XPENG L03 a Europa per 35.600 euros: la guerra de preus xinesa puja de nivell

Ex-Paint are finally becoming a global car company. How? Well, with this, this is going to be launching in 63 markets this year. And they saw the success of the Mona Mo3 sedan in China said, we want to take that overseas in a big way. So if you're a GM of Stellantis or Ford sitting in your boardroom right now looking at the specs of this thing, you are going to be sweating bullets. Hang on a minute. You would be right for thinking, Ellie, you've said that in almost all of your X-Paint videos that these cars are going overseas. I said it with the original P7. I said it with the P5. I've said it with the P7 Plus. But none of them have really gone overseas in a big way. But this one they say is guaranteed to go overseas in 63 countries in one year. So let's see if that's you right this time. No, no, no, no. Coupé SUV. It's not print of an SUV but without the interior space.

Coupé styling but it's not a coupe. To have my least favorite personal combinations. But it's not for me. The mass market loves these. And X-Paint have done something very smart. They've taken the futuristic styling of the P7 which I love but can be a bit divisive and put it into this format and toned it down a little bit. This hasn't mass market appeal. Even though it's not for me, I think it looks very, very smart from the outside. X-Paint tell me that this car was designed by an X Ferrari designer. Have you seen what Ferrari had been designing recently? No, that's not something I'd be talking about. Let's gloss over that because I want to talk about the exterior of this car. Comes with 18 or 20-inch wheels. Comes in this lovely, verdant colour here. There are another three colours available. And I think there's a lot of tension in this roof line. As it flows down to the rear end with this very much looks like the Lotus Améa.

Even with the air vents. And those air vents are important because there's a 0.228 cd drag co-efficiency. So it means it's super slippery and gets 11.5 kWh per 100 km. I think efficiency is important. I like the X-Paint. I'm trying to e-cult as much as they can from this car. This has 23 aerodynamic optimisations across the car, including active arrow down here, the grill opens and closes, depending on what you're doing. Also, super slippery body to give you more efficiency. And at the end of the day, that's what we want from our electric cars. If we're charging our car, we want to get as many miles as possible from that. And like the X-Paint are taking up, it's a little bit more seriously. Now the front end styling looks like this, which looks a bit like a pole star, which looks a bit like everyone else. It looks a little bit like X-Paint. It's kind of a combination of many different things. But I think it stands out. It's inoffensive and most people are going to accept this as a design of a car.

I think overall, the proportions and the shape of the car are fantastic. It works really well. Maybe it's just this colour. Maybe it's just this lighting. Oh, and under here there's a front. Let's open that. And there's your front. There's not much to talk about. It's a big plastic box. It's got a drainage plug. We think it's around about 120, maybe a bit more than that. 150 litres of space in here. We don't have plenty of space in there. You can put food drinks, luggage, it's all that. But it doesn't electronically open. You have to open it with a pull button and it closes manually as well. Can't have everything for that price. This is the rear end of the LO3 and just for those of you who don't know, these blue lights are not police lights. These are self-driving modes. When a car goes into self-driving mode in China, they all have these blue lights. Obviously not legally in places like the UK. Anyway, they're there. That's what they're there for.

So the button here to open, the boot. Now we don't have the exact figure, but we do know it's around 600 litres of space. They've put some accessories in here. You can put trinkets or whatever you need. Full-slower with a little bit of space down there. And then again, your seat's fold flat here, probably to give over a thousand leases of space. This is all electronic, which makes it much much easier. One more thing to mention is the charging. Again, this is a 3C charger up to 220 kilowatts. I think that is more than enough. And at this predicted price point, that's kind of what the market demands. They don't need flash charging all the time. Or the capability to do that is for fairly rare use cases. But this is what 90% of people need most of the time. And to get out of that unbeatable price point, that's what they can offer. But honestly, I think if you got this car and you had that charging speed, you'd be happy enough.

Now we're on the interior of the L03. And this is probably my favourite space in here because X-Pen have been doing this for a number of years now. They kind of know what works in an interior. I've got a fairly simple steering wheel here. There's nothing in front. I mean, no screen here at all. The only screen is here. That's a 15.6 inch screen. Very fast, very responsive. We'll go into the computing power in just a moment. But instead, I've got a WHUD in front of me, which is equivalent of about 50 inches. It's very clear. And this is great for self-driving because it gives you kind of the view of the road. You can get it on screen as well. And it gives me my speed and my range and everything else. I like this kind of minimally-stinted here, but with some design features as well. So it's not super Spartan like a Tesla. It's a bit more grown up, a bit more refined and a bit more detailed than that.

Other than that, I've got my mode button, my self-driving button, two dials here. Pull up down lever for the driving modes and a windscreen mode over here. And there's some really nice materials in here. There's metal touch. There's kind of soft leather touch. And then they've taken this from Xiaomi. The accessory kind of stands either end so I can put on my phone or another accessory like a fan. And it gives it maximum functionality and versatility. This is a very premium interior, which is for what is going to be a not premium price point. We know that this is going to be under 200,000 RMB. The Mona is about 100,000 RMB. That's, I know, $15,000 US dollars. So this will be under $25,000. No problem at all. And for that, you get something really, really high quality. So when this car goes to those overseas markets, that's when those execs need to start sweating. I've just noticed that. The door handle instead of the electronic one is a simple pull-up handle.

There's no electronic door handle. It's just pull up. Very smart. I like that a lot. Don't over-complicate things with electronics when you don't need to. Often when we do car reviews, we never focus on this seat here. This seat has nothing. They don't have a screen. They have no functions, no nothing at all. But this has ventilation and massage functionality. And one press button to make it go to zero gravity mode. Finally, the passenger actually gets some benefits. That's really good. I wish I could lay back, but I've got an hour to do this today. And we are running out of time. It's quite comfortable. Now I want to show you the operating system in this. This is the TNG 6.0 OS. Honestly, at the moment, I'm just a little bit confused by all these different names and tech things. But essentially, the computer within this car, it has 2,250 tops of computing power. That is incredibly powerful for this computer. It's obviously for the self-driving system. Now on the overseas version, Chinese version, they're different.

The overseas version will come with Google voice assistant as well. So I think there's going to be a few more bits that you're going to see, which aren't on this one today. So as you can see, responsiveness is very good as it's very smooth. And then if I turn on things like the maps, all of this is obviously from a tech company who's building cars. So you imagine all of this to be very, very good at what it does. You can turn on the NGP, which is the navigation guided pilot, which is the driving assistance system very easily. But look, very intuitive to use. Your most important functions are over here. Just press at one button. I can lock the car, open the boot, close the wing mirrors. Then I've got some adjustments to my HD. So all of the important functions are right here, just next to your hand. And you can adjust this as you want. Driving your air conditioning and your seats, all of this within the fingers touch.

And then you've got all of your apps as well. Obviously these are Chinese apps, so you're not going to get many of these overseas. This OS obviously will be in English for those overseas markets. But all of my functionality, very good, very smooth. Much, much better than my old X-Peng G3, which is hardly surprising. I think the issue is here in China. We are so spoiled by cars which have every single luxury and technology that you could ever want and not want in a car. So when you get into something like this, it almost feels too basic. But in reality, compared to most cars back home in UK, Europe, this is luxury, this is spectacular, it's very comfortable. I don't have much in the way of features at all. I've got a space for my iPad or whatever. I need to put out their screen. My charging down there, very nice, but plastic heating vent controls down there. So even though it's kind of lacking features, it does feel very premium, very luxury.

And this is going to be for an outstanding price point when it comes onto the market, at least in China. And then you're treated by this gigantic glass roof above your head. Again, this was a premium feature just a few years ago. Like 99.9% UV blocking and everything else perfect for someone like me. Important to also note the interior comes in. I think two colors at the moment. There's a white kind of overall leather impression. And the other one is a kind of a dark black kind of leather impression with this one. The Rome edition has this red piping and red stitching on the interior. We are a little bit light on details when reviewing this. We haven't been given all the information. But what we do know is this. It has a around about 60 kilowatt hour battery. It also comes in REV and Pure EV versions. Pure EV version has 440 kilometres of WLTP range. And the hybrid version has 1,000 kilometres of combined range. Again, we don't know the price yet, but we expect it to be within that

200,000 RMB range. So what you're getting is a full featured car, but without too much for a really good price point, which does loads and loads of kilometres. That's kind of what we want, isn't it? And the Overseas rollout on this is ambitious 63 countries. But there's countries that they're going into who haven't really seen anything like this before that will make those executives from Ford and Stellantis stark to panic. The Mona absolutely knocked it out the park with the MO3, so down here in China, a best seller for many, many months. I think this is going to do the same, but in those overseas markets.
