The M03 is the first model of the MONA series launched by the Xpeng brand, which is positioned as a pure electric hatchback coupe. If you look at the available information, the ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.194 is undoubtedly its biggest product highlight.
In fact, the MONA M03 in front of you does not have an exaggerated low-lying posture and an incomparably smooth streamlined body as expected, and it even looks no different from a standard pure electric car on the market at this stage. So I'm sure you'll be the same as me, questioning the number "0.194".
First of all, the front windshield inclination angle of the Xpeng MONA M03 is designed to be 63.4°, which has the advantage of reducing the impact area to a certain extent, and at the same time, with the rear design of the back, the airflow in the upper part of the body can also be quickly discharged. Judging from the data, its length-to-height ratio is 3.31, and the width-to-height ratio has reached 1.31, which does have certain advantages over models of the same type.
Secondly, in the lower part of the front end, it is equipped with an external active grille. At different speeds, the system intelligently adjusts the opening and closing, so as to achieve the dual needs of optimizing wind resistance and electric cooling.
It is reported that Xpeng MONA M03 has carried out a total of 15 wind resistance optimization projects, and the wind resistance coefficient has been reduced by 30%. Reflected at the practical level, the energy consumption of 100 kilometers after optimization is reduced by about 15%, which can bring an increase in the cruising range of more than 60 kilometers, of course, the actual energy consumption performance needs to be demonstrated in combination with the later road test.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Xpeng MONA M03 are 4780*1896*1445mm, and the wheelbase is 2815mm. Compared with similar models, it has certain advantages in length and width, but the wheelbase data is not eye-catching. Upon launch, the new car will be available in 18-inch and 19-inch wheels, with the latter being available in customised colour combinations.
The color of the star blue paint uses Nippon paint, combined with coarse flash and high-contrast metallic aluminum powder technology, which can present a particle texture effect. In addition, it also provides Xinghan Beige car color, the highlight of which is that it can present different color perceptions under different light sources.
The trunk has a practical hatchback design, with a maximum width of 1136mm, a maximum length of 1023mm, and a volume of 621L, which can accommodate one 28-inch and four 20-inch suitcases at the same time. Unfortunately, the interior and interior of the trunk of the car are still in the stage of secrecy, and the actual shooting could not be carried out at this time.
It is powered by 140 kW and 160 kW versions, with a range of 515 km and 620 km. Overall, although the information currently known is very limited, it is certain that the Xpeng MONA M03 will not lack traffic at the beginning of the launch. If the price of less than 200,000 yuan is matched with the mainstream intelligent driving system, I believe it is still very attractive to young people.
