New XPeng Mona SUV spotted in fresh images
Expected price around USD 17000 to 18000
Designed to compete directly with Tesla Model 3
XPeng plans European production to reduce tariffs
Nepal expected to receive the Mona SUV after Europe
The XPeng Mona SUV is coming in hot, and the first images make one thing clear. XPeng is gearing up to disrupt the affordable EV world again. With a coupe-inspired shape, a clean front profile and a modern crossover stance, the Mona SUV sits below the G6 and is built to be the brand's most accessible global SUV yet.
XPeng already sells the G6 in Nepal, and if demand rises, the larger X9 might also join the lineup. The new Mona SUV is positioned even lower, making it a potential best seller in price-sensitive markets.
XPeng is reportedly targeting a starting price of about USD 16700, which is shockingly competitive for a tech-focused electric SUV. It is designed as an affordable global model that still packs smart features.
XPeng is paying special attention to Europe. The Mona SUV is expected to be built in Germany, thanks to its partnership with Volkswagen. Building locally would help XPeng soften Europe’s high import taxes on Chinese EVs.
The prototype shows a coupe-style roofline that gives it a sleek profile. The size and shape suggest direct competition with the Tesla Model 3, even though this one sits higher like a crossover.
While the exact features are still under wraps, its design and dimensions hint at a tech-savvy SUV with XPeng’s familiar smart-driving DNA. Think clean lines, aerodynamic styling and a cabin likely focused on practicality and clever packaging.
XPeng has big plans here. The Mona SUV is being developed with Europe in mind. A Germany-based production facility could become the main hub for European distribution. If successful, the same plant would handle exports across the region.
XPeng already sells European-market models in Nepal. So once the Mona SUV is officially launched in Europe, there is a very high chance it will make its way to Nepal too.
XPeng is clearly aiming at a sweet spot. An EV priced under USD 18000 with modern design, strong efficiency and possible ADAS features is exactly what many global markets are waiting for.
If XPeng delivers on quality and performance, the Mona SUV has the potential to become one of the most influential budget electric SUVs worldwide. It is built to be affordable, aspirational and ready for mass adoption.
The XPeng Mona SUV is shaping up to be one of the most exciting electric vehicles in the affordable EV segment. Early images already show its appeal, and the combination of price, design and global ambition could make it a top contender in both European and Asian markets.
Once XPeng officially unveils the full specifications, this SUV might just redefine what budget EVs are capable of.
