The XPeng Mona M03 is a battery electric compact car manufactured by Chinese electric car company XPeng and originally developed by DiDi, a Chinese ride-hailing company. It is the first product under the Mona product line, which focuses on lower-priced vehicles in the mainstream segment as opposed to the premium positioning of previous XPeng vehicles. In China, it occupies the A-class segment, equivalent to the global C-segment.
History
Development Originally developed by DiDi's smart electric vehicle department called Da Vinci, the project was codenamed "Mona" during its development starting from 2021. Original plans were to launch DiDi's own budget entry level EV brand, and the Mona would be the first product to be launched. Plans started to change in late 2022 when the development of the Mona project was nearly complete, with camouflaged testing prototypes seen driving around in March 2023. At that time, most of the Da Vinci team was laid off, shortly before DiDi sold its EV development business along with the Mona project to XPeng in August 2023. Release The vehicle was previewed with a set of images in June 2024, then introduced in July 2024 and went on sale in August 2024 ahead of the Chengdu Auto Show. Deliveries began on August 30, 2024, and total deliveries reached 30,000 units in November 2024. The Max variant, equipped with urban supervised autonomous driving capabilities, was launched on May 20, 2025, with deliveries beginning on May 28. == Specifications ==
