Exterior details
The new XPENG GX is a full-size three-row SUV that is based on an all-new range-extender hybrid platform. The GX boasts a clean and elegant exterior design with streamlined body panels, a clean front fascia with adaptive LED headlights, a blacked-off grille, multi-spoke alloy wheels, retractable door handles, a clean rear design with a connected LED taillight, and a boxy overall design with a big greenhouse.
Since it rivals the likes of the Range Rover, the GX SUV measures 5,265 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and 1,800 mm in height. It comes equipped with a generous 3,118 mm wheelbase, which offers a big interior space. If we compare its dimensions with the segment rivals, it is bigger than the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Audi Q8, and Range Rover Sport.
XPENG is offering the GX in five exterior colours in the UAE:
- Cloud Realm (dual-tone)
- Desert Gold Matte (displayed in the UAE showrooms)
- Fjord Grey

- Arctic White
Interior and features
The interior design of the XPENG GX looks like a full-fledged luxury sedan. It comes with a premium cabin with six- and seven-seater configurations, with seats and interior trim draped in rich soft-touch leather upholstery.
The key attraction of the XPENG GX is its second-row zero-gravity seat configuration. A press of a button pushes the front passenger seat forward, drops the curtains, extends the thigh support, reclines the seats, and pops out a massive 21.4-inch 3K rear infotainment screen mounted on the headliner.
The rear passenger seats also get a 16-way powered adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage function, electrically adjustable armrest, integrated airbags, and a dual pre-tensioner system as well.
The dashboard features a full-width 88-inch augmented reality head-up display, a 17.3-inch infotainment screen, and an 8.8-inch digital driver console. Other features include a 33-speaker sound system with headrest-mounted speakers, electrically foldable third row, electric tailgate, LiDAR-based autonomous safety assist system, AI Digital Projection LED headlights, adaptive high-beam, powered smart doors, a digital rear-view mirror, and a 7-button UWB smart key.
