This is the XPeng Identity X, the production version of
the XPeng Beta. The Identity X is an
electric crossover, it will be launched on the Chinese market in Q4,
priced to compete head on with the upcoming Tesla Model 3.
We know for sure it will get a 190 hp electric motor,
and that it’s size is 4470/1818/1600 mm, with a wheelbase is 2610 mm. Range of the
production car hasn’t been announced yet. When the Beta concept was launched the company
claimed a range of 300 kilometer. The company’s website lists a 0-100 km/h time of
7.9 seconds in 2WD mode and 5.8 seconds in 4WD mode.
XPeng is a brand of Xiaopeng Motor, based in
Guangzhou. was founded only two years ago, and it is therefore impressive that
they have their car ready. But not all is as it seems. XPeng doesn’t have it’s
own production base. Production is instead outsourced to Haima Auto, a small manufacturer based on sunny Hainan island
and owned by First Auto Works.
There are no photos yet of the interior of the
production car but it will closely resemble the interior of the Beta, with a
12.3 inch digital instrument panel and a giant 15.6 inch touch screen.
The XPeng Identity X will get active cruise control,
automatic parking, and a “summon function” similar to what the BMW 7-Series
has. Impressive tech for a tiny company but not
at all close to the levels of autonomy the Tesla Model 3 will have.
