On February 5, He Xiaopeng, Chairman of XPeng Inc., announced via a Weibo post that XPeng is about to launch its first flagship large six-seater SUV, named the XPeng GX.
Regarding the rationale behind developing another large six-seater SUV, He Xiaopeng explained that the current market presents an "impossible trinity" for three-row SUVs, where comfort, space, and handling cannot be simultaneously optimized, forcing many families to make compromises before every trip.
"We do not wish to repeat or compromise; therefore, today we are introducing an all-new tech flagship," he stated.
The following is the full text of the Weibo post: XPeng is about to welcome its first flagship large six-seater SUV, which we have named: the XPeng GX.
Some have asked me: Why is XPeng building another large six-seater SUV?
After extensive research with real users, we learned that the third row is often uncomfortable for long periods; when the car is fully occupied with family, there's no room for luggage; and the driving experience is cumbersome and unenjoyable. This is the current market's impossible trinity for three-row SUVs—comfort, space, and handling cannot be achieved together—forcing many families to compromise before each journey.
We do not wish to repeat or compromise, so today, we are introducing an all-new tech flagship.
Its internal development code is G01. The "1" signifies our approach starting from "first principles," using comprehensive AI thinking to completely redesign a full-size family flagship SUV. As it prepares to enter households everywhere, it receives a new name: the XPeng GX.
The "X" represents the exploration (eXploration) of the beautiful unknowns of mobility, and further embodies the technological DNA (X-tech) inherent in XPeng—the commitment to solving problems fundamentally through technology.
The XPeng GX is built on the all-new SEPA 3.0 physical AI vehicle architecture. Through systemic innovation across all domains, it leads a generation ahead in integration, intelligence, handling, and safety philosophy. Simultaneously, we have fully integrated the highly praised "comfortable large space" and "agile, enjoyable drive" genes from the XPeng X9 into the GX.
This enables the XPeng GX to resolve the conflict between space and comfort in three-row SUVs, achieving "every seat is the best seat, every row can recline fully." Furthermore, even when seating six people, it still provides a genuinely practical and超大后备箱.
The XPeng GX also shatters the conventional notion that "large vehicles are difficult to drive." Leveraging an AI chassis equipped with steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering, its agility and stability far surpass those of traditional large vehicles. Whether for city commuting or family road trips, it delivers an effortless, confident, and enjoyable driving experience.
This is the XPeng GX, an AI-driven new luxury large six-seater SUV flagship.
Its mission is to utilize AI technology to create a truly luxurious, comfortable, futuristic, extremely safe, and carefree mobile space for the entire family, ensuring that every journey becomes a cherished memory.
We look forward to the day, a few months from now, when you can take your family, drive the XPeng GX, and go see the distant scenery.
