It supports 3C fast charging, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in 19.1 minutes.
The EREV version delivers a combined CLTC range of up to 1,330 km (~826 miles) and a pure electric range of 315 km (~196 miles), with WLTC combined fuel consumption of 5.16 liters per 100 km. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.8 seconds.

The Max variant features a single chip with 750 TOPS, while the Ultra SE variant uses dual chips and supports the full version of the second-generation VLA.
Designed by an international team led by former Ferrari exterior designer JuanMa Lopez, the Mona L03 adopts the Vital Flow design concept and achieves a drag coefficient as low as Cd 0.228.

Xpeng delivered 40,126 vehicles in June, a 15.93% increase year-on-year, marking its highest monthly total so far in 2026 and ending five consecutive months of year-on-year declines.
The Mona M03 sedan delivered 175,689 units in 2025, accounting for 40.91% of Xpeng’s full-year deliveries. However, in the first half of this year, cumulative deliveries of the Mona M03 fell 27.63% year-on-year to 62,488 units.

This launch could help Xpeng sustain its recent sales rebound and establish a stronger presence in the global EV market.
