XPENG Philippines has announced local prices for the X9 electric MPV and L03 electric SUV coupe ahead of their formal debut on 25 September at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
The X9 with the Second Row Premium Seat Package costs P4.058 million. The L03 EV RWD Long Range Ultra carries a P2.058-million price. Both are the top variants in their respective model lines.
XPENG requires P25,000 for the X9 and P10,000 for the L03. Customers who take delivery of either model will also receive P10,000 in electric vehicle charging credits and an XPENG First Circle gift set.
XPENG Philippines country manager Katoon Su said customers had asked for prices so they could settle their purchase plans before the launch. The early announcement gives buyers more time to compare the two vehicles and reserve their preferred model.
The seven-seat X9 sits at the top of XPENG’s local range. Its second row has two Grand Zero-Gravity seats with 18-way electric adjustment. Each seat also has powered leg supports, heating and ventilation, memory settings and a 16-point massage function.
Other cabin equipment includes five-zone climate control, a hot and cold refrigerator, a 21.4-inch rear screen and a 27-speaker XOPERA audio system.
A 110-kilowatt-hour NCM battery gives the X9 a claimed range of up to 615 kilometers under the WLTP test cycle. Its 800-volt silicon carbide electrical system accepts peak DC charging of 542 kilowatts. XPENG says a compatible charger can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 12 minutes under ideal conditions.
The X9 measures more than 5.3 meters long, but its active rear-wheel steering cuts its minimum turning radius to 5.4 meters. Its powered third row folds into the floor. Cargo space rises from 721 liters with all seats in use to 2,554 liters when the last row is stowed.
XPENG Philippines announces prices for the X9 electric MPV and L03 electric SUV coupe ahead of their 25 September launch, with reservations now open for both models.The more compact L03 uses a rear-wheel-drive system and a lithium iron phosphate battery. It offers a claimed WLTP range of up to 480 kilometers. Its 400-volt charging system can raise the battery level from 10 to 80 percent in about 20 minutes under ideal conditions.
A 102-liter front trunk supplements the 539-liter rear luggage compartment. The cabin also provides 37 storage spaces. Vehicle-to-load capability can supply 230-volt, 60-hertz power to compatible appliances and equipment.
Three XPENG AI Turing chips provide a combined 2,250 trillion operations per second. Two handle the vehicle’s driver assistance functions, and one runs the smart cabin. The L03 can detect parking spaces even without painted lines and carry out the driver’s selected parking maneuver.
Its XOS 6.0 system places Google Maps, voice commands and vehicle controls on a 15.6-inch central screen. A 26.8-inch head-up display projects information onto the windshield.
XPENG’s Philippine launch will also feature its IRON humanoid robot and ARIDGE Land Aircraft Carrier, a road vehicle with a detachable electric aircraft.
