Xpeng L05 midsize SUV spotted testing in Malaysia ahead of local launch
By Eve
The Xpeng L05, a midsize SUV measuring 4,870 mm long with a 2,940 mm wheelbase, has been filmed undergoing road tests in Bukit Raja, Malaysia, according to a paultan.org report on 20 October 2026. The model, sold under Xpeng's Mona sub-brand in China, offers a pure EV variant with 635 km CLTC range and a range extended electric vehicle (REEV) version with 310 km EV range. Xpeng previously confirmed the L05 would launch in Malaysia this year alongside the smaller L03 sedan.
Why it matters
The sighting signals Xpeng's expansion of its Malaysian model lineup beyond the G6, targeting the midsize SUV segment with both battery electric and extended range options. For charging operators, the REEV variant's 310 km electric only range suggests demand for public charging infrastructure will depend on customer uptake of the pure EV model versus the petrol assisted version.

The localised production in Austria and market specific configuration signal XPENG's commitment to European expansion, potentially driving demand for charging infrastructure capable of serving premium SUV fleets. The vehicle's positioning as a flagship model may influence procurement decisions for corporate fleets and premium charging network operators targeting high end EV customers.

Blue Energy Motors has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to participate in the PARIVARTAN Scheme, which offers financial incentives and tax concessions to fleet operators replacing aging, high-emission trucks and buses with zero-emission electric models across the Delhi-National Capital Region. The commercial vehicle maker will supply electric heavy-duty trucks to logistics providers transitioning away from fossil fuels under the programme.
