  Xpeng has indicated that a new large SUV has been confirmed to launch in Malaysia in the second half of this year, and will go on sale in either the third or fourth quarter of 2026. Could it be the Xpeng GX? Other possibilities are the Xpeng G9 which is due for the Australian market soon.

  Shown at Xpeng headquarters in Guangzhou ahead of the flagship SUV’s public showing at Auto China this week, we noted that production for right-hand-drive versions of the recently launched Xpeng GX is already underway, which puts the brand’s flagship electric SUV on a timeline ahead of the P7 as the right-hand-drive version of the fastback sedan is still in pre-production stages.

  Details uncovered earlier this month, according to Car News China reveal that the GX measures 5,265 mm long, 1,999 mm wide and 1,800 mm wide with a wheelbase of 3,115 mm.

  In China, the GX is offered in range-extender and battery-electric variants, the latter using an 800-volt electrical architecture capable of 5C charging, a 0-100 km/h time of around four seconds and up to 750 km of battery range, according to the report. Powertrain for the BEV version is a pair of 270 kW (367 PS) drive motors.

  

  The range extender version of the GX packs a 1.5 litre, turbocharged petrol engine that outputs 110 kW (150 PS), while front and rear electric drive motors offer a combined output of 210 kW (286 PS). This offers a pure electric range of 430 km on the CLTC cycle (around 353 km WLTP), and a CLTC combined, hybrid range of 1,585 km (1,300 km WLTP).

  Inside, the cabin of the GX houses a six-seater layout, with the second row getting the captain chair configuration and the third row is fitted with a two-seat bench. Infotainment is by a 17.3-inch, 3K resolution central screen, while a smaller, slim display for the driver is located ahead of the steering wheel.

  The second-row captain’s chairs are zero-gravity seats, with integrated seat belts and seat cushion airbags. Meanwhile, the seats in the third row feature 180-degree electrically adjustable backrests to allow for fully flat reclining.

  In China, orders for the Xpeng GX opened at 399,800 yuan (RM231,792) for both battery-electric and 1.5L turbo petrol range extender versions.

• Xpeng GX shown in first images – new flagship EV SUV with range extender, Range Rover-inspired design

  In Cars, Xpeng / By Gerard Lye / 6 February 2026 12:00 pm / 8 comments

  

  Xpeng took to Weibo to post the first images of its new flagship crossover called the GX, which you should definitely not confuse with a Range Rover. Expected to make its public debut at this year’s Auto Beijing in April, the GX will take on other full-size SUVs sold in China such as the Li Auto L9, Aito M9, Zeekr 9X and Denza N9.

  Viewed from the side, the GX bears a striking resemblance to the current-day Range Rover, although the Xpeng model sport design cues to avoid a “Spider-Man pointing meme.” For starters, the face of the GX appears to feature low-mounted lighting units, a full-width light bar and no traditional grille.

  The front doors also lack the decorative garnish seen on the Range Rover, while the rear gets a horizontal light bar instead of downturned U-shaped signature. Judging by the photos, the GX looks to be around 5.2 metres long, as suggested by CarNewsChina. We’re not sure if those retractable door handles will make the cut considering China’s decision to ban hidden door handles starting from January next year.

  

  

  Internally known by its codename G01, the GX will adopt Xpeng’s Kunpeng Super Electric System, which is a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) powertrain that is said to feature 5C charging technology and a hybrid range of over 1,000 km.

  The Weibo post also reveals the GX to be an “AI-powered” six-seater. As with many Chinese cars, the country’s ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT) will most likely publish specifications of the GX in due time.
