XPeng has launched its affordable L03 SUV coupe in Europe from €35,600, offering up to 520 km of range, a 1,000 km range-extender option, and pricing below the Tesla Model Y.
Chinese EV maker XPeng has launched its new L03 SUV coupe in Europe, unveiling the model at a Global Brand Event in Munich in front of nearly 2,000 guests. Priced from €35,600 in Germany, the L03 is XPeng’s most affordable model yet and its first vehicle designed with a genuinely global, Europe-first focus.

A Sharp Price Aimed Squarely at Tesla
The L03 undercuts the entry-level Tesla Model Y in Germany, where XPeng’s newcomer starts a few thousand euros below Tesla’s cheapest configuration. Across Europe, pricing for the fully electric version opens even lower in some markets — around €34,990 in France and Belgium — while it rises slightly in Austria and the Netherlands. XPeng says the L03 will be available in 65 markets, calling it the brand’s biggest simultaneous global launch to date, with customer deliveries beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Battery, Range and Charging
Two core battery-electric trims lead the range: a Standard Range rear-wheel-drive version with a 58.3-kWh LFP battery good for around 445 km of WLTP range, and a Long Range version with a larger 71.2-kWh pack rated at up to 520 km. A dual-motor AWD Performance variant adds a combined 285 kW (roughly 382 hp) for stronger acceleration. Despite using a conventional 400-volt architecture, the L03 can charge at up to 236 kW, allowing a 10-80% top-up in about 20 minutes.
Range-Extender Option for Charging-Anxious Buyers
Later this year, XPeng will add a range-extender (REEV) version called the L03 Power X, priced from €38,600 in Germany. It pairs a 37.25-kWh battery with a small 1.5-litre petrol engine that works purely as a generator rather than driving the wheels directly. XPeng says the setup delivers more than 200 km of pure-electric range and a combined total range approaching 1,000 km, addressing concerns from European buyers who are wary of relying solely on charging infrastructure.
Design and Technology
Styled by former Ferrari exterior design chief Juanma Lopez, the L03 measures 4.65 metres long with a coupe-like roofline and a drag coefficient of 0.228, making it one of the more aerodynamic vehicles in its class. Inside, the cabin gets a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, a head-up display, and XPeng’s Turing AI chips powering its NGP driver-assistance suite. The top Ultra trim adds XPeng’s newer VLA 2.0 intelligent-driving software, though full autonomous features are still awaiting European regulatory approval.

What It Means for the European EV Market
The L03’s launch adds fresh pressure to an already crowded segment of affordable European EVs, going up against the Tesla Model Y, Škoda Elroq and other Chinese entrants like the Leapmotor B03X. With aggressive pricing, a genuine range-extender option, and premium tech usually reserved for pricier cars, XPeng is positioning the L03 as a value-focused challenger rather than a budget afterthought — a strategy that could accelerate Chinese automakers’ push into Europe’s mainstream EV segment.
