Since the MONA series went on sale two years ago, cumulative deliveries have exceeded 350,000 units, with average monthly deliveries exceeding 14,000 units. Among them, the MONA M03 has ranked first in sales in the 100,000-200,000 yuan pure electric sedan segment for 24 consecutive months; the MONA L03 made its global debut and launched in Munich in July this year, with order performance exceeding expectations and setting a new historical high for the brand's orders. From the MONA M03 to the MONA L03, the MONA series continues to target young users worldwide, delivering product experiences with high style, high configuration, and high intelligence, and has gradually grown into a trend symbol for young people globally.
As the third model in the MONA series, the MONA L05 continues the family's vision of building cars for young people and is positioned as an intelligent fashionable large five-seat SUV. The birth of the MONA L05 stems from XPENG's precise insight into young people's demand for large five-seat SUVs. As car-use scenarios become increasingly diversified, large five-seat SUVs are no longer exclusive to traditional family users; more and more young people desire more spacious and flexible space while being unwilling to compromise on style or intelligence.
To this end, XPENG developed the car around three core needs of young people: "It must be big, but beautifully big," "It must be refined, and even more so a comfortable and versatile space," and "It must be intelligent, and even more so top-tier intelligent," creating a large five-seat SUV that truly matches young people's aesthetics. At the launch event, MONA spokesperson and owner Ouyang Nana became a MONA product manager, sharing her comprehensive impressions of the MONA L05 through a short film.
Derived from top luxury car design aesthetics, creating a beautifully big symbol of youthful fashion
As young people's first large five-seat SUV, the MONA L05 breaks the traditional design logic that SUV space and styling can only choose one, achieving the coexistence of fashionable, dynamic styling and space. The new car was jointly created by former Ferrari exterior design head JuanMa Lopez and a post-2000s styling team, continuing the MONA family's "Vital Flow" design philosophy. With a golden-ratio body featuring a 0.6 axle-length ratio, a low-slung stance, and a wide body, combined with a minimalist side profile, high waistline tailoring, and full, rounded muscular surfaces, it replaces redundant piling with warm, smooth curves, making the whole vehicle big but not clumsy, and beautifully big.
The new car continues the MONA family design language. The family-style starship headlights adopt an arrayed parametric design, presenting a technological texture with 190 LED lamp beads and double-layer three-dimensional laser-engraved textures; the ultra-red through-type star ring taillights are composed of more than 300 ultra-red LED lamp beads with a wavelength of ≥650nm, combining texture and high recognizability. In terms of wheels, the 18-inch low-drag wheels optimize driving drag while maintaining good looks, bringing better range performance; the 20-inch five-spoke sport wheels, paired with fluorescent yellow caliper covers, enhance the vehicle's refinement and recognizability with simple, powerful contours and eye-catching accent color.
In terms of color, the MONA L05 offers 6 fashionable exterior colors: Fairy Green, Crystal Black, Roland Purple, Nebula White, Misty Moon Gray, and Crescent Silver, and introduces two classic, enduring interior color schemes: Deep Space Gray and Majestic Gray, creating a fashion symbol for young people. The new car also launches the ROAM version native theme package, including exclusive 20-inch wheels and caliper covers in the same color family as the body, and provides three exclusive interior themes for the three exterior colors Fairy Green, Roland Purple, and Misty Moon Gray; with ROAM lettering on the fender, seat headrests, and center console, it highlights a unique identity tag; at the same time, it is equipped with customized infotainment themes and ambient lighting themes. After switching by voice to the exclusive "Time Roaming" theme, Xiao P simultaneously changes into a "Space Travel" limited skin, bringing a sense of exclusivity into every detail.
Refined cabin texture fully elevated, class-leading intelligent comfort features all equipped at once
The MONA L05 creates a 300,000-yuan-class light luxury intelligent cabin for young users, balancing refined texture and practical ingenuity. The double-layer floating instrument panel adopts fully rounded corner design with leather and 3D Mesh soft wrapping, looking warm and feeling soft; 256-color light waterfall ambient lighting surrounds the entire cabin, with a light strip length of over 4.6 meters, supporting AI light tracking, multi-color music rhythm, zoned contrasting colors, and multi-color large-screen linkage, fully elevating the atmosphere; practical designs such as hidden electric front air vents, a dual-satellite-button sport steering wheel, and an oversized soft-light beauty mirror are all included, fully considering young people's car-use preferences.
In addition, the MONA L05 interior uses light luxury premium materials, with soft-wrapped interior area exceeding 74%, paired with a velvet headliner, so everything you touch is soft and everything you look up at is premium.
At the same time, the MONA L05 breaks young users' misconception of "good enough is enough" and provides a full set of class-leading intelligent comfort features. In terms of seats, the entire vehicle is equipped with cloud-feel comfortable seats, delivering a balanced and gentle ride experience comparable to 300,000-yuan-class configurations; fully equipped comfort front row, flagship-level AI active fitting for the driver, 14-point massage zero-gravity front passenger seat, and an 11° electrically adjustable sofa-like rear row mean that whether on long journeys or daily short trips, every occupant in the car can enjoy a relaxed and pleasant ride experience.
The new car is also equipped with a front 17.3-inch 3K central control large screen and a 17.3-inch eye-protection sky entertainment screen. The dual intelligent interaction large screens, combined with a 20-speaker AI audio system, allow front and rear rows to enjoy immersive drama watching and karaoke. It is also equipped with AI intelligent air conditioning, which can sense in-cabin temperature and occupant positions, intelligently adjust temperature by zone, and deliver air as needed, balancing comfort and energy consumption optimization.
In terms of cabin quietness, the complete sound insulation and noise reduction solution isolates external driving noise, creating a peaceful and pleasant interior space, with the overall cabin experience aligned with 300,000-yuan-class luxury models.
Flexible and versatile large space, meeting young people's diversified travel expectations
With an 87% super high room utilization rate, the MONA L05 creates young people's mobile large flat-floor home. The front row has 1030mm of headroom and a 555mm seat cushion length, while the dual 1-meter rear row provides 1010mm of headroom and 1063mm of effective legroom, allowing even a 1.9-meter-tall person to sit comfortably.
At the same time, the MONA L05 also has outstanding loading capacity, with 804L of front and rear trunks, so even with 5 people and 9 boxes, there is no need to split into separate cars. Among them, the rear trunk has a regular volume of 702L, and with a "3 one-meter" design featuring a 1094mm opening width, 1015mm inner cabin width, and 1015mm depth, it can simultaneously fit three 20-inch folding bicycles; after the rear seats are folded down, it can expand to 1913L, easily accommodating camping gear and outdoor sports equipment; the 102L flat front trunk is physically isolated from the cabin, waterproof and odor-proof, and comes with drainage holes for easier cleaning.
In terms of storage, the MONA L05 has 41 storage spaces throughout the vehicle, including 30 storage spaces in the cabin, such as a 10L rear row drawer, a double-layer armrest console, and a 9.3L armrest box, keeping small items organized and in place. The 22 expansion interfaces in the car cover 5 1/4-inch standard threaded interfaces and 8 magnetic attachment points, with a vast ecosystem of accessories for free customization, practical and fun. The roof also reserves roof rack interfaces, with a maximum load of 75kg, providing space for large equipment such as luggage, skis, and kayaks.
For large five-seat SUVs, large space is basic, and flexibility is the core competitiveness. Aiming at young users' diversified car-use and travel scenarios, the MONA L05 turns large space into young people's mobile comfort zone. The front seats can be folded flat with one touch, and with sunshades and seat ventilation, heating, and massage, it instantly becomes a one-person nap pod; the driver and front passenger seats can recline at a large angle backward, turning into a two-person massage lounge chair, allowing rest and relaxation at will; the spacious cabin, paired with dual intelligent interaction large screens, a 17.3-inch eye-protection sky entertainment screen, and a 20-speaker panoramic sound system, instantly turns into a multi-person party entertainment room for a few friends.
At the launch event, a creative short film featuring MONA spokesperson and owner Ouyang Nana was played. Ouyang Nana became a MONA product manager, vividly demonstrating how the MONA L05 fits young people's colorful daily lives, from stylish photo-ready looks and relaxed solo rest, to traveling with pets, large-capacity loading, and gatherings with friends.
Anchoring young users' intelligent essentials, top-tier intelligent strength ranks in the first tier
Intelligence has become a core essential for contemporary young people when buying cars, and more than half of MONA's young users have developed the habit of using intelligent driving every day. The MONA L05 upholds the MONA series' philosophy of intelligent equality, allowing young people's first large five-seat SUV to deliver first-tier intelligent experience.
In terms of intelligent assisted driving, the MONA L05 is equipped with XPENG Turing second-generation VLA model, achieving a comprehensive leap of "understanding longer, predicting earlier, responding faster": it supports up to 30 seconds of effective temporal sequence, can simulate scenarios 6 seconds into the future, improves end-to-end response speed by 300%, and enhances multi-dimensional comprehensive safety capability by 20 times, upgrading intelligent driving from "see what happens and then decide what to do" to spatiotemporal-level understanding that combines the past and predicts the future, making complex road conditions more calm and safer to navigate.
Specifically, the MONA L05 offers two versions, Max and Ultra SE. Among them, the Ultra SE version is equipped with two Turing AI chips, with effective computing power reaching 1500 TOPS, supports the XPENG Turing second-generation VLA model, and ranks in the global first tier in intelligent driving capability; the Max version is equipped with one Turing AI chip, with effective computing power reaching 750 TOPS, and carries the XPENG Turing second-generation VLA Lite model, also delivering intelligent assisted driving experience comparable to 500,000-yuan-class flagship models.

Based on the self-developed Omni multimodal foundation, it natively supports voice, visual, and text multimodal input, and has stronger intent understanding and cross-domain overall scheduling capabilities. Xiao P will evolve into a super intelligent agent, understanding you better and being easier to use, supporting fuzzy navigation search, complex itinerary planning, voice adjustment of itineraries, and natural language communication—whether it is an expression of feeling such as "it's a bit stuffy in the car," or a multi-stage itinerary like "first pick up a friend, then go to the mall, and finally go home," it can all be easily handled in one sentence.
One car with dual capabilities balancing near and far, global standards with all-dimensional verification, safe and easy to drive with full-journey protection
The MONA L05 was adapted and developed according to global standards, with verification conducted for 65 countries and regions worldwide, and cumulative test mileage exceeding 5 million kilometers, ensuring it meets global operating conditions.
Relying on global development standards, the new car builds an all-dimensional safety protection system.
