Xpeng has filed its new flagship sport utility vehicle, the GX, with Chinese regulators, clearing a key step toward market launch in the coming months as the company expands its high-end product lineup.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on Friday released its latest catalogue of vehicle models open for public comment prior to sales approval, with the Xpeng GX included. The public consultation period runs from Feb. 7 to Feb. 13, after which the model can receive final clearance for sale in China.
The GX appears across six pages in the MIIT catalogue, covering six variants produced at Xpeng’s Guangzhou plant. These include three extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) versions and three battery-electric vehicle (BEV) variants, underscoring Xpeng’s strategy of offering multiple powertrain options for its flagship SUV.
The six-seat GX measures 5,265 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width and 1,800 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,115 mm, placing it firmly in the full-size SUV segment.
The EREV versions have curb weights of 2,840 kg or 2,890 kg and a top speed of 200 km/h. They are equipped with a 1.5-litre engine supplied by Harbin Dongan Auto Engine acting as a range extender, delivering a maximum output of 110 kW. The EREV models feature dual electric motors, with peak outputs of 210 kW at the front and 160 kW at the rear, and use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries supplied by CALB.
The BEV variants have curb weights ranging from 2,690 kg to 2,820 kg and also carry a top speed of 200 km/h. They are offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The rear-drive version features a 270 kW motor, while the all-wheel-drive variant adds a 160 kW front motor. Battery options include both LFP and ternary lithium cells, also supplied by CALB.
Xpeng previewed the model earlier this week under its internal codename G01. Founder, chairman and chief executive He Xiaopeng said the GX would be officially launched within months.
Local media have reported that Xpeng is testing Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities on the GX. According to Cailian, the SUV will be equipped with four of Xpeng’s in-house developed Turing AI chips, providing a combined computing power of about 3,000 trillion operations per second (TOPS), a configuration designed to support advanced autonomous functions.
The GX filing comes as Xpeng continues to scale up deliveries. The company sold 429,445 vehicles in 2025, up 125.9% year on year, achieving its target of doubling annual deliveries. Xpeng has said it aims to deliver between 550,000 and 600,000 vehicles this year, though January deliveries fell sharply amid broader industry weakness.
