Slightly cheaper than the other electrics

 Xpeng, a leading Chinese smart electric vehicle company, has started delivery of smart EVs to customers in Norway.

More than 100 Xpeng G3 smart electric SUVs are being handed over this week to their new owners across 28 cities and towns in Norway - the northernmost of which is Bodø just north of the Arctic Circle.

While the domestic Chinese market remains Xpeng's primary customer base, the company is keen to develop an international strategy with the launch of its first production model, the G3 electric SUV.

Xpeng is also planning to launch its second production model, the P7 electric sports sedan, in Europe within the next 12 months.

He Xiaopeng, CEO & Chairman of Xpeng, commented: “This week’s customer deliveries in Norway represent a key milestone in Xpeng’s aspirations to become a truly international smart EV brand. Our launch in Europe comes just as consumers are shifting in increasingly large numbers to more sustainable personal transport, and at a tipping point where governments around the world are stepping up their zero emission efforts. We look forward to being a significant driver in accelerating that transition.”

The G3 is slightly cheaper than other electric SUVs cheaper price. The list price for the G3 in Norway starts at 358,000 NKr (EUR 33,700).

This smart electric SUV is sharply styled, with a panoramic windscreen, and a certified range of 520km NEDC (451km WLTP). The G3 features Xpeng’s proprietary XPILOT 2.5 advanced driver assistance system. The G3’s auto parking function is able to distinguish between parallel and vertical parking spaces, as well as marked and unmarked parking spaces.

The G3 available in Norway features an English language user interface, with the AI-powered “Hi Xpeng” voice assistant, intelligent navigation and remote APP control.

The software for the XPILOT and Xmart OS operating system has been fully developed by Xpeng’s in-house R&D team, a clear example of the company’s approach to smart tech innovation.
