A smaller number of “ready for Norway before shipment”
The family SUV L05 will receive its European launch in Brussels in January. However, Xpeng states that “a limited number of vehicles” will still be available for purchase before the tax change takes effect at the turn of the year.

Whether you are interested in electric vehicles or have only been following the new car market in the past six months, you’ve likely heard of Xpeng’s L03, which has gained significant attention for offering a high-tech vehicle at a relatively low price:
The rear-wheel-drive version of the car starts at 286,000 kroner, while the cheapest all-wheel-drive version begins at 366,000 kroner.
The top model, Ultra, which starts at 416,000 kroner, is set to be ready for 2++ level self-driving, meaning the car’s driver assistance systems should be able to handle driving largely on their own, even in complex traffic situations. Xpeng hopes to enable this in Europe by 2027, but it remains uncertain.
But now there’s the bigger brother—or sister, who knows—that’s worth focusing on: the L05.
A sort of Norwegian preview of the L05
The Xpeng L05 is the latest addition to a total of five new models Xpeng is introducing in Norway this year.
The spacious family SUV was recently unveiled in its home country of China, and the L05 is expected to be at least as technologically advanced as the L03.
It is equipped with the company’s self-developed Turing AI chip and the next generation of its Vision-Language-Action model, among other features.
The European version of the model is set to be launched at the auto show in Brussels in January, but today Xpeng Norway is announcing a sort of sneak launch, or pre-launch if you will, in Norway before the New Year.
The headline in the press release they issued today is that the model is “ready for Norway before tax changes,” and Xpeng states that “a limited number of vehicles will arrive in Norway already before the New Year.”
They also mention that pre-orders for the model “start on December 1,” and that “further details on the Norwegian offer will be released separately.”
Price? For now, completely a mystery...
Xpeng’s Norwegian branch isn’t revealing the price of this model for now, but they will need to be specific soon, anyway, as the car will be available for pre-order starting December 1.
Although L05 is positioned above L03 in Xpeng’s model lineup, it’s natural to assume it will have a high price tag.
Xpeng Norway, however, states that L05 will be showcased at “selected Xpeng dealerships through a roadshow,” which presumably means something...
We imagine an Xpeng agent L-005 performing some daring stunts that completely overshadow Agent 007, but maybe we’re overthinking it.
Perhaps “Xpeng agent” simply refers to a car dealer, and “roadshow” means a small test drive in the neighborhood...
Otherwise, it’s reported that complete information on Xpeng’s European model lineup, including the various variants and their specifications for different markets, will be presented at the auto show in Brussels in January.
