XPeng GX Begins Mass Deliveries With 24,863 Orders in 12 Hours
XPeng has commenced mass deliveries of its GX flagship SUV in June 2026, following a blockbuster launch on May 20 that saw 24,863 firm orders placed within the first 12 hours. The six-seat flagship, positioned as XPeng’s most technologically advanced vehicle, offers both pure electric (BEV) and extended-range (EREV) powertrains across eight trim levels, priced from 269,800 yuan ($39,900) to 349,800 yuan ($51,730).
Notably, the Ultra flagship trim accounts for over 80% of orders, signaling strong demand for XPeng’s highest-specification model. The GX launched as XPeng’s May deliveries reached 32,158 units across all models. CarNewsChina data confirms the GX is the brand’s first full-size SUV, measuring 5,265mm long with a 3,115mm wheelbase.
BEV and EREV: Dual Powertrain Strategy
The XPeng GX offers two distinct powertrain options designed to address different market needs. The BEV variant delivers up to 750 km CLTC range in AWD Ultra flagship specification, powered by a 430 kW dual-motor setup. The entry-level BEV Max trim offers 665 km range with a 270 kW rear motor.
The EREV variant targets buyers who need longer range without charging anxiety. With a 63.3 kWh LFP battery, the EREV achieves 320 km of pure electric range and a combined CLTC range of 1,585 km — a figure that puts it in direct competition with Li Auto’s EREV SUVs. Total system output reaches 370 kW with 695 Nm of torque. FreshMotors notes that the EREV version is positioned as the primary volume driver, given the dominance of EREV technology in China’s large SUV segment.
Intelligent Driving and Architecture
The GX is built on XPeng’s SEPA 3.0 platform and features dual Turing chips for its XNGP advanced driver assistance system. The vehicle incorporates technology derived from XPeng’s robotaxi program, including L4-capable autonomous driving hardware and safety redundancy systems borrowed from its flying car division. Steer-by-wire technology and an advanced air suspension system round out the chassis package.
XPeng positions the GX as the “new technology flagship” — a vehicle that redefines what a technology-first luxury SUV should be, rather than simply competing on traditional luxury metrics. The six-seat interior features a dual-screen cockpit layout with the latest version of XPeng’s AI-powered voice assistant and connected car ecosystem.
Why It Matters Globally
The XPeng GX represents a new class of Chinese flagship SUVs that combine EREV range capability with L4-ready hardware at price points significantly below Western competitors. With over 80% of orders going to the top Ultra trim, the market is clearly signaling appetite for fully-loaded technology vehicles — a trend that will shape competitive dynamics as Chinese brands expand internationally.
