XPeng has confirmed that its flagship GX SUV is coming to Australia, adding a full-size battery-electric model above the brand’s growing local range. The GX is a six-seat luxury SUV that is bigger than the incoming G9L and is intended to be the brand’s global flagship. Local timing, price, final model name and specification are still to be confirmed, but the battery-electric GX already provides a strong indication of what Australian buyers may eventually see.
XPeng GX Australia: What Is Confirmed?
XPeng has publicly confirmed the GX for Australia. The company has not locked in an arrival date, local pricing or its final Australian name. That last detail matters because Lexus already uses the GX badge locally. For now, the useful takeaway is that XPeng’s largest SUV is part of the local plan, rather than simply an overseas prospect.
| Item | Current position |
|---|---|
| Australian availability | Confirmed by XPeng; timing still to be announced |
| Local name | To be confirmed |
| Local pricing | To be confirmed |
| Seating in China | Six seats |
| Powertrain focus in this article | Battery-electric GX EV only |
This article focuses on the pure battery-electric GX EV. XPeng offers more than one powertrain in China, but Australian allocation has not been detailed. Until the local specification is announced, overseas figures should be treated as an indication of the EV’s capability rather than a promise of the Australian model.
A Full-Size Electric SUV, Not Just a Bigger G9
At 5,265mm long and with a 3,115mm wheelbase, the GX is a genuinely large SUV. Its size creates room for a six-seat cabin with second-row captain’s chairs and a third row, rather than relying on a small occasional-use rear bench. That gives XPeng a different proposition from many five-seat electric SUVs already on sale in Australia.
For context, the GX is longer than a Range Rover Sport and sits above the G9L in XPeng’s global hierarchy. It will also give Australian buyers another forthcoming full-size electric alternative alongside high-end models from established luxury brands. If you are comparing the emerging Chinese premium-EV class, evee’s review of the Zeekr 7X explains the different approach taken by a smaller, five-seat premium SUV.
Battery-Electric GX EV: Range, Power and Charging
In China, the GX EV is offered in rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive forms. The rear-drive version uses a 91.9kWh battery, while the flagship all-wheel-drive version uses a 110kWh battery. Both use XPeng’s 800V SEPA 3.0 architecture, which is designed to support very fast charging when a suitably powerful DC charger is available.
| Chinese-market GX EV specification | RWD | AWD |
|---|---|---|
| Motor output | 270kW / 465Nm | 430kW / 695Nm |
| Battery | 91.9kWh | 110kWh |
| Claimed range | 665km CLTC | 750km CLTC |
| 0–100km/h | 6.97 seconds | 4.7 seconds |
| Claimed DC fast charge | 10–80% in about 12 minutes | 10–80% in about 12 minutes |
The headline range figures use China’s CLTC test cycle, so they should not be read as equivalent to Australian WLTP figures. Even so, the combination of a large battery and 800V hardware makes the GX an interesting prospect for long-distance family driving. evee’s guide to the Australian EV charging network is useful background for drivers planning how fast-charging capability translates to local routes.
Six Seats and a Premium Cabin
The GX is designed around a six-seat arrangement, with power-adjustable second-row captain’s chairs, a broad aisle to the third row and a fold-flat rear seat. In China, the vehicle is offered with Nappa leather, a rear control screen, entertainment display options and a multi-speaker audio system. Whether those features are carried into Australian variants will be decided closer to launch.
This people-carrying focus puts the GX in a different part of the market from XPeng’s X9 electric people mover, which is already available in Australia. Readers looking for the X9’s local price, range and specification can see evee’s XPeng X9 Australia guide. The GX, by contrast, brings SUV styling and ground clearance to the same broad need for spacious electric family transport.
When Will the XPeng GX Arrive in Australia?
XPeng has confirmed the GX for Australia but has not committed to a launch date. The brand has several other arrivals in its local pipeline, so the GX is unlikely to be the next XPeng model to reach showrooms. It may also arrive with a different badge because of the existing Lexus GX trademark. Until XPeng confirms local timing, the best view is that the GX EV is a future Australian model with a clear global specification but an unfinished local story.
For Australians deciding whether an EV suits their current driving habits, an EV rental through evee can be a practical way to experience electric motoring before a future three-row SUV such as the GX reaches local showrooms.
