Flagship Xpeng GX SUV logs 20,000th delivery about 100 days after debut

Xpeng announced on Monday that cumulative deliveries of its GX flagship SUV have passed 20,000 units, a milestone reached roughly 100 days after the model went on sale on May 20. The keys to the landmark vehicle were handed to the general manager of Bosch Huayu Steering Systems, the supplier of the SUV's steer-by-wire hardware.

The ramp-up has been steep. After just 284 units in May, monthly volume jumped to 6,739 in June and 7,140 in July, which implies at least 5,837 more GXs were delivered in August by the time of the announcement — about 82 percent of July's figure. The model's share of Xpeng's monthly deliveries also rose, from 16.8 percent in June to 18.8 percent in July. Demand has skewed heavily toward the top Ultra Flagship trim, which took more than 80 percent of the 24,863 orders placed within 12 hours of launch; waits for that version stretched to 35 weeks in June before Xpeng added tooling and production lines for key components.

Positioned as a full-size six-seater, the GX is officially priced between 279,800 and 359,800 yuan, with a limited-time entry price of 269,800 yuan — well below its 399,800 yuan pre-sale figure and roughly on par with Nio's Onvo L90. Buyers choose between a battery-electric version with up to 750 km of CLTC range and 5C fast charging, and an extended-range variant offering 430 km of electric-only driving and 1,585 km of combined range. Steer-by-wire and active rear-wheel steering give the 5.2-meter-plus SUV a 5.4-meter turning radius, while upper trims carry three of Xpeng's in-house Turing AI chips for 2,250 TOPS of compute and a vision-only driver-assistance setup without LiDAR.
