XPeng recently teased its latest flagship vehicle, the XPeng GX, offering just a glimpse through a few images. Notably, many observers have remarked on its resemblance to a Range Rover. Thanks to official documents from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), we now have comprehensive details. The XPeng GX will be available in both a fully electric model and an Extended Range (ER) version that incorporates a small gas engine to recharge the battery while driving.
In China, all new vehicles must go through a public commentary period prior to sales. The XPeng GX has recently entered this stage, marking the final step before it reaches showrooms. The documentation outlines that XPeng intends to manufacture the SUV at its factory in Guangzhou. There are six versions detailed in the files, evenly divided between fully electric and extended-range models.
For enthusiasts of larger vehicles, the XPeng GX is sure to attract attention. This sizable six-seat SUV is designed for families or anyone requiring ample space. It measures 5,265 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and stands 1,800 mm tall, boasting a wheelbase of 3,115 mm. Additionally, the model equipped with the gas engine weighs a substantial 2,890 kg, combining considerable mass with ample space.
Despite its dimensions, the XPeng GX is not sluggish. Both the pure electric and range-extended versions can achieve a top speed of 200 km/h. For the range extended models, XPeng employs a 1.5-liter engine that functions as a mobile generator, producing 110 kW of power to maintain the battery charge. Drive performance is managed by two electric motors, with the front motor generating 210 kW and the rear motor contributing another 160 kW.
For buyers seeking to eliminate gas usage entirely, two primary configurations are available. One option features a single rear motor with a performance of 270 kW. Alternatively, an all-wheel-drive version is available by adding a 160 kW motor to the front. These models utilize different battery types, including lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and ternary lithium packs, all sourced from CALB. The battery electric versions are comparatively lighter than the gasoline-equipped variations, weighing between 2,690 kg and 2,820 kg.
XPeng has outfitted its new flagship with four Turing computer chips, collectively providing 3,000 TOPS of computing power. This advanced architecture is being leveraged to facilitate Level 4 autonomous driving, which is currently undergoing testing. This technology aims to allow the vehicle to perform most driving tasks autonomously, paving the way toward a future where electric vehicles can navigate without human input.
The timing of this launch is critical for XPeng. After an impressive year in 2025, with 429,445 vehicle sales—more than doubling sales from the previous year—the start of 2026 has presented challenges, with only 20,011 deliveries in January compared to December's figures. The Chinese automotive market is currently facing a slowdown, and XPeng is hopeful that the GX will assist in achieving its ambitious target of selling up to 600,000 cars this year.
We can expect the XPeng GX to officially launch within the next few months. With its bold design and high-tech features, this large SUV illustrates that the premium vehicle market remains vibrant. Whether customers opt for the all-electric variant or the extended-range model, they will be acquiring one of the most sophisticated vehicles available.
