On May 20, XPeng officially launched the GX with 8 variants, priced from 269,800 to 349,800 yuan (limited-time offer). Positioned as the brand's flagship large SUV on the SEPA 3.0 architecture, it offers both pure electric and EREV powertrains, with maximum CLTC combined range of 1,585km and second-generation VLA intelligent driving with up to 3,000 TOPS compute.
Launch Overview: 8 Variants for Full Coverage
On May 20, XPeng's flagship GX officially launched with 8 variants spanning pure electric and super-extended range dual powertrains:
Category | Limited-Time Price | Core Highlights |
|---|---|---|
EREV | 269,800-309,800 yuan | 1,585km combined range, 430km EV range |
BEV | 289,800-349,800 yuan | 750km CLTC range, 800V fast charging |
Dimensions are 5265×1999×1800mm with a 3115mm wheelbase. All variants use a 2+2+2 six-seat layout, standard dual-chamber air suspension, and integrated active steering.
Technical Highlights: Intelligence and Chassis Breakthroughs
The GX's technical configuration offers clear differentiation in its segment:
Second-Generation VLA Intelligent Driving
Up to 3,000 TOPS assisted driving compute
Full-scenario coverage including urban and highway NOA
End-to-end large model-driven with continuous evolution capability
Steer-by-Wire Chassis Technology
Among the world's first mass-produced steer-by-wire SUVs
Full electronic control of steering, braking, and suspension—40% faster response
Hardware redundancy reserved for L3 autonomous driving
Range and Charging
EREV: 1,585km CLTC combined range, 430km pure electric
BEV: 750km CLTC range
800V high-voltage fast charging, 300km range in 10 minutes
Competitive Comparison and Market Positioning
In the 300,000-yuan large SUV market, the GX directly targets Li Auto L9, AITO M9, and NIO ES8:
Dimension | XPeng GX | Li Auto L9 | AITO M9 |
|---|---|---|---|
Starting Price | 269,800 yuan | 409,800 yuan | 469,800 yuan |
Wheelbase | 3115mm | 3105mm | 3110mm |
AD Compute | 3000 TOPS | 508 TOPS | 400 TOPS |
EREV Range | 1585km | 1412km | 1402km |
At 269,800 yuan entry pricing, the GX undercuts the Li Auto L9 by roughly 140,000 yuan and the AITO M9 by about 200,000 yuan—a significant value advantage.
Significance for Overseas Buyers
The GX launch reveals three trends in China's intelligent EV market with reference value for international buyers:
AD compute arms race: 3,000 TOPS-level deployment means Chinese OEMs have entered an "excess compute" phase in intelligent driving. Future export models will significantly lead international brands in AD capabilities.
EREV technology maturation: 1,585km combined range means EREV technology has solved range anxiety for the vast majority of users. This powertrain format is particularly suitable for regions with underdeveloped charging infrastructure.
Steer-by-wire mass production: Batch application of steer-by-wire technology provides the technical foundation for Chinese OEMs to develop AD versions adapted to different market regulations.
For overseas buyers tracking Chinese NEVs through platforms like EX1000.COM, the GX can serve as a reference sample of the 300,000-yuan intelligent SUV technology ceiling in China. Its technical configuration and pricing strategy will likely be emulated by more export models within 1-2 years.
