What’s Next for XPeng?
The company plans to unveil a redesigned P7 electric sedan in Q3. Although the X9 MPV caters to a niche, it has topped the multi-purpose vehicle segment for the majority of its sales period. The upcoming Ultra Range version is expected to boost market performance. By the end of 2025, XPeng aims to move from a stabilization phase into one of sustained growth.
Will the MONA M03 Be Sold Globally?
While details about specific models are under wraps, XPeng confirmed that the MONA series was developed with international markets in mind. The company plans a selective, strategic rollout. Globalization requires strong local partnerships, dependable infrastructure, and a focus on product quality. XPeng favors deliberate progress over rushed expansion.
Is EV Market Competition Becoming More Intense?
The electric vehicle industry hasn’t hit peak competition yet — XPeng anticipates the next 5 to 10 years will bring even fiercer rivalries. Rather than engaging in a price war, the brand prefers to focus on technological innovation, AI integration, and expansion into overseas markets.
How Does XPeng Approach Computing Power for Autonomous Features?
Processing performance is a core focus. Although 500 TOPS supports advanced L2 features, next-generation autonomous driving will require even higher compute capabilities. However, XPeng emphasizes that software capabilities and over-the-air (OTA) updates will be even more crucial in the long term.
Why Was the MONA M03 Max Launch Delayed?
The company delayed the release to deliver the complete XPeng AI driving experience, which involved substantial optimization across power architecture, hardware-software tuning, and system integration.
Is MONA a Separate Brand?
No, XPeng maintains a unified brand identity. MONA is positioned as a distinct category within XPeng’s product range, with a different pricing tier. The company remains committed to a platform-based software ecosystem aligned with where the industry is heading.
Is the Decline in Hype Around Autonomous Driving a Concern?
XPeng views this as a positive development. Slower adoption provides room to focus on quality assurance. This shift is seen not as regression, but as a stabilizing phase.
Does Human-Machine Co-Driving Count as Level 3?
XPeng holds strict criteria for Level 3 autonomy. Present co-driving systems don’t fully qualify under XPeng’s standards. The company plans to release detailed technical explanations about future hardware and software capabilities.
How Are Co-Driving Boundaries Defined?
The system prompts the driver through voice and visual indicators. Actions such as steering or braking deactivate the assist function. XPeng continues to refine this using real-world driving data.
Is There Still Room for a Software Business Model?
Absolutely. As expectations increase, so does the value of vehicle software. The industry has evolved from “good enough” solutions to aiming for best-in-class driver assistance features and experiences.
Will Smart Driving Become a Premium Feature?
Eventually, AI software and smart systems may represent half of a vehicle’s total value. When XPeng's in-house chips go into production, pricing models will adapt, enabling users to pay for what they truly need.
How Does XPeng Keep Prices Competitive Without Losing Profit?
XPeng is not racing to the bottom on pricing. The X9, for example, competes on product merit rather than discounts. With more than 10 billion RMB invested in R&D, XPeng’s core focus remains on technology leadership and efficiency.
Will MONA Use XPeng’s Proprietary Chips?
There will be multiple chip architectures in use. Even if hardware overlaps, software differentiation will ensure that the user experience remains unique. Hardware parity doesn’t imply a uniform software stack.
