XPeng‘s newly launched GX SUV has a waiting time of between four and 30 weeks, the company’s website showed on Monday — as deliveries begin across China.
The model, which debuted on May 20 and had its first full day of sales on the following day, is priced from 279,800 yuan ($41,200) for its standard, fully electric version.
Additionally, a limited-time 10,000-yuan discount brings the effective range to 269,800–349,800 yuan for orders placed before June 30 — as Chinese automakers battle to secure share in the six-seat SUV segment, one of the most competitive in the country right now.
According to the model configurator online, users purchasing the vehicle on Monday can expect a delivery waiting time of four to seven weeks for most of the trims, including both the battery electric (BEV) and the extended range (EREV) versions.
However, the flagship trims of each powertrain face a longer wait.
The extended-range ‘AWD Ultra Flagship Edition’ — with a combined CLTC range of 1,585 km (985 miles) and priced from 359,800 yuan ($53,000) — is expected to be delivered within 14 to 16 weeks (three to four months).
The most significant difference is, however, the electric version of the same flagship trim.
With a 750 km (466 miles) range and the same price point, the delivery waiting time for the variant is between 26 and 30 weeks — over half a year.
According to XPeng, the flagship variant is equipped with a native steer-by-wire chassis, aerospace-grade six-layer full-domain safety redundancy, triple Turing AI chips, and AI dimming privacy glass.
Showroom Traffic Record
The GX drove the brand’s highest weekday showroom foot traffic of 2026 on its first full day of sales, according to VP of Marketing Alan Yu Tao.
In a Weibo post on Friday, Yu said Thursday’s customer visits set a new weekday record despite typically lower midweek traffic, and also surpassed the next-day figures for every new model launch in 2025 and 2026.
First-day test drive demand for the GX also outpaced every other model in XPeng‘s current lineup, including the single-day test drive record the P7+ had set during its own launch weekend, according to Yu.
The executive added that many stores were already fully booked for GX test drives over the coming weekend.
24,863 Orders in 12 Hours
The showroom surge followed what XPeng described as a stronger-than-expected launch night.
The company announced on Thursday that the GX secured 24,863 firm orders within its first 12 hours on sale — a result that founder and CEO He Xiaopeng said surpassed his own expectations.
“To be honest, the data exceeded at least my expectations,” the CEO said, adding that “from what we’ve seen in our internal data, the numbers have been consistently very, very strong — and that was just the first night.”
Of those early orders, 80% were for flagship trims and more than half were for pure electric versions.
Competitive Positioning
The GX launched on Wednesday priced between 279,800 and 359,800 yuan ($41,100–$52,900) before incentives.
At that promotional pricing, the six-seat SUV nearly undercuts the Onvo L90’s starting price of 265,800 yuan with battery included, while sitting well below the Li Auto i8 and Tesla’s six-seat Model Y L, both priced around 339,000 yuan ($49,900).
XPeng opened pre-sales for the GX in April at a starting price of 399,800 yuan ($58,800).
The final launch pricing represented a significant reduction, with the entry point coming in roughly 30% below the pre-sale figure.
Delivery Pressure
XPeng delivered 93,693 vehicles through the first four months of 2026, down from 129,053 in the same period last year.
The company targets 550,000 to 600,000 deliveries for the full year — which would require an average of roughly 57,000 units per month over the remaining eight months.
XPeng aims to double overseas sales from the 45,008 units delivered in 2025, with a broader target of 1 million annual overseas deliveries by 2030.
