XPeng L03 launch fuels record demand, global rollout

Overview

XPeng’s July 2026 launch of the L03 compact AI‑SUV in Munich introduced the model in 65 markets, positioning it as the brand’s European flagship. Designed by former Ferrari chief Juan Ma López, the fastback is offered as a BEV starting at €35,600 or a Power‑X REEV at €38,600, with 58.3 kWh or 71.2 kWh LFP batteries that deliver 445‑520 km WLTP range and 236 kW fast‑charging (20 %→80 % in ~18 min). Technical details highlighted a drag coefficient of 0.228, a 15.6‑inch central touchscreen and a panoramic head‑up display.

In China the launch sparked a record weekend: more than 20,000 reservations were placed within seven minutes and 46,859 within the first hour, the highest single‑day test‑drive count in XPeng’s history. The L03’s VLA 2.0 Level‑2++ driver‑assistance system, powered by in‑house Turing AI chips (750 TOPS), will begin European rollout in 2027, subject to regulator approval, with liability for any errors remaining with the driver.

The event also highlighted XPeng’s broader “Physical AI” agenda, featuring the humanoid robot Iron and the Aridge flying‑car concept, both slated for future mass production. Simultaneously, other Chinese brands entered Spain: Evo launched the seven‑seat Spazio minivan, and the L03 became available there, underscoring a growing Chinese presence in European showrooms.

First deliveries are scheduled for Q4 2026, with the Philippines among the next markets, while XPeng’s flagship X9 MPV began deliveries in New Zealand. European regulators’ pending approval of the autonomous‑driving suite adds a legal dimension that parallels Tesla’s recent consumer‑lawsuit challenges over autonomous‑driving claims.
