Xpeng (小鹏汽车, XPeng Inc.) is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou. It is one of the country’s larger EV start-ups and has built its identity around in-house development of autonomous-driving software, processing chips, and electric powertrains rather than buying these systems from suppliers.
The company’s range covers most mainstream segments: the P-series sedans, the G-series SUVs, the X9 MPV, and more recently a push into extended-range powertrains alongside its battery-electric core. Models are built on Xpeng’s SEPA (Smart Electric Platform Architecture), now in its 3.0 generation with an 800V electrical system.
The GX is the brand’s flagship SUV - a six-seat, full-size model that, unusually, is offered in both battery-electric and extended-range forms on the same platform. Its launch drew exceptional demand in China, with tens of thousands of paid orders booked within hours of going on sale.
