In Brief
XPeng is launching in Europe the L03, a new entry‑level electric coupe-SUV offered from 34,990 euros. This model, crafted under the direction of a former Ferrari designer, promises up to 520 km of range and four distinct versions aimed at customers coming from Tesla or hybrid vehicles. The L03 highlights its tech features, practical options such as the “YouTuber” pack, and careful safety. Preorders begin July 16, 2026, with deliveries slated to start in early October, and a goal of 800 sales in the first year.
XPENG’s lineup widens from the bottom. Following the G6, G9, and the P7+ sedan, the Chinese automaker introduces the L03, an electric coupe-SUV priced like a B-segment hybrid SUV. Orders open on July 16, 2026.
A Design Overseen by a Former Ferrari Designer
The L03’s styling was shaped under the direction of JuanMa Lopez, XPeng’s head of design who previously worked at Ferrari. The result is intentionally polished. The light signature echoes the X from the brand’s logo, cameras are neatly integrated into the bodywork, and the flush door handles remain 100% mechanical.
A choice that simplifies everyday use, especially in winter. This surface attention also serves aerodynamics, with an announced Cx of 0.28. At 4.65 meters long and 1.92 meters wide, the L03 sits squarely among the references in the compact electric-SUV segment.
Two new colors join XPENG’s palette. A Roche Grey close to Audi’s Nardo Grey, and a Spectral Violet that serves as the launch color.
On the buyer side, XPeng targets tech-savvy shoppers. Primarily customers coming from Tesla, but also drivers currently in hybrids. And for good reason—the pricing makes sense!
A Polished Cabin and a Turing Chip on Ultra Versions of the L03
Inside, the display behind the steering wheel is standard in Europe, while it remains optional in China. The new steering wheel offers a noticeably better grip than on the G6 and G9, and the glove box makes a comeback.
The audio system features 20 speakers, complemented by a head-up display borrowed from the P7+. Storage is plentiful, with a 10-liter drawer under the rear seat and an 89-liter front trunk, or “frunk.” XPeng even offers a “YouTuber” pack with camera mounts and magnetized zones.
The L03 also introduces a new operating system, with true Google Maps mapping and an autonomy planner. Ultra versions house two Turing VLA 2.0 chips totaling 1,500 TOPS, which notably improve parking assist. By comparison, a brand-new Apple M5 chip would only have about 133 TOPS.
On the safety front, the car can maintain control in the event of a tire blowout. It can even park itself on the shoulder if the driver becomes incapacitated.
The other variants rely on standard assists, with a Bosch camera handling the adaptive cruise control. In terms of safety, the platform is 100% XPeng, without gigacasting.
Four Trims, from €34,990 to €46,990 for the L03
The 400-volt platform allows charging at 193 or 236 kW depending on the battery, i.e., 10–80% in about 20 minutes. The Standard version opens the lineup at €34,990, with a 58.3 kWh battery, 245 horsepower, and 445 km of range. That’s already plenty enough for a B-segment hybrid SUV price.
Above it, the large 71.2 kWh battery version promises 520 km for €37,990. The L03 Long Range Ultra adds the Turing chips and claims 480 km, starting at €42,990.
Finally, the Performance Ultra delivers 388 horsepower from its all-wheel-drive setup, with a 0–100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds and 440 km of range, from €46,990.
Made in China for now, the L03 does not qualify for the eco bonus. Official homologation figures will be released by the end of September, ahead of the first deliveries in early October.
XPeng targets 800 sales in 2026, then 3,500 in 2027. These are measured goals for a model designed to broaden the brand’s reach. Will pricing lure buyers away from Tesla? Time will tell.
