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.

AeroHT, XPeng’s electric air mobility arm, has shared an update on the progress of its Land Aircraft Carrier. AeroHT’s modular flying car is scheduled for public crewed test flights this fall ahead of mass production and customer deliveries in 2026 and will cost at most $280,000.

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.

Days after kicking off mass production of its new MONA M03 sedan in China, XPeng Motors has set a date for its official launch and shared its starting price. At around $19,000, the MONA M03 will arrive as XPeng’s most affordable BEV model to date.

According to a recent post from XPeng Motors founder, chairman, and CEO He Xiaopeng, the Chinese EV automaker’s new AI-centric model, the MONA M03, has begun mass production overseas. This is another notable milestone, as the MONA M03 is expected to launch later this month.

XPeng Motors and Volkswagen Group have announced an expansion to a recently signed partnership that pushes the collaboration from the co-development of a China-only vehicle platform to now include VW’s global MEB platform technology.

One day after reports stated XPeng’s next BEV will abandon LiDAR for pure vision cameras, the Chinese automaker has confirmed its official model name and shared first images. Here’s what we know about the BEV, called the P7+, which XPeng’s founder says is on a “mission to open a new era of intelligent driving.”

Following reports dating back to February, XPeng Motors appears to be genuinely beginning a transition from LiDAR sensors to pure vision cameras in advanced driver systems. The ADAS technology, similar to that of Tesla, is expected to roll out in a new XPeng BEV model later this year.

We have learned new details of XPeng’s new lineup of MONA EVs, beginning with the flagship M03 model. This new AI-centric BEV is promised to deliver its class’s strongest smart driving capabilities and will launch at a starting price below RMB 200,000 ($27,500).

For a couple of years, two of the leading driving systems pushing the limits of automotive autonomy have been Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) and XPeng Motors’ Navigation Guided Pilot (XNGP). Both EV automakers are leading the race in their respective markets, but neither technology is available in the opposite country (at least for now). In a cool video recently posted by XPeng, founder, chairman, and CEO He Xiaopeng tested out Tesla FSD for himself in the US and documented his experience, which you can see in the video below.

Nine days before XPeng Motors is expected to launch its new AI-centric BEV brand MONA publicly, it has given the social media world a little appetizer by sharing the official name and first full image of its first model.

XPeng Motors is rolling out cutting-edge AI technology that it hopes will transform the automotive industry from “electrification to smartification.” The Chinese EV automaker held an AI Day event earlier today, detailing the impressive capabilities of XOS 5.1.0, “AI Tianji,” which it hailed as “the industry’s first AI-powered in-car OS.”

XPeng Motors kept things relatively short but sweet during its 20-minute presentation at the 2024 Beijing International Auto Show earlier today, but there’s a lot to get excited about following several updates from XPeng founder, chairman, and CEO He Xiaopeng, including an “entirely new breed” of EVs under a new sub-brand. Here’s the full recap.

According to a recent post from XPeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng, the automaker’s self-driving ADAS navigation-guided pilot (NGP) is being tested on German roads and showing “great promise,” leading the way for an XNGP rollout throughout Europe.

Chinese EV automaker XPeng Motors is making good on its vow to enter new European markets this year, beginning with Germany. Beginning today, two all-electric XPeng models are available to German customers as the automaker targets an ambitious market share in a land home to several huge names in legacy OEMs and shows no signs of slowing down in its expansion through Europe.

XPeng’s eVTOL arm, AeroHT, announced its latest milestone today in a quest to achieve commercial operations of its all-electric “flying cars” in China. The company has successfully received design certification from the powers that be for its air module vehicle, codenamed X3-F, bringing the technology one step closer to flight certification and customer deliveries.

Leading Chinese EV automaker XPeng Motors has publicly shared plans for a new EV brand to deliver affordable, AI-driven smart cars to young consumers. Targeting China’s A-class segment of EVs priced between RMB 100,000-150,000, XPeng’s new brand could help pave the way for more affordable EVs around the globe.

As many eVTOL developers are gearing up for their first-ever flights, AeroHT continues to showcase why it’s one of the leaders in the segment. Earlier today, XPeng’s aerial arm conducted its first successful flight test in its all-electric X2 “flying car” eVTOL above the Chinese city of Guangzhou to test low-altitude scenarios for future transport and sightseeing routes.

XPeng Motors announced a massive milestone for its XPeng navigation guided pilot (XNGP) ADAS feature that enables self-driving in several scenarios. XNGP is now available unlimitedly on all roads, everywhere in China. That’s only part of it; XPeng also shared plans to expand the self-driving tech to other markets.
