Summing up the Xpeng Mona M03 EV

The Xpeng Mona M03 will offer compelling value with its hatchback practicality providing 621 litres of cargo space, significantly more than the Tesla Model 3’s 425 litres, while maintaining similar external dimensions and a highly efficient aerodynamic profile. Priced at approximately half the cost of a current Tesla Model 3 in China, the Mona M03 could potentially disrupt the electric vehicle market in Australia when it arrives, offering an attractive combination of range, technology, and utility at a more accessible price point.
