XPENG launches the 2026 MONA M03 in China from 119,800 yuan

XPENG presented the 2026 MONA M03 on April 2, 2026 as a broader reset of the car's market pitch, not just a cosmetic tidy-up. The official launch article lists six versions: 540 Long Range Plus, 640 Ultra Long Range Plus, 510 Long Range Max, 610 Ultra Long Range Max, 510 Long Range Ultra SE and 610 Ultra Long Range Ultra SE. Pricing starts at 119,800 yuan and rises to 151,800 yuan.

There is one detail worth noting immediately. XPENG's live official configuration table currently shows four on-sale trims rather than all six launch trims. That suggests the Plus and Max versions are the clearest reference point on the site today, while the Ultra SE story is still being framed mainly through the launch communication. For buyers, that distinction matters because it clarifies what can already be compared line by line on the official config page.

The launch copy is unusually explicit about what XPENG thinks younger buyers will notice first. The company added Roland Purple and Avocado Green, says clear-coat thickness is up 20% against the industry average, and claims gloss is up 8%. XPENG also calls out black piano-finish sport trim, a wind-blade rear bumper and fresh wheel designs rather than treating those as minor brochure details.

That exterior pitch is backed by practical packaging. The official configuration page lists dimensions of 4,785 mm long, 1,896 mm wide and 1,445 mm tall, with a 2,815 mm wheelbase. XPENG also claims more than 600 liters of trunk space and more than 1,600 liters with the second row folded, which gives the M03 a stronger daily-use case than many style-led compact EV sedans.

The 2026 MONA M03's strongest upgrade story may be inside. XPENG says the cabin now uses more soft-touch trim, UV-finish panel surfaces and metal-etched speaker grilles with a 10% higher perforation rate. The official launch page also leans into lifestyle hardware: a large vanity mirror with adjustable color temperature and brightness, a heated steering wheel, extra storage spaces and a 50 W air-cooled wireless charger.

Comfort hardware climbs higher than the price tag might suggest. XPENG says the front seats gain 14-point massage, the front doors get double laminated acoustic glass, RNC active noise reduction is available, and the optional 20-speaker audio package brings a 7.1.4 layout with more than 1,000 W of amplification. That is a clear attempt to make the MONA M03 feel less like a budget commuter and more like a compact EV with real long-trip manners.

The official configuration page turns the M03 from a launch claim into a usable buying chart. Across the four trims already listed as on sale, battery sizes run from 51.8 to 62.2 kWh, and CLTC range spans 510 to 640 km. XPENG lists 26 minutes for a 30-80% DC charge on three trims, but the 610 Ultra Long Range Max stands out with a fastest 15-minute claim. The official product page adds another useful detail: only the 610 Max and 610 Ultra SE use the 3C battery setup that can add up to 265 km in 10 minutes.

The same pattern applies to assisted driving. Plus trims keep the simpler hardware setup, while Max trims step up to one Turing AI chip, 750 TOPS of effective compute and seven high-definition assisted-driving cameras. The launch article then goes a step further by positioning Ultra SE as the more ambitious hardware story, with dual Turing chips, 1,500 TOPS and XPENG's second-generation VLA. That gives the 2026 MONA M03 a much clearer tech hierarchy than before.
