XPENG Philippines Prices: L03 From ₱1.548 Million, X9 From ₱3.858 Million, and What Launch Night Changed

XPENG took over the SM Mall of Asia Arena on September 25 and priced four more variants than it had announced two weeks earlier, starting ₱510,000 lower.

For the two weeks before its Philippine launch, XPENG showed buyers exactly two prices, both for the top of each model line: ₱2,058,000 for the L03 SUV coupe and ₱4,058,000 for the X9 MPV. Reservations opened against those numbers, at ₱10,000 for the L03 and ₱25,000 for the X9. On September 25, in front of about 3,000 guests at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, the Chinese electric-vehicle maker filled in the rest of its price list, and its cheapest car came in ₱510,000 below anything it had announced.

XPENG is based in Guangzhou and markets itself around what it calls “Physical AI”: driver-assistance software, voice control, and autonomous-driving research built into the car. It is entering the Philippines through its own local subsidiary rather than a third-party distributor. Actress Anne Curtis, whose business moves ElysPlanet has covered before, was named its Philippine brand ambassador.

The L03, Four Ways

The L03 is a fastback crossover, the body style carmakers call an SUV coupe, and all four versions drive the rear wheels. Range figures below are WLTP ratings (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure), the lab standard most brands quote; real-world range usually runs lower.

The EV Standard Range opens the lineup at ₱1,548,000 with a 58.3-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery rated for up to 445 kilometers. The EV Long Range moves to a 71.1-kWh pack for ₱1,698,000 and the longest electric range in the lineup, 520 kilometers. The EV RWD Long Range Ultra, the ₱2,058,000 variant XPENG priced first, keeps the larger battery but gives back some range (480 km) for more equipment. Across the L03 line, XPENG quotes DC fast charging from 10 to 80 percent in about 20 minutes under optimal conditions.

The fourth L03 works differently. The REEV, short for range-extended electric vehicle, costs ₱1,598,000 and pairs a smaller 37.2-kWh battery, good for up to 215 km on electricity alone, with a gasoline engine that never turns the wheels. The engine runs only as an onboard generator, recharging the battery on the move, and XPENG rates the combination at up to 1,017 kilometers. For drivers who regularly cover long provincial routes, that figure matters more than any other on the sheet, because it takes charger planning out of the trip.

The X9, for the Family Buyer

The X9 is a seven-seat electric MPV and XPENG’s flagship. The X9 Long Range costs ₱3,858,000 and comes with reclining “Zero-Gravity” second-row captain’s chairs split by an aisle to the third row. The X9 with Second Row Premium Seat Package, at ₱4,058,000, swaps those for seats with powered headrests and 16-point massage.

Both share the hardware that matters most in Metro Manila parking. Active rear-wheel steering, where the back wheels turn slightly with the front, gives the X9 a 5.4-meter turning radius. Dual-chamber air suspension manages the ride, and the third row folds under the floor at the press of a button. Both versions also run a 110-kWh battery rated for up to 615 kilometers, on an 800-volt electrical architecture built for faster charging.

Four Days, Two EV Launches

XPENG’s entry came four days after Kia Philippines launched the EV3, the 2025 World Car of the Year, at ₱1,898,000 including a wall charger, with an introductory price of ₱1,868,000 until October 31. The cheapest L03 undercuts the EV3’s regular price by ₱350,000, and the battery-electric L03s also come with a home wall charger. Both entry cars carry a 58.3-kWh battery, and on the same WLTP test the L03 edges ahead, 445 kilometers to the EV3’s 436. Kia’s headline 511 comes from NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), an older and more generous standard.

Kia published its terms on launch day: five years or 160,000 kilometers on the car, eight years or 160,000 kilometers on the high-voltage battery, and deliveries from October 1. XPENG’s terms, released after launch night, look close on paper: a five-year vehicle warranty and an eight-year battery and motor warranty on both models, though the published terms don’t mention a mileage cap. The bigger gap is timing. Kia starts handing over cars on October 1, while XPENG only commits to the fourth quarter.

What Buyers Get, and What’s Still Open

X9 buyers get five years of free preventive maintenance and roadside assistance, plus a 7-kilowatt home wall charger. L03 buyers get two years of free maintenance and five years of roadside assistance. The battery-electric versions come with the same wall charger, and the REEV comes with a 3.5-kW portable charger. Deliveries are due in the fourth quarter through dealerships in Greenhills, Makati, North EDSA, and Cebu. XPENG says it will have eight showrooms across Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao by year-end, and two more models within six months.

Still unknown: an exact delivery date, whether the warranties carry a mileage cap, and how much of XPENG’s driver-assistance software will be switched on for Philippine cars at launch. ElysPlanet hasn’t driven either car; a full review waits on time behind the wheel.
