BEIJING, March 20 (Reuters) - Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng ( XPEV ) will launch EVs for the Latin American market at an event in Mexico on March 25, it said on Friday.

The overseas push comes as the company posted its first-ever quarterly profit in the fourth quarter, beating estimates and joining Nio, Li Auto ( LI ) and Leapmotor among China's so-called "new forces" of automakers that achieved the break-even milestone.
