On May 20, XPeng officially launched its all-new flagship mid-to-large SUV - the XPeng GX. The new model is available in eight variants, offering both pure electric and extended-range powertrain options. The vehicle is equipped with XPeng's fully self-developed AI intelligent chassis with integrated domain control and steer-by-wire technology, four Turing AI chips delivering up to 3000 TOPS of computing power, Huawei megapixel DLP digital projection headlights, and dual zero-gravity seats, along with more than 100 flagship-level features. With product strength far exceeding its segment, the XPeng GX is making a strong push into the large SUV market.
Exterior Design
"The Greater Bay Area's Range Rover" with a Powerful Presence
The XPeng GX adopts the brand's new "Universe Horizon" design language. The vehicle measures 5265 × 1999 × 1800 mm with a 3115 mm wheelbase, surpassing the AITO M9 in overall dimensions.
The front fascia features a full-width light bar integrating 340 LED light sources, along with Huawei's industry-first megapixel DLP digital projection headlights. These headlights support functions such as ground pattern projection, following-distance warnings, and SOS projection during emergency stopping scenarios, while delivering brightness of up to 2000 lumens.
The side profile adopts a yacht-inspired streamlined silhouette, with fully blacked-out A/B/C/D pillars and frameless-style window trim, creating a floating roof effect. The vehicle also achieves a remarkably low drag coefficient of just 0.255Cd.
At the rear, the XPeng GX features a full-width taillight integrating 380 LED light sources, paired with an integrated clamshell tailgate. The trunk opening measures up to 975 mm × 1238 mm, while standard cargo capacity reaches 673L.
Interior Features
First-Class Luxury Inspired by Private Aviation
The cabin of the XPeng GX adopts the "Universe Quantum" design philosophy, featuring a 17.3-inch 3K ultra-narrow-bezel central display, an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, and an 88-inch AR-HUD, creating a seamless five-screen interactive experience.
The steering wheel is the industry's first steer-by-wire steering wheel, supporting 135 mm electric adjustment and an intelligent welcome function.
The second row is equipped with independent zero-gravity seats upholstered in perforated NAPPA leather, offering heating, ventilation, massage, and power leg support functions.
The entire cabin is fitted with 33 Hi-Fi-grade speakers, a 2032W premium audio system, a 12.5L dual-opening onboard refrigerator with a temperature range of -6°C to 50°C, and a 21.4-inch rear ceiling-mounted entertainment display.
The vehicle also features AI electrochromic privacy glass, capable of changing tint in just 0.16 seconds, while providing sound insulation, heat insulation, and UV protection. Altogether, the XPeng GX delivers a fully loaded luxury experience.
Performance & Range
800V 5C Ultra-Fast Charging with Up to 1,585 km Combined Range
The entire XPeng GX lineup is built on an 800V high-voltage platform with 5C ultra-fast charging technology, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 11.7 minutes. The vehicle also supports 6 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) external power output.
The pure electric version is available in both RWD (665 km) and AWD (750 km) variants, with the AWD model delivering a combined system output of 430 kW.
The extended-range version features a 1.5T range extender combined with dual front and rear motors, producing a total output of 370 kW. It offers a CLTC pure electric range of 430 km and a combined range of up to 1,585 km.
The vehicle accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 4.98 seconds, runs on regular 92-octane gasoline, and achieves a WLTC fuel consumption of just 6.8L/100 km in charge-depleted mode, delivering both strong performance and excellent efficiency.
Intelligent Driving
The XPeng GX is equipped with a self-developed Turing AI chip, offering three computing power levels: Max version with 1 chip (750 TOPS), Ultra SE version with 2 chips (1500 TOPS), Ultra version with 3 chips (2250 TOPS), and the flagship version with 4 chips reaching 3000 TOPS. All models support both city NGP and highway NGP, with Ultra SE and above supporting the second-generation VLA model. XPeng Robotaxi will begin mass testing in the second half of 2026, and its model capabilities will continue to improve GX users, enabling continuous evolution of intelligent driving capabilities.
Safety Performance
Comprehensive Protection with Both Passive and Active Safety
The XPeng GX adopts a high-strength steel-aluminum hybrid body structure, while the second-row seats come standard with dedicated airbags. Together with multiple airbags throughout the cabin, the vehicle delivers comprehensive passive safety protection for all occupants.
In terms of active safety, the GX leverages its 3000 TOPS ultra-high computing power, combined with multiple high-definition cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and other sensing hardware, to provide full-scenario active collision avoidance capabilities.
The Huawei DLP projection headlights also support an SOS projection function during emergency stopping scenarios, allowing the vehicle to project emergency signals outward when needed, adding another layer of safety protection for occupants.
Chassis Performance
The XPeng GX is equipped with a fully self-developed AI intelligent chassis with integrated domain control and drive-by-wire technology. The system combines the XVMC intelligent motion control system, full steer-by-wire four-wheel steering, electro-hydraulic braking (EHB), AI-controlled dual-chamber air suspension, and DCC adaptive damping control.
Both the dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel active steering come standard across the entire lineup, allowing this large 5.26-meter SUV to maintain impressive agility and maneuverability.
The system significantly reduces body roll and vehicle movement, delivering an excellent balance between ride comfort and dynamic handling performance.
From its fully self-developed AI intelligent chassis with drive-by-wire technology to its top-tier 3000 TOPS computing power, from 800V 5C ultra-fast charging to Huawei DLP projection headlights, the XPeng GX integrates more than 100 flagship technologies into one vehicle, truly delivering on the promise of "over 100 class-leading technologies standard across the lineup at the RMB 500,000 level."
This is not only a concentrated showcase of XPeng's technological strength, but also a new value benchmark for the large SUV market - proving that flagship-level features no longer need to be exclusive to high-priced vehicles, allowing every user to enjoy a premium travel experience.
