After teaser images all summer, XPeng officially unveiled the MONA M03 in July 2024 before officially launching the model at <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/08\/27\/xpeng-launches-mona-m03-china-over-half-the-price-tesla-model-3\/\">ultra-affordable prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the M03 initially launched in three separate trims, priced at RMB 119,800 ($16,815), RMB 129,800 ($18,220), and RMB 155,800 ($21,870), respectively. The three variants \u2013 515, 620, and 580 Max \u2013 refer to each MONA M03\u2019s CLTC range (km), and the \u201cMax\u201d signifies the addition of XPeng\u2019s smart driving ADAS capability.<\/p>\n<p>The two lower-end trims of the MONA M03 <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/08\/30\/xpeng-mona-m03-ev-nabs-30000-orders-first-48-hours-deliveries-commence\/\">began deliveries in August 2024<\/a> and have since propelled the model to the top-selling A-segment BEV sedan in China for eight consecutive months.

The event featured a pink and purple gift-wrapped BEV, and \u201cfurry\u201d in a Hawaiian shirt, and one of the funniest, poorly translated captions from <em>Weibo<\/em> I\u2019ve seen yet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" readability=\"10\">\n<p>Xiaopeng MONA Max 520 surprise unboxing, giving you a sweet attack.
