XPENG has officially arrived in the Philippines — and it brought more than just two cars to the party.

The AI-driven mobility company staged its grand Philippine launch Friday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, where it revealed the full six-variant lineup of its first two local models: the flagship XPENG X9 seven-seater MPV and the XPENG L03 SUV coupé.

The lineup starts at ₱1,548,000 (roughly $24,722) for the L03 EV Standard Range and climbs all the way to ₱4,058,000 ($64,799) for the X9 with its Second Row Premium Seat Package.

That fills in the gaps from XPENG’s earlier Philippine announcements, which initially put only the range-topping X9 and L03 variants in the spotlight. The company is now giving buyers three battery-electric L03 variants, plus a range-extended electric version, while the X9 comes in two configurations.

The XPENG L03 is arguably the more interesting part of the lineup for most buyers. The entry-level L03 EV Standard Range uses a 58.3kWh battery for up to 445 kilometers of WLTP range. Move up to the L03 EV Long Range and you get a 71.1kWh battery and up to 520km of range, while the range-topping L03 EV RWD Long Range Ultra uses the same 71.1kWh battery and is rated for up to 480km.

The fourth option takes a different approach altogether. The L03 REEV has a 37.2kWh battery and can travel up to 215km on electricity alone. When you need to go farther, its onboard engine generates electricity for the battery instead of mechanically driving the wheels, giving the car a claimed combined WLTP range of up to 1,017km.

That makes the REEV the odd one out — and potentially the most intriguing one. It can behave like an EV for a large chunk of everyday driving without making long-distance trips entirely dependent on finding a charger.

All four L03 variants drive the rear wheels and support DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes under optimal conditions. The SUV coupé also gets a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, a five-seat cabin, 539 liters of rear luggage space, and XPENG’s suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies.

Here’s what the XPENG L03 lineup costs:

• L03 EV Standard Range: ₱1,548,000 ($24,722)
• L03 REEV: ₱1,598,000 ($25,521)
• L03 EV Long Range: ₱1,698,000 ($27,122)
• L03 EV RWD Long Range Ultra: ₱2,058,000 ($32,872)

Then there’s the X9, which is playing in an entirely different league.

XPENG’s flagship MPV is available in two Long Range variants, both using a 110kWh battery and a front-wheel-drive electric powertrain producing 235kW and 450Nm. Claimed WLTP range is up to 615km, and the carmaker says the X9 can go from 10% to 80% charge in roughly 12 minutes with a compatible DC fast charger under optimal conditions.

Both versions also get one of the XPENG X9’s most useful party tricks: active rear-wheel steering, which gives the more-than-five-meter-long MPV a claimed turning radius of just 5.4 meters. There’s also dual-chamber air suspension and a powered third row that disappears beneath the floor when you need more cargo room.

The difference between the two Philippine variants is what happens in the second row. The X9 Long Range uses Zero-Gravity seats separated by a central aisle, making it easier for passengers to move between the second and third rows. The XPENG X9 with Second Row Premium Seat Package, meanwhile, goes all-in on the executive-MPV experience with powered headrests and 16-point massage.

Prices are:

• X9 Long Range: ₱3,858,000 ($61,617)
• X9 with Second Row Premium Seat Package: ₱4,058,000 ($64,799)

Those prices make the X9 a serious luxury-MPV proposition, but XPENG is clearly hoping the technology will be as much of the sales pitch as the lounge-like cabin. It describes itself as a Physical AI company, and that philosophy extends beyond its cars.

At the launch, XPENG also showed off its X2 flying car and IRON humanoid robot, giving the 3,000-person event a glimpse of where the auto manufacturer wants its AI ambitions to go next. Actress and television host Anne Curtis was also introduced as XPENG Philippines’ official brand ambassador.

But for Filipino buyers, the cars are the immediate story.

XPENG is supporting the X9 with five years of free preventive maintenance and roadside assistance, a five-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and an eight-year warranty covering the battery and electric motor. X9 buyers also get a 7kW wall charger.

The L03 gets two years of free preventive maintenance, five years of roadside assistance, a five-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and an eight-year battery and electric-motor warranty. EV versions include a 7kW wall charger, while the REEV comes with a 3.5kW portable charger.

Reservations are already open, with the X9 requiring ₱25,000 ($399) and the L03 ₱10,000 ($160). XPENG says customer deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The company currently has four dealerships — in Greenhills, Makati, North EDSA, and Cebu — with more expected as it expands its Philippine sales and service network. That gives XPENG a rather ambitious starting point: a luxury electric MPV at one end, an SUV coupé that can be had for less than ₱1.6 million at the other, and a range-extender in between for buyers who aren’t quite ready to make the charging leap.

XPENG isn’t just entering the Philippine EV market with one answer. It’s bringing six of them.
