Xpeng has introduced its first crossover model in Israel, the L03, aiming to compete in the family car segment with prices starting below 200,000 shekels (approximately $54,000 USD). This launch follows three years after the brand's local debut, during which it has sold 17,000 vehicles in Israel. The L03 is designed to rival models like the Jaco 7, BYD Atto 3, and Geely E5.
The L03 crossover measures 4.65 meters in length, with a wheelbase of 2.85 meters, and offers a trunk volume of 539 liters. It features a low drag coefficient of 0.23, contributing to its electric range. The vehicle is available in three configurations: a standard electric model starting at 170,000 shekels ($45,000 USD) with a 58.2 kWh battery and 221.7 hp, offering a range of up to 445 km. A long-range electric version starts at 180,000 shekels ($48,000 USD) with a 71.1 kWh battery and 249 hp, providing a range of up to 520 km.
A notable addition is a plug-in hybrid variant, new to Xpeng in Israel, priced at 185,000 shekels ($49,300 USD). This version uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine to charge a 37 kWh battery, enabling an electric-only range of 215 km. The hybrid model's electric motor produces 242 hp, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. It supports fast charging at 123 kW and slow charging at 6.6 kW.
All L03 versions come with a single trim level, featuring a 15.6-inch multimedia screen, an 8.88-inch instrument cluster, and a 26.8-inch head-up display. Controls for climate and audio are managed through the touchscreen, with only basic physical buttons on the steering wheel. Standard features include heated and ventilated front seats, massage functions, and a heated steering wheel. The electric versions also include a 102-liter front trunk.
Optional extras include metallic paint and a tow hitch, each costing an additional 5,000 shekels. The L03 has not yet undergone European crash testing. Its active safety features include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, and a child presence warning system.
