent mobility to Filipino drivers.”
For Anne, the partnership began with her experience behind the wheel of an XPENG. “Ever since I first drove the XPENG L03, I’ve wanted people to experience it for themselves,” said Anne. “I love discovering things that feel fresh and exciting, and that’s what I felt with XPENG. It’s smart and stylish, but it also feels very intuitive, like the car is designed around you and what you need. I’m really happy to be part of bringing that experience to more Filipinos,” she says.
Through its partnership with Anne, XPENG aims to make advanced electric vehicles and intelligent mobility more accessible, relevant and engaging to Filipino consumers. Her appointment also marks the beginning of the brand’s efforts to introduce its premium design, intelligent technology and human-centered approach to mobility to a wider local audience.
