Xpeng Motors kicked
off the delivery of its Xpeng G3 2020 Edition EV at the Chengdu Motor Show on
Sept. 5th, less than two months after the launch of this new enhanced
high-performance version of its G3 SUV series.
The G3 2019 model
is already China’s most popular EV by the number of sales as well as vehicles
insured of an individual model from a new maker for January-July 2019,
according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
The G3 2020 model
has an extended 520 km NEDC range, giving it the longest range of any compact
EV SUV in its class. The new model is powered by a new-generation lithium-ion
CATL battery with an energy density of 180 Wh/kg, a breakthrough for China’s
new EV brands. Its battery pack achieves IP68 waterproof & dustproof
rating, the highest by global industry standards. The Xpeng G3 2020 Edition
carries a newly upgraded version of XPILOT 2.5, Xpeng’s in-house auto OS
specially developed for Chinese road conditions, with new features including
TJA (Traffic Congestion Assist) and ICA (Intelligent Cruise Assist), enabling
it to perform LCC (Lane Centering Control) functions under both urban driving
and highway conditions.
The G3’s
performance is continuously improved through over-the-air (OTA) upgrades. Its
ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) function has accumulated 2,627,589 km of
independent driving, while 40 new features have been added and over 200
functions optimized since its launch.
Also on show at the
Chengdu Motor Show is the Xpeng P7, the advanced four-door coupe model. This
design brings premium styling, superior driver-vehicle interaction and advanced
L3 autonomous driving features to complement its performance, with 600+ km NEDC
range.
Through Xpeng’s
extensive direct and authorized sales and service network, the G3 SUV has been
sold to over 200 Chinese cities, with over 120 Xpeng retail presences to be
completed by the end of 2019 across 60 cities. The P7 coupe is scheduled for
delivery through this network from the spring of 2020 on.
