Xpeng Motors

Xpeng has officially launched its new G7 electric SUV in China, entering the fiercely competitive electric crossover market with a starting price of just 195,800 yuan ($27,325 USD). The G7 is positioned squarely to compete with the Tesla Model Y and the newly unveiled Xiaomi YU7.

It is priced significantly more aggressively than the YU7, which shook up the industry just last week.

Eight days after publicly unveiling a new Max variant of its already popular MONA M03 sedan, XPeng Motors has officially launched it in China at an insanely low price of RMB 139,800 ($19,400). For those prices, MONA M03 Max drivers will gain access to some of XPeng’s most advanced AI-centric technologies.

EV automaker XPeng Motors shared its unaudited financial report for Q1 2025, and nearly all of its data points to growth and potential as the Chinese brand continues its quest to become globally recognized. As such, XPeng’s predictions for Q2 continue massive year-over-year growth.

XPeng Motors has pulled the sheet off the top-tier variant of one of its newest and best-selling BEV models. During an event in China earlier today, XPeng unveiled the MONA M03 Max with a slew of new color combinations, enhanced pure vision ADAS, and the full version of the Chinese automaker’s Tianji cockpit system.

It’s been less than a month since XPeng Motors began teasing a new camouflage sedan codenamed the E29. This morning (or this evening if you’re in China), XPeng unveiled the mystery sedan as its next-generation P7. This vast redesign of the Chinese automaker’s flagship BEV sedan is a bona fide stunner, and makes me wish I could drive one of my own in the US.

After recently announcing plans to expand its market presence in Europe, Chinese EV Automaker XPeng Motors has officially opened up shop in Italy, one of the top five markets in the region. The move supports XPeng’s plans to have at least half of its sales come from markets outside of China.

XPeng Motors is touting a new record alongside its latest production milestone surrounding its new MONA M03 EV, launched less than a year ago. The company recently hit 100,000 builds of the M03 as demand for the new model continues to grow in China.

A new report states that Austria-based contract manufacturer Magna Steyr is on the cusp of securing two new customers in XPeng Motors and GAC Motor Co. As a result of the reported deal, those Chinese automakers would have an avenue around additional tariffs on imports imposed by the EU, while Magna Steyr gains some much-needed EV manufacturing on its Austrian assembly lines.

Tesla unveiled its new Model Y with a refreshed design in China and many pointed out that it looks remarkably similar to Xpeng’s P7, which is funny because Xpeng itself was a Tesla copycat at its inception.

It goes full circle.

Mere hours after images emerged of a seemingly new Tesla Model Y performing winter testing in China, XPeng Motors unveiled a new SUV called the G7 that will compete directly with the world’s best-selling BEV.

As we bid adieu to 2024, XPeng founder and CEO He Xiaopeng is setting the stage for a big 2025. The EV executive posted an internal letter to XPeng staff outlining the company’s key goals for the upcoming year, imploring all to prepare for fiercer competition in the EV segment and even predicted a price war on the immediate horizon.

According to regulatory filings in China, EV automaker XPeng Motors is planning upgrades to at least two current models. The filings detail facelifts to the XPeng G6 and G9 SUVs and hint at the automaker’s strategy of moving on from LiDAR sensors in favor of pure vision cameras, similar to Tesla.

As promised, XPeng Motors followed yesterday’s annual Tech Day event with the launch of its next all-electric model, the P7+. The sleek sedan arrives priced below previous pre-order numbers and is loaded with AI-centric technology while providing multiple battery chemistries to offer varying ranges.

XPeng Motors celebrated its annual Tech Day event in China earlier today, which was renamed “AI Day” for good reason. The topic of artificial intelligence dominated the Chinese mobility company’s incoming technologies, which were abundant. We got updates on a new in-house AI computing chip, a new Xpeng platform to support Level 4 autonomous robotaxis, flying cars, and eVTOLs, a new humanoid robot called “Iron,” complete with an existential launch video, and a surprising adoption of combustion-powered extenders that deliver up to 970 miles of additional range.

Four days after XPeng Motors first unveiled its new P7+ EV, hailed as the “world’s first AI car,” the Chinese Automaker showcased it to the European public during the Paris Motor Show. Following the event, pre-sales of the P7+ began in China, and XPeng shared initial pricing.

XPeng Motors has officially unveiled its new P7+ BEV sedan, the first of its lineup to ditch LiDAR sensors in favor of pure vision cameras, similar to Tesla. XPeng is hailing the P7+ as the “world’s first AI car,” which utilizes the technology across several features within the sedan.

XPeng Motors has just launched a new advanced version of its X9 MPV, featuring LiDAR, XNGP ADAS, and 610km of all-electric range. This long-range variant is now on sale in China, and XPeng is offering a limited-time discount for customers who buy early.

XPeng Motors is off to a hot start with the first BEV in its new AI-centric MONA line. After garnering tens of thousands of MONA M03 orders in its first couple of days, XPeng is now asking its component suppliers to bolster their capacity so the Chinese automaker can try and keep up with demand.

Just days after officially launching orders of its new MONA M03 EV in China, XPeng Motors is seeing huge customer interest as deliveries begin. The Chinese automaker reported the M03 garnered over 30,000 orders in its first 48 hours on sale.

When XPeng Motors announced its new MONA line of AI-centric BEVs, it said it was gunning for the Tesla in China. After officially launching its first MONA model, the M03, in China today, XPeng is coming out with guns blazin’, announcing a starting price of  RMB 119,800 ($16,815). That’s over half the price of a Tesla Model 3. As a result, the M03 has garnered huge orders out of the gate.

XPeng Motors appears to be the latest Chinese automaker looking to bring localized EV production to Europe. During a recent interview, XPeng’s founder, chairman, and CEO, He Xiaopeng, shared that the company is exploring potential sites in the EU to set up local BEV production.
