We are in Munich, Germany, at the invitation of Xpeng Global, where the company has unveiled the new Xpeng L03 at its “Xpeng Live: Physical AI for All” Brand Day and new product launch event.
The L03 made its debut across 65 markets, and Xpeng has confirmed to The Piston Show that the model is planned for Malaysia. Local launch timing, pricing and Malaysia specifications have yet to be announced.
Its introduction in Malaysia may still take some time as regulatory environment for fully imported EVs have seen a change, while Bermaz Xpeng has only just opened bookings for the locally assembled Xpeng G6 CKD. The G6 CKD is assembled at EP Manufacturing Berhad’s facility in Melaka, with deliveries scheduled to begin in August 2026.
The L03 is positioned as a Next-Gen AI SUV Coupe and sits below the G6 in size and global pricing. It measures 4,650 mm long, 1,890 to 1,930 mm wide and 1,600 mm tall, with a 2,850 mm wheelbase.
For comparison, the G6 currently sold in Malaysia measures 4,758 mm long, 1,920 mm wide and 1,650 mm tall, with a 2,890 mm wheelbase. This makes the L03 108 mm shorter, 50 mm lower and gives it a 40 mm shorter wheelbase than the G6. Its width is broadly similar, depending on configuration.
Overseas, the L03 is also positioned below the G6 in pricing. In Germany, the L03 has been reported from EUR 35,600 for the BEV version and EUR 38,600 for the REEV version. For context, the Xpeng G6 starts from EUR 43,600 in Germany.

The L03 was developed under the leadership of former Ferrari exterior design chief JuanMa Lopez. It uses Xpeng’s “Vital Flow” design language, with a wide-body stance, coupe-SUV proportions, a fastback silhouette, frameless doors, frameless exterior mirrors and integrated semi-concealed door handles.
Xpeng says the L03 has a drag coefficient of 0.228, which extends driving range by up to 47.5 km compared to earlier design iterations.
The L03 will be offered globally in both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and range-extender electric vehicle (REEV) versions. In Europe, five variants are offered, consisting of four BEV variants and one REEV variant.
For the BEV line-up, the RWD Standard Range uses a rear motor rated at 180 kW, or around 245 PS, paired with a 58.3 kWh LFP battery for up to 445 km of WLTP range. The RWD Long Range keeps the same rear motor but gets a larger 71.2 kWh LFP battery, increasing WLTP range to 520 km.
The AWD Performance variants use dual motors with a combined output of 285 kW, or around 387 PS, paired with the same 71.2 kWh LFP battery. WLTP range for the AWD version is listed at 440 km.
The REEV version, known as the L03 Power X, uses a 37.25 kWh LFP battery, a 1.5-litre petrol engine acting as a generator, and a rear electric motor rated at 180 kW. For Europe, it offers up to 215 km of electric-only range and up to 1,017 km of combined range. The REEV version is expected to arrive in Europe later.
Xpeng claims 10-80% charging takes around 20 minutes for the BEV versions. The L03 also supports up to 1,500 kg of towing capacity and 6 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.
Inside, the L03 gets a 15.6-inch central display, W-HUD, 256-colour ambient lighting with motion effects, AI climate control with adaptive airflow and full-scenario voice control. The front seats come with ventilation, heating, four-way power lumbar support and 14-point full-body massage. At the rear, the seats feature five-level electric adjustment, adjustable backrests and a through-type armrest.
The 40:20:40 split-folding rear bench is designed to accommodate larger items such as golf bags, ski boards and other gear. Xpeng also lists 37 storage spaces, a 539-litre rear cargo hold, a front trunk measuring 102 litres for RWD EV variants or 69 litres for AWD variants, and a 10-litre pull-out rear drawer.
The event slides also listed a 20-speaker audio system with a 7.1.4 setup, intelligent sound balancing and headrest speakers. Xpeng also highlighted ENC + RNC active noise cancellation, claiming a 10 dB reduction in core low-frequency noise and a 50% reduction in road noise, although vehicle trim availability may vary by market.
The L03 also features eight flush magnetic attachment points, five 1/4-inch threaded mounts and front passenger expansion docks. It supports roof racks and an optional market-specific tow hook.
On the technology side, the L03 debuts the global version of Xpeng’s XOS 6 intelligent cockpit platform. The system includes a new AI voice assistant designed to support natural conversations, contextual understanding and multilingual interaction.
The L03 also gets Xpeng’s latest NGP system, known as VLA 2.0, which is designed to support advanced driver assistance in complex real-world driving environments. Xpeng has also linked the same Physical AI development path to future autonomous mobility and Robotaxi applications, although availability and capability will depend on market regulations. The system is powered by three Xpeng Turing AI chips, delivering up to 2,250 TOPS of computing power.
At the Munich event, Xpeng also announced a partnership with Google Maps for vehicles outside China. The company says it is the first automaker from Asia-Pacific to ship a vehicle with Google Maps Auto SDK integration, allowing Xpeng to build its own in-car navigation experience using Google Maps technology without relying on smartphone mirroring.
Global L03 users will be the first in Xpeng’s line-up to receive this upgraded navigation experience.
Safety features listed for the L03 include a Driver Monitoring System, child presence detection and a blowout stability control system capable of operating at up to 180 km/h on dual-motor AWD variants.
