Xpeng Motors displays at the 2019 Chengdu Motor Show in China it's latest 2020 Edition of the Xpeng G3 all-electric SUV and the upcoming Xpeng P7 EV coupe.

Deliveries of the G3 2020 Edition already started this month, after the previous version reached a milestone of over 10,000 in June. G3 is sold in over 200 cities in China.

"The G3 2019 model is already China’s most popular EV by the number of sales as well as vehicles insured for an individual model from a new maker for January-July 2019, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA)."

The 2020 Edition is available in two versions - G3 520 and G3 400 with NEDC range of 520 km (323 miles) and 401 km (249 miles), respectively. The range was increased through the use of more energy-dense (180 Wh/kg) CATL batteries.

Henry Xia, Co-founder and Vice President of Xpeng Motors, hosting the delivery ceremony, said:

“The delivery of the G3 2020 marks another milestone for the best-selling G3 series. We are very glad to showcase the latest model in the series at the Chengdu Motor Show,”. “Building on the success of the G3 2019 – already welcomed for its smart features tailored for China’s road conditions and driving habits – the new G3 2020 Edition addresses customer demand for longer driving range and other enhancements. We are excited to start delivery of the G3 2020 in Chengdu, the gateway to Southwest China, where we recently opened five experience and service centers. We are confident it will set new benchmarks for customer satisfaction,”

The next step for Xpeng Motors will be the striking P7 coupe, which is scheduled for market launch in China in Spring 2020.

"Also on show at the Chengdu Motor Show is the Xpeng P7, the advanced four-door coupe model. This design brings premium styling, superior driver-vehicle interaction and advanced L3 autonomous driving features to complement its performance, with 600+ km NEDC range."

Xpeng Motors is known from closely following Tesla's strategy, building its own retail network, "supercharging network" (already 70 stations with a plan for 250 by the end of 2019), over-the-air (OTA) updates and XPILOT 2.5 driving assist system, to name just a few.
