Edit: Offical sales price is out! 119,800-155,800 RMB (16,800-21,900 USD, 15,300-19,900 Euro). XPeng has officially started presales for the Mona M03 at a price of 135,900 RMB (19,000 USD, 17,195 Euro). Presale prices are almost always HIGHER than the official price at launch, but we'll update here when we know more.

Gm alone in 2019 profited over $2,000,000,000 in 2019 from ice sales in China alone. For 2024? So far they have a $200,000,000 loss On ice sales and tracking to approach half a billion in losses. 😀👍🏻

Hi! I wish that when you talk about a vehicle model you would show at least a few seconds of a picture of that model.

Thank you for the feedback! We try to provide context for the models we mention either through footage, or by linking to our review of the car in question.

@Wheelsboy24 күн бұрын
Capacitive wheels are more user friendly, but they aren't as secure as a torque sensor in my opinion. Torque sensors can be tricked via the old water bottle trick, or whatever insane device they're selling on Amazon these days to trick FSD, but that's why you also need an eye line monitoring camera to make sure the driver is looking ahead at all times.

Electric cars have evolved greatly both in performance and affordability but same can't be said about electric motorcycles. Hope BYD like established ev brands focus in this department. An EV motorcycle with 500-600 km of range with a price tag around 8k US dollars would have been awesome. I own KTM 390 which gives only 21 kmpl mileage , if I have to cover 1k km distance then the expenditure on fuel is a lot, That's why I want a capable ev motorcycle to hit the market with affordable pricing. Petrol price is skyrocketing 😢

@subasthapa8323 Drag is too high to make the EV equation work at highway speeds for non streamlined motorcycles. A motogp rider tucked behind the fairing has a drag coefficient of 0.4. Twice that of the Mona 03. A rider on a normal bike would be twice as draggy again. Chinese cities have millions of electric mopeds and scooters. At city speeds aerodynamic drag is not an issue.

Definitely a brilliant EV in terms of its power and beautiful exterior design!

MONA 03 is JuanMa’s first car designed for XPENG which is astonishing comparing to XPENG previous EV models.

This car’s price would put it in the range of Toyota Corolla size with a bit more power. The cargo capacity is really good however, it seems that design has a huge cover for the hatch hinges, that intrudes on rear head space. A lot of EVs are getting rid of physical controls and putting everything in the center screen, how is that faring in China?
