The Xpeng Mona L05 costs at least 169,800 yuan. Its BEV and EREV versions aim for monthly production of 60,000 vehicles.
Xpeng began pre-sales of the Mona L05 model in China on October 15, 2026, with an official launch scheduled for October 29. The large five-seater SUV starts at 169,800 yuan, approximately $25,250, and is available as an electric vehicle as well as an EREV with a combustion engine acting as a generator.

The Mona L05 is intended to help the manufacturer achieve its ambitious year-end targets. Xpeng aims to deliver over 60,000 vehicles per month in the fourth quarter, although it delivered 41,256 cars to customers in September.
Five trims, but the starting price is the same
The lineup includes three electric variants and two EREV models. Interestingly, the base model with a generator is not more expensive than the cheapest electric version. Both are priced at 169,800 yuan during pre-sales.

Purchasers who pay a 1,000 yuan deposit are entitled to a 3,000 yuan discount on purchase. Prototype vehicles are already arriving at Chinese dealerships, while the final pricing will be revealed during the launch on October 29.
The L05 is not a small SUV. It has a length of 4,870 mm, a width of 1,930 mm, and a height of 1,636 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,940 mm. Compared to the Mona L03, the new model is 220 mm longer and has a 90 mm larger wheelbase.
The trunk has a capacity of 702 liters, and this figure increases to 1913 liters when the seats are folded down. There is also an additional storage compartment in the front with a capacity of 102 liters. Xpeng has adopted frameless doors, active shutters on the front bumper, and a rear light bar featuring over 300 laser-etched LED lights.
Electric version with LFP battery or EREV variant with a range of 1310 km
Each version is equipped with a single engine that drives the rear wheels. The engine delivers 183 kW, equivalent to 245 horsepower. Adaptive DCC shock absorbers are standard, with MacPherson struts in the front and multi-link suspension at the rear.
The base electric 535 Max is equipped with an LFP battery with a capacity of 58.2 kWh and a claimed range of 535 km according to China’s CLTC testing procedure. The two 635 variants use a 71.1 kWh battery, which is said to provide a range of 635 km. CLTC is less stringent than Europe’s WLTP, so these figures should not be considered as the actual range on Polish roads.
However, another set of figures appears in the second description for the electric versions: 615, 635, 640, and 660 km. These do not match the listed five variants, which include three BEVs and two EREVs. The provided materials do not explain this discrepancy. The values of 535 and 635 km remain the most consistent with the names of the pre-order versions.
The EREV version combines the same electric power unit with a 37.2 kWh battery and a 1.5-liter gasoline engine producing 70 kW of power. The internal combustion engine is used to generate energy, while the vehicle still moves via electric propulsion. Xpeng claims an electric range of 310 km and a total range of 1,310 km after fully charging the battery and refueling. Both figures are based on CLTC standards.
Two driver assistance systems and a luxurious interior
The distinction between the Max and Ultra SE versions mainly relates to the computing power of the driver assistance systems. The Max version features a proprietary Turing AI processor with a claimed performance of 750 TOPS and supports a simplified second-generation VLA model. VLA stands for a system that integrates camera footage, voice commands, and decisions related to vehicle movement.
The Ultra SE uses two processors, with its claimed performance reaching 1500 TOPS. It also comes with the full version of the VLA model. The TOPS figures alone indicate the hardware’s potential, but they don’t allow assessment of how well the system performs on the road. Independent testing will be needed for that.
The cabin features a 17.3-inch central screen and a 26.8-inch transparent W-HUD display. The front seats offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions, while the passenger seat has a zero gravity mode. In the back, passengers can get heated seats, a table, a separate 17.3-inch screen, tinted windows, and a drawer that slides out from under the seat. The manufacturer has also provided 22 points for connecting accessories, such as sports cameras.
Mona L05 enters the market at a time when Xpeng’s performance is starting to improve, but it still doesn’t give the company a breather. In September, the manufacturer delivered 41,256 vehicles, 5.5 percent more than in August but 0.78 percent less than a year earlier. For the entire third quarter, it reached a record 118,390 vehicles, while nine months in show 284,367 units, indicating a 9.2 percent year-on-year decline.
The target of 60,000 vehicles per month is still nearly 19,000 units short. Xpeng hopes Mona L05 and G9L will help fill this gap. The starting price is competitive, the equipment is comprehensive, and the choice between BEV and EREV expands the customer base. Whether this combination will work will only be clear from deliveries in November and December.
