The Xpeng GX offers six seats with a 2+2+2 layout. It has a split tailgate, just like the Range Rover. The car’s curb weight lies between 2,690 and 2,890 kg. The full weight is 3,240 – 3,405 kg.
Powertrain variants and tech
The Xpeng GX adopts two powertrain variants. The entry-level electric variant of this SUV adopts a single TZ230XY01G01X electric motor for 270 kW (362 hp) manufactured by Luxshare. It is powered by a CALB-made LFP battery. Its capacity has yet to be revealed. The Xpeng GX EV RWD has a top speed of 200 km/h.
The AWD variant of the electric Xpeng GX adopts the additional YS230XY01G01E Xpeng-made e-motor in the front, producing 160 kW (215 hp). The combined peak power output of this version is 430 kW (577 hp). Electric motors are powered by a ternary NMC pack from CALB. The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology didn’t reveal its capacity. The top speed also reaches 200 km/h
The EREV variant of the Xpeng GX comes standard with the 1.5-liter DAM15NTE turbocharged petrol-powered four-cylinder manufactured by Dongan Powertrain, a subsidiary of Changan Automobile. Its power output is 110 kW (148 hp). However, this ICE doesn’t transfer any torque to the wheels. Instead, it sends power to a battery and electric motors.
The Xpeng GX EREV is available with dual-motor AWD only. Its electric motor in the front has a peak power output of 160 kW, while a rear e-motor produces 210 kW (282 hp). The combined peak power of the system is 370 kW (496 hp). A CALB-made LFP battery for 63.3 kWh powers the system, providing 320 km of electric range under unknown conditions. The top speed of the GX EREV is 200 km/h.
Xpeng officials previously shared that the GX EREV crossover will be equipped with four Turing AI chips with a total computing power surpassing 3,000 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second). Xpeng says this car is capable of L4 autonomous driving. The Xpeng GX will enter the market this year with a price range of 400,000 – 500,000 yuan (57,650 – 72,070 USD).
