Xpeng's flagship GX SUV delivered 6,739 units in June, its first full month, with output set to rise 10% in July. The model targets a top-three segment position by Q4, having secured over 24,000 firm orders within 12 hours of launch and roughly 1,000 blind orders from the Middle East.
Delivery Ramp-Up: GX's First-Month Performance and Production Plans
Xpeng's flagship GX SUV saw its first full month of deliveries in June, with 6,739 units handed over. On July 1, the 10,000th GX rolled off the production line. Xpeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng revealed that GX output will increase by 10% in July to accelerate order fulfillment.
The GX officially went on sale on May 20, with a limited-time starting price of 269,800 yuan. Within the first 12 hours, firm orders surpassed 24,000 units, demonstrating strong market demand. Speaking in an interview with Cailian, Mr. He said GX sales are on track to challenge for the segment's top three by the fourth quarter.
Dual-Powertrain Flagship: GX Technical Breakdown
The GX is Xpeng's first full-size flagship SUV, offering both battery-electric (BEV) and super extended-range (EREV) powertrains to cover different usage scenarios and range needs:
| Variant | Battery | EV Range | Combined Range | Motor Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EREV | 63.3 kWh | CLTC 430km | CLTC 1,585km | Dual-motor (160kW front + 210kW rear) |
| BEV RWD | 91.9 kWh | CLTC 665km | — | Single-motor 270kW |
| BEV AWD | 110 kWh | CLTC 750km | — | Dual-motor (160kW front + 270kW rear) |
The EREV combines a 1.5L turbocharged engine with dual electric motors, balancing long-distance range with daily electric commuting. The GX measures 5,265 mm × 1,999 mm × 1,800 mm with a wheelbase of 3,115 mm, positioned as a full-size six-seat flagship SUV. Its dual-powertrain strategy allows it to cover a broader consumer base — from urban families to long-distance travelers.
The GX's core competitive strengths include:
- Dual powertrain options serving both EV enthusiasts and range-concerned buyers
- Full-size space and six-seat layout tailored for family travel
- Xpeng's self-developed Turing AI chip delivering 3,000 TOPS for advanced ADAS
Xpeng's Overall Rebound: New Models Driving Sales Recovery
The GX ramp-up was a key driver behind Xpeng's June delivery rebound. The company delivered 40,126 vehicles in June, a record monthly high for 2026 so far, up 15.93% year-on-year and 24.78% from May, ending five consecutive months of annual declines.
Xpeng's quarterly delivery performance in 2026:
| Quarter | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 21,821 | 94,008 | 62,682 | — |
| Q2 | 30,207 | 103,181 | 103,295 | +0.11% |
Second-quarter deliveries edged up 0.11% year-on-year, roughly flat with the same period last year, but surged 64.8% from the first quarter, signaling a notable sales recovery. As of end-June, Xpeng's cumulative deliveries since inception have reached 1,185,801 vehicles.
Meanwhile, Xpeng's strategic Mona L03 SUV opened for pre-sales on July 2, with a starting pre-sale price of 143,800 yuan. Mr. He revealed that the Mona L03's pre-sale performance broke the company's record for pre-orders over a comparable period across all models, with top-spec versions dominating orders. Deutsche Bank analysts expect the Mona L03 to average about 12,500 units in monthly sales. The GX and Mona L03 together form the key new-model lineup behind Xpeng's push for higher sales in the second half.
Overseas Expansion: Middle East First, Globalization on Track
Overseas demand for the GX has also exceeded expectations. Mr. He disclosed last month that the model had drawn about 1,000 reservations without any overseas pricing being announced, mainly from the Middle East market. At least four major overseas regions have expressed procurement interest.
Xpeng GX's overseas expansion will follow this roadmap:
- Prioritize fulfilling domestic orders and shortening wait times for customers facing delivery cycles exceeding 35 weeks
- Launch display and pre-sales in the Middle East as the first overseas market
- Gradually expand to other overseas regions that have signaled procurement interest
Notably, Xpeng's flagship MPV, the X9, has surpassed 60,000 units in cumulative global deliveries and entered seven European countries including Germany, Finland, and Norway in mid-June, accelerating the company's overseas expansion.
For buyers and dealers in Central Asia and Russia, the GX's dual-powertrain layout, full-size space, and intelligent configuration represent the latest example of Chinese NEV brands advancing into the premium market. For more export dynamics and market analysis, visit EX1000.COM.
