Unveiled at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, the lineup combines battery-electric and range-extended powertrains, with prices starting at ₱1.548 million and going up to ₱4.058 million.

XPENG Enters the Philippine EV Market With Six Variants
XPENG formally launched its Philippine operations on September 25, 2026, bringing two models and six variants to the country’s growing electric vehicle market.
The launch event took place at the SM Mall of Asia Arena and attracted around 3,000 guests, including dealers, banking partners, automotive executives, media representatives, and members of the public.
The event featured XPENG Vice President for Finance and Accounting James Wu, while Vincent Yambao, chief operating officer of XPENG Philippines, joined actress and television host Anne Curtis, who was introduced as the brand’s official Philippine ambassador.
The launch has established XPENG’s initial Philippine portfolio around two very different EV offerings: the compact and technology-focused L03 AI SUV coupé and the larger, luxury-oriented X9 seven-seat electric MPV.
XPENG Philippines Price and Variant Breakdown
The new range covers both conventional battery-electric vehicles and a range-extended electric vehicle, giving customers different options based on their driving and charging requirements.
| Model | Powertrain | Battery | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| XPENG L03 EV Standard Range | BEV | 58.3 kWh | ₱1,548,000 |
| XPENG L03 REEV | Range-Extended EV | 37.2 kWh | ₱1,598,000 |
| XPENG L03 EV Long Range | BEV | 71.1 kWh | ₱1,698,000 |

XPENG L03: Four Variants Target the Premium EV Segment
The L03 forms the entry point into XPENG’s Philippine lineup. It is positioned as an AI-focused SUV coupé and comes in three fully electric versions alongside one range-extended variant.
L03 EV Standard Range
The entry-level L03 EV Standard Range is priced at ₱1,548,000.
It uses a 58.3 kWh battery pack and has a claimed WLTP range of up to 445 km. The model features rear-wheel drive and a 15.6-inch central touchscreen.
L03 REEV
Priced at ₱1,598,000, the L03 REEV uses a 37.2 kWh battery and offers up to 215 km of pure electric driving.
Its key difference is the range-extender system. A gasoline engine acts as a generator rather than directly driving the wheels. This allows the L03 REEV to achieve a claimed combined WLTP range of up to 1,017 km.
This configuration gives buyers the ability to drive electrically while having a fuel-powered generator available to extend overall driving range.
L03 EV Long Range
The L03 EV Long Range costs ₱1,698,000 and uses a larger 71.1 kWh battery.
Its claimed range reaches 520 km, while the powertrain continues to use rear-wheel drive.
L03 EV RWD Long Range Ultra
At ₱2,058,000, the L03 EV RWD Long Range Ultra sits at the top of the L03 range.
It retains the 71.1 kWh battery, while adding upgraded equipment, more advanced driver-assistance technology, and enhanced cabin features.
Its claimed range is listed at up to 480 km for this Ultra version.
The model also gets a 400-volt, 3C charging system, which can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in around 20 minutes when connected to compatible DC fast-charging equipment.
L03 Packs AI Hardware and Connected Technology
Technology is one of the major highlights of the L03 lineup.
The Ultra variant features three XPENG AI Turing chips, with a combined claimed computing capacity of 2,250 TOPS (tera operations per second).
According to the specifications provided, two chips support intelligent-driving functions, while the third is dedicated to smart-cabin operations.
Other technology highlights include:
- XPENG XOS 6.0 operating system
- 15.6-inch 2.5K central display
- 26.8-inch head-up display
- Vehicle-to-load capability
- Advanced driver-assistance systems
- AI-powered vehicle functions
These features position the L03 as more than a conventional battery-electric vehicle, with XPENG emphasising software, computing, and intelligent mobility alongside its electric powertrain.
XPENG X9: Flagship Seven-Seat Electric MPV
The X9 is XPENG’s larger and more premium offering in the Philippines.
The seven-seat electric MPV starts at ₱3.858 million for the Long Range variant, while the version equipped with the Second Row Premium Seat Package costs ₱4.058 million.
Both versions use a 110-kWh battery.
The X9 Long Range delivers a claimed range of up to 615 km and uses a 235 kW electric motor.
Key XPENG X9 Highlights
- 110-kWh battery
- Up to 615 km claimed range
- 235-kW electric motor
- 800-volt silicon-carbide platform
- Up to 542 kW DC charging capability
- Dual-chamber air suspension
- Active rear-wheel steering
- Seven-seat configuration
- Powered third-row seating
- Premium second-row seating available
X9 Promises Ultra-Fast EV Charging
One of the X9’s headline technologies is its 800-volt silicon-carbide electrical architecture.
XPENG says the system can support DC charging at up to 542 kW. Under optimal conditions with suitable charging equipment, the battery can reportedly charge from 10% to 80% in around 12 minutes.
This fast-charging capability is particularly significant for a large electric MPV, where battery size and vehicle weight can otherwise make rapid charging more challenging.
Rear-Wheel Steering Makes the Large X9 Easier to Maneuver
Despite measuring more than 5.3 metres in length, the X9 incorporates active rear-wheel steering.
XPENG says this technology helps reduce the vehicle’s turning radius to approximately 5.4 metres, potentially making the large MPV easier to manoeuvre in tighter urban environments.
The X9 also features dual-chamber air suspension, adding to its premium positioning.
Another practical feature is the powered third row, which can fold beneath the floor to create additional flexibility for passengers and luggage.
X9 Premium Seats Bring First-Class Comfort
The top-spec X9 with the Second Row Premium Seat Package adds a more luxurious second-row experience.
The package includes two Grand Zero-Gravity second-row seats with:
- 18-way adjustment
- Powered leg supports
- Four-way headrests
- Seat heating
- Ventilation
- Memory function
- 16-point massage
The cabin also gets a five-zone climate-control system, refrigerator, 21.4-inch rear entertainment screen and a 27-speaker XOPERA sound system.
This makes the premium X9 variant particularly focused on rear-seat comfort and executive-style travel.
XPENG Philippines EV Launch Includes Strong Ownership Benefits
XPENG is also bundling ownership support with its new Philippine lineup.
Across the range, customers receive:
- 5-year vehicle warranty
- 8-year battery and electric motor warranty
- 5 years of free roadside assistance
However, maintenance and charging benefits vary by model.
XPENG X9 Ownership Package
X9 buyers receive:
- 5 years of free preventive maintenance service
- 5 years of roadside assistance
- 5-year vehicle warranty
- 8-year battery and electric motor warranty

XPENG L03 Ownership Package
L03 customers receive:
- 2 years of free preventive maintenance service
- 5-year vehicle warranty
- 8-year battery and motor warranty
- 5 years of roadside assistance
The charging equipment differs according to powertrain. L03 BEV models come with a 7-kW wall charger, while the L03 REEV comes with a 3.5-kW portable charger.
XPENG Begins Philippine Expansion With Four Initial Locations
