Xpeng Motors has dropped a teaser previewing its
latest model that’s set to premiere at the Shanghai Auto Show next month. Xpeng first came across our radar
with the release of the G3 SUV last year. Since then, the Chinese electric car
manufacturer has been developing a new four-door sedan which it dubs a “mass
production model.” The vehicle, codenamed E28, has been pencilled in for a
commercial launch at the end of 2019.
Limited details about its electric powertrain have
been provided, but Xpeng claims that the E28 will come equipped with Nvidia’s
AI supercompeting platform which supports Level 3 autonomous driving features.
The E28 is also set to have an impressive driving range as well as decent
levels of performance.
Visually, the single teaser image of the vehicle
provided and the various shots of E28 prototypes reveal that the sedan will
have a sleek design with a short front overhang, frameless doors, concealed
door handles, and a panoramic sunroof. There’s also a very short rear decklid
and a small lip spoiler on the trunk.
Xpeng will confirm more details regarding the
vehicle in the coming weeks leading up to the Shanghai Auto Show.
