XPENG L03 reaches Romania from €36,990
XPENG has added the L03 to the Romanian market with five configurations and two powertrain concepts. The entry car is the Standard Range, a rear-wheel-drive electric SUV coupé with 222 hp and a quoted WLTP range of 445 km. It starts at €36,990 including VAT. The Romanian range tops out at €48,490 for the Performance Ultra, which combines two electric motors with all-wheel drive and 431 hp.
Romanian prices and versions
The local list includes three rear-wheel-drive battery-electric versions, an all-wheel-drive performance model and a range-extender electric vehicle. The starting prices are:
| Version | Powertrain | Output | Quoted range | Price incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Range | electric, RWD | 222 hp | 445 km WLTP | €36,990 |
| Long Range Plus | electric, RWD | 249 hp | 520 km WLTP | €40,090 |
| Long Range Ultra | electric, RWD | 249 hp | 480 km WLTP | €44,590 |
| Performance Ultra | electric, AWD | 431 hp | 440 km WLTP | €48,490 |
| PowerX Long Range | REEV, RWD | 242 hp | 215 km electric / 1,017 km combined | €39,990 |
These are starting prices. The final purchase document should be checked for equipment, delivery costs, options and registration-related charges. The range figures are homologation results under the WLTP cycle, not a promise of a fixed distance in daily driving. XPENG lists speed, temperature, load, terrain and climate control among the variables that can change real-world range.
The entry battery and charging figures
The Standard Range uses a single rear motor and an LFP battery rated at 58.2 or 58.3 kWh, depending on the market specification. XPENG’s European materials quote 180 kW, equivalent to roughly 245 PS, while the Romanian price list uses 222 hp. The car is quoted at up to 193 kW DC charging and about 20 minutes from 10 to 80 per cent under suitable conditions.
The European configurators also list 11 kW AC charging and approximately 6.8 hours for a 5–100 per cent charge. A charger’s advertised output should not be confused with the power the car will accept throughout the session. Battery temperature, state of charge and the local electrical installation all affect the result.
The Long Range Plus uses a larger LFP battery of about 71.1–71.2 kWh while keeping rear-wheel drive and the 180 kW motor family. Its Romanian price is €3,100 above the entry car, and its official WLTP range rises to 520 km. For a driver who can charge at home, that extra capacity may be useful on regular inter-city routes; it does not remove the normal WLTP limitations.
Wheel size changes the range figure
Long Range Ultra retains the larger battery and rear-wheel-drive layout, but the quoted range falls to 480 km. The main reason given for the difference is its 20-inch wheels, compared with 18-inch wheels on the Long Range Plus. Wheel size can affect rolling resistance, mass and aerodynamic performance, so the range reduction is not evidence of a different battery.
At €44,590, the Ultra costs €4,500 more than Long Range Plus. The comparison is therefore about equipment and appearance as much as it is about powertrain. Buyers who prioritise distance should not assume that the most expensive rear-wheel-drive version also delivers the longest official range.
Performance Ultra is the only Romanian AWD version
The Romanian Performance Ultra combines two electric motors with all-wheel drive and a quoted 431 hp. Its 71.1 kWh battery is associated with a 440-km WLTP range. At €48,490, it is €11,500 above the Standard Range. The additional money buys traction and output; it does not buy a longer official range.
The names and figures are not identical across XPENG’s European markets. The German launch release describes AWD Performance versions rated at 285 kW, or 388 PS, while the Romanian list supplied for the story uses 431 hp for Performance Ultra. A Romanian purchase should be based on the local specification and contract, not on a trim name copied from another country.
PowerX uses a generator, not direct engine drive
PowerX Long Range is a range-extender electric vehicle. Its 1.5-litre petrol engine acts as a generator, while the wheels are driven electrically. The battery is rated at about 37.2 kWh and provides a quoted 215 km of electric range. XPENG gives the model a combined WLTP figure of 1,017 km and the Romanian price is €39,990.
The XPENG Luxembourg configurator lists a 37.25 kWh battery, up to 123 kW DC charging, a 42-litre fuel tank and the same 1,017-km combined WLTP figure. That number should not be read as motorway range without refuelling. On a long trip, generator fuel consumption, speed and weather matter as much as the stored battery energy.
For an owner who can charge at home, the electric portion may cover daily commuting without using the generator. On longer journeys, the petrol unit reduces dependence on public chargers, but it also adds fuel use and a combustion engine to the ownership equation. That distinction is more useful than calling the vehicle simply a hybrid.
The Romanian launch has wider European relevance
XPENG unveiled the L03 globally in Munich in July 2026 and said the launch covered 65 markets. Commercial availability is not identical in all of them. XPENG Germany lists the car from €35,600 and says customer deliveries begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. Official configurators in Belgium and France also show the model and its core specifications.
The Italian XPENG site lists the Standard Range from €34,990, Long Range and PowerX from €37,990, Long Range Ultra from €42,990 and AWD Performance Ultra from €46,990. Those figures are not directly interchangeable with Romania because VAT, transport, local equipment and on-the-road costs differ. A market-by-market comparison needs the same trim and the same price basis.
In the United Kingdom, XPENG has said the L03 price and specification would be confirmed, with deliveries planned for 2027. The car is therefore relevant beyond Romania, but “available in Europe” does not mean “available at one European price”. Buyers considering an import should check warranty coverage, type approval, service access, charging equipment and taxes.
What to check before ordering
The written quotation should identify the battery, wheel size, drive system, official range, delivery date, options, warranty and any charges excluded from the advertised starting price. XPENG Germany announces a seven-year or 160,000-km vehicle warranty and an eight-year or 160,000-km high-voltage battery warranty, but the Romanian partner’s contractual terms should be read separately.
The five Romanian versions serve different use cases. Standard Range is the simplest entry into the range and makes the most sense for regular charging. Long Range Plus prioritises battery capacity. Long Range Ultra adds equipment but gives up some official range because of its wheels. Performance Ultra is the traction and power choice. PowerX is aimed at drivers who want electric daily use without relying exclusively on public charging on long journeys.
