XPeng L03 in Australia: The Specs Are Published, the Price Is Not

Image credit: XPENG

There is a version of this story doing the rounds with a full Australian price list in it. Three variants, three numbers, a delivery month. It reads well. The problem is that none of it comes from XPENG Australia, and we do not publish car prices sourced from other publishers. So here is the version we can stand behind, which is smaller and quite a bit more useful: XPENG has put the L03 in front of Australian buyers, with Australian-facing numbers attached, and has not told anyone what it costs.

That gap is the story. It is also a gap you can check yourself in about thirty seconds, and the rest of this article is mostly us showing where we looked.

Where XPeng Australia Actually Publishes the L03

XPENG runs two Australian-facing surfaces, and they disagree about whether the L03 exists.

shop.xpeng.com.au is where XPENG Australia sells cars. As at 25 September 2026 it lists exactly two: the New G6, described as an Ultra Smart Coupé SUV, and the X9, the Ultra Intelligent 7 Seater. The L03 appears zero times. Neither of the two cars that are listed carries a displayed price either, with both pointing to an Enquire Now flow instead.

The XPENG Australia page on the global site is the one that carries the L03. It sits there as the "Next-Gen AI SUV Coupe", marked Coming Soon, with a three-stat block and a Register Your Interest button where a price and a configurator would normally be. There is a second Australian L03 campaign page, and that one is thinner again: marketing lines, an early-access signup, a note that the features shown in the visuals are not standard across all models, and no specifications or price at all.

One practical warning if you go looking. That three-stat block does not always populate. On some loads it renders as "Up to 0km", "0.0s" and "In 0minutes". Those zeroes are an empty template, not a specification, and they are worth mentioning because a zero looks like data in a way a blank space does not.

The Three Numbers Australia Has Been Given

These are the only L03 figures XPENG puts on an Australian-facing page.

Everything Else Is a Global-Page Claim

The richer spec list exists, but it lives on XPENG's global L03 page rather than an Australian one. That distinction matters more than it sounds. A global page describes the car XPENG builds, not the car Australia certifies, and local specification routinely differs on towing, equipment and even powertrain availability. Treat every row below as a global claim awaiting Australian confirmation.

XPENG attaches its own caveat to all of it, and it is worth quoting rather than paraphrasing: "All technical data are subject to final type approval. Data has been obtained during internal testing." That is a manufacturer telling you its own numbers are provisional. It applies to the Australian stat block too.

A few things XPENG describes but does not put a number on: a 400-volt architecture, dual Turing chips running the driving and cabin software, dual-motor all-wheel drive with Snow, Slippery and Escape modes, and vehicle-to-load on every variant. No V2L output in watts, no battery capacity in kWh, no kerb weight, no dimensions. Those are all no data.

What We Can Say by Comparison, Using Our Own Rows

Without a price, most of the usual comparisons are not available. Here is what our own data supports.

On boot space, the L03's claimed 539L is the same figure our Zeekr 7X rows carry, and it sits below the 571L on both XPeng G6 rows and well below the 854L our Tesla Model Y rows carry. It is above the Geely EX5 at 302L and the BYD Atto 3 EVO Premium at 490L. Of the 283 on-sale electric rows where we hold a boot figure, 70 are at 539L or more, so the L03 would land inside the roomier quarter of the electric field rather than at the top of it.

On towing, 1,500kg braked reads well in a press line and is unremarkable in this market. Of the 244 on-sale electric rows where we hold a braked figure, 137 are rated at 1,500kg or better, including both G6 rear-drive rows at 1,500kg and the Model Y at 1,600kg. We hold no braked towing figure at all for the Geely EX5 or the Zeekr 7X, which is no data rather than a zero. A tow rating on its own does not tell you whether a given trailer actually fits inside the car's other limits, so if you are shopping this class to tow, our towing and payload calculator measures a real load against published payload, GVM, GCM and tow-ball ratings for the cars we do hold figures for. The L03 is not in it yet, because we hold none of those numbers for it.

On range, the up-to-520km WLTP claim would sit between our two rear-drive G6 rows, which carry 435km and 570km WLTP. Both Zeekr 7X long-range rows carry more, at 615km. But this is exactly the comparison to hold loosely: XPENG's figure is an "up to", it is pre-type-approval by XPENG's own footnote, and we do not know which battery or which drivetrain it belongs to.

A WLTP number is also a lab number, and the gap between it and a cold winter highway run is the part that decides whether a car suits your week. Our range calculator models how speed and outside temperature move it, and the highway efficiency comparator ranks cars at 110km/h using drag coefficient and weight rather than battery size alone, which is the comparison a Cd of 0.228 would actually be competing in. Both run on the G6, Model Y and Zeekr 7X figures we hold. Neither can run the L03 until XPENG publishes a battery capacity and a kerb weight.

What we deliberately have not done is compare prices. We hold no Australian price for the L03, and an unpriced car cannot be positioned against a priced one without inventing the number that does the positioning.

Why We Will Not Print the Price List You Have Seen

A full Australian L03 price list is circulating, with variant-by-variant figures, a range-extender powertrain, two separate range numbers, a pre-order date and a delivery month. We have read it. We are not repeating it, and this is not caution for its own sake.

Our sourcing rule is that a price we publish or store has to come from the manufacturer's own Australian material. Not another publisher, not an aggregator, not a competitor's article, however well sourced it may turn out to be. The failure mode is specific and we have seen it: a figure gets quoted, then re-quoted, then quoted back at us as corroboration, and by the fourth citation nobody can point to the manufacturer document it came from. If a number is right, XPENG will publish it and we will carry it the same day.

So the honest position, as at 25 September 2026: XPENG Australia has not announced L03 pricing, has not published a local price list, has not opened an L03 order page on its Australian shop, and has not published an on-sale date. Figures circulating elsewhere are not confirmed by XPENG Australia.

Where the L03 Sits in XPeng's Australian Plan

XPENG Australia sells two cars today: the G6 from $51,800 before on-road costs across its rear-drive rows, and the X9 seven-seater at $89,900 before on-road costs, both figures from our own rows. The L03 would slot in underneath the G6 as the smaller, newer car, which is precisely why the missing price matters to anyone currently deciding between a G6 and something else.

The other L03 detail already on the record is software. XPENG told Australian media in June 2026 that its VLA 2.0 supervised driving system would arrive here from 2027, free for owners, and that it needs the newer Turing chip platform, which the current G6 does not have. The L03 does. That makes it the first XPENG sold here that could run it, though XPENG has not restated that timing on either Australian L03 page.

What This Means For Buyers

If you are waiting on an L03, there is nothing here to diarise. Registering interest is the only action XPENG offers, and it is not a deposit, a queue position or a price hold.

If you are shopping the sub-$60,000 electric SUV shelf right now, the L03 cannot be part of that decision yet, because the one number you would compare does not exist. The cars that can be compared are already priced and already rated: Geely EX5, BYD Atto 3, Zeekr 7X and the Tesla Model Y, plus XPENG's own G6.

And if you tow, wait for the Australian figure rather than the global one. Braked towing is set at local certification, and the 1,500kg on XPENG's global page has not been confirmed for this market.

We will add an Australian price to the L03 listing on the day XPENG Australia publishes one, and not before.
