**On April 8, Xpeng Motors officially began the (pre-launch campaign) for its all-new flagship SUV — the Xpeng GX.** The company has successively released exterior images of two striking color options: "Fjord Gray" and "Sunshine on the Golden Mountain." This model is not only hailed as Xpeng's "masterpiece of technology" in the era of physical AI but is also internally defined as a strategic product that "cannot afford to fail."
Positioned as an "AI-driven new luxury flagship SUV with six seats," the GX is both a super intelligent agent and is expected to "redefine the height of tech flagships for the next era."

### **Integration of Three Cutting-Edge Technologies: Robotaxi Autonomous Driving + Flying Car Safety + Embodied AI Architecture**
He Xiaopeng emphasized: *"We have integrated all of Xpeng's industry-leading technologies into this one vehicle."* Specifically, the GX incorporates three core technologies:
- Autonomous driving technology derived from Robotaxi
- Safety redundancy technology at the level of flying cars
- Embodied AI chip and architecture technology
This means the GX is not a traditional flagship SUV, but rather a future-oriented mobile intelligent agent built on the logic of physical AI.
### **Exterior: Boxer Shape Resembles the Range Rover, Full of Luxury**
From the official images, the GX adopts a clean, boxy design language with a strong sense of presence. The full-width LED light bar at the front echoes the through-type taillights at the rear, while the overall silhouette bears a resemblance to the Range Rover.
The 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 in the full-size American SUV category. A yacht-inspired streamlined shape, floating roof, hidden drip rails, and large flat side windows further accentuate its luxurious character.
### **Color Highlights: Fjord Gray & Sunshine on the Golden Mountain — 50% Harder Paint Finish**
"Fjord Gray" and "Sunshine on the Golden Mountain" are the signature colors of the GX. The latter is inspired by Kawagebo Peak in Meili Snow Mountain and uses BASF matte clear coat with a ceramic-grade nano coating, increasing paint hardness by 50% and improving scratch resistance.
Notably, the GX also debuts a space-grade ceramic 24K gold badge, crafted using the same polishing process as Rolls-Royce. Complemented by 22-inch ultra-large wheels with a floating center cap (the logo remains upright while driving), the attention to detail is exceptional.
### **Space: Six Seats, All in C-Position — No More Compromise in the Third Row**
As a full-size six-seat SUV, the GX features a 2+2+2 seating layout. The company emphasizes that "every seat is a C-position seat, and every row can recline to flat." Thanks to its 3,115 mm wheelbase and boxy shape, adults can sit comfortably in the third row, and the trunk remains spacious even with all seats occupied.
### **Autonomous Driving System: 4 Turing Chips — 3000 TOPS, the Highest in Production Vehicles**
The GX is equipped with four self-developed Turing AI chips, delivering a local effective computing power of 3,000 TOPS — the highest of any production vehicle globally. For comparison:
- MONA M03 Max: 1 Turing chip, 750 TOPS
- G6/G9 flagship: 2 Turing chips, 1,500 TOPS
- GX: 4 Turing chips, 3,000 TOPS
More importantly, the GX's autonomous driving technology is directly derived from Xpeng's Robotaxi program, using the second-generation VLA model to achieve end-to-end direct "vision-to-action" connection with a response latency of under 80 ms. The Robotaxi version has already obtained L4 public road testing permits in Guangzhou and is undergoing regular road testing.
This means the GX is already equipped with L4 autonomous driving capability in terms of hardware — a feat unmatched in today's mass-produced vehicle market.
### **Chassis Revolution: Steer-by-Wire + Active Rear-Wheel Steering**
The GX is the world's first production vehicle to feature Bosch's next-generation steer-by-wire system, eliminating the mechanical intermediate shaft between the steering wheel and the steering gear. Combined with active rear-wheel steering, this brings two key advantages:
- **More agile handling:** A turning radius of just 5.1 meters for a 5.265-meter-long vehicle — comparable to a compact sedan
- **Increased front cabin space:** Approximately 20% more space freed up for additional intelligent hardware or improved crash safety
Coupled with dual-chamber air suspension and CDC variable damping shock absorbers, the GX's chassis configuration has few rivals in its class.
### **Dual Powertrain Options: Pure Electric + Extended Range — Efficiency Meets Long-Distance Capability**
- **Pure electric version:** 800V architecture, 430 kW dual motors, 5C ultra-fast charging, 500 km of range replenished in 15 minutes
- **Extended-range version:** 1.5T range extender, 320 km electric range, over 1,200 km combined range
The official price has not yet been announced, but netizens generally estimate it to be between RMB 300,000 and 450,000. If the final pricing falls within this range, the GX will likely deliver "a million-yuan configuration experience at a 500,000-yuan price point," posing a strong challenge to the existing high-end new energy SUV market.
### **Conclusion**
The GX is not just a flagship SUV — it is the intersection of Xpeng's three frontier areas: Robotaxi, steer-by-wire, and physical AI. The fusion of traditional luxury and technological fashion has reached a new height in this vehicle.
