Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) has teased the upcoming debut of the Mona L05 SUV, expanding its lineup to support a push for higher monthly sales in the fourth quarter.
The Chinese electric vehicle maker announced the model on Weibo on Monday, positioning it as a spacious 5-seat SUV for younger buyers, without disclosing a specific debut date or pricing.
Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said during an August 24 earnings call that the Mona L05 was scheduled to launch in China in the fourth quarter, joining other new models in driving sales growth.
The Mona L05 is a mid-size SUV positioned above the compact Mona L03 SUV, which was launched in July.
The new model measures 4,870 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width and 1,636 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,940 mm, according to earlier regulatory filings. It will be available in battery electric vehicle (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) versions.
The Mona L05 BEV has a 71.1-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, offering a CLTC range of 615 to 660 kilometers depending on the variant, according to its filing information.
The EREV version has a 1.5-liter range extender and a 37.2-kWh battery pack. Both powertrain versions feature a drive motor with a maximum output of 183 kW (245 hp).
The teaser comes as Xpeng rolls out a string of SUVs to broaden its market coverage, though its deliveries so far this year remain below year-earlier levels.
The company launched the 5-seat flagship G9L SUV in China on September 17, forming a dual-flagship lineup alongside the 6-seat GX SUV.
