Xpeng is not playing defense anymore. The Chinese EV maker has just surfaced with a fresh wave of regulatory filings that points to a much broader product push, and the message is hard to miss: more SUVs, more price points, and a much sharper attack on the mass market.
The latest filings with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reveal several new models in the pipeline, including the G9L, L05 and an extended range version of the L03. On paper, it looks like routine paperwork. In reality, it reads like the blueprint for Xpeng’s next growth chapter.
The most ambitious of the lot is the G9L, a full size SUV that stretches 5,120 mm long, 1,999 mm wide and up to 1,795 mm tall, riding on a 3,100 mm wheelbase. That puts it squarely in large family SUV territory, with the kind of footprint buyers increasingly associate with premium comfort and road presence.
The battery electric G9L will be offered in both single motor and dual motor form. The single motor version uses a 270 kW unit, while the dual motor setup pairs a 160 kW front motor with a 270 kW rear motor. Buyers will also see two battery chemistry options, ternary lithium and LFP, both sourced from CALB.
Then there is the extended range version, which signals where Xpeng sees demand moving. The G9L EREV uses a 1.5 litre engine from Harbin Dongan Auto Engine producing 110 kW, not to drive the wheels directly, but to act as a generator. That formula has already proven hugely effective in China, where many buyers like the idea of electric driving without the pressure of planning every long trip around charging stops.
Not just one new SUV line
Xpeng is also widening the Mona family, a range that has quickly become one of the company’s most important bets. The newly filed L05 is a mid size SUV measuring 4,870 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width and 1,636 mm in height, with a 2,940 mm wheelbase. Its battery electric version gets a 183 kW motor and LFP battery packs from CALB.
The L05 EREV follows a similar recipe to the larger G9L’s range extended strategy, though with different hardware. It uses a 1.5 litre engine supplied by Chongqing Xiaokang Power, a Seres subsidiary, rated at 70 kW, while the battery comes from Eve Energy.
That same extended range setup also appears in the newly filed L03 EREV. The compact SUV measures 4,650 mm long with a 2,850 mm wheelbase, giving Xpeng another entry point in one of the busiest corners of the market. The BEV version of the L03 had already appeared in MIIT filings last month with a 183 kW drive motor supplied by Luxshare, so the addition of an EREV variant makes the strategy even clearer.
Xpeng is no longer treating range extended powertrains as a side experiment. It is embracing them as a practical sales tool. And honestly, it makes sense. Chinese buyers have shown again and again that they are willing to reward brands that can lower range anxiety without forcing a full retreat from electrification. Li Auto built much of its rise on exactly that logic.
For Xpeng, the Mona lineup could be the bridge between momentum and scale. The company is clearly hoping the L03 and L05 can repeat the strong market reception of the Mona M03 sedan, which has become a serious volume driver. The M03 currently starts at about €14,700 and delivered more than 175,000 units across 2025, accounting for nearly 41 percent of Xpeng’s total deliveries over the same period.
That number matters because it explains why Xpeng is moving so aggressively now. A single hit model can lift a brand. A full family of well positioned vehicles can change its future.
The company’s current flagship SUV is the G9, sold only as a battery electric vehicle. A new flagship model, the GX, is also on the way, with pre orders having opened last month. Add the newly filed SUVs to that picture, and Xpeng suddenly looks like a brand trying to cover almost every major demand pocket at once, from compact electrified family crossovers to large premium SUVs with range extender tech.
If these models launch on schedule later this year, Xpeng will enter the next phase of the EV battle with a much thicker playbook. In a market as crowded and fast moving as China’s, that may be exactly what it needs.

Wow finally some bold moves! More price points, EREV options, that could win families who hate range anxiety. Hope they nail quality tho

Is Xpeng biting off too much? A wave of SUVs and EREV variants sounds smart, but can they scale production, parts (CALB, Eve) and keep margins? If demand stalls...
