So, then guys, this here is the new

0:03

Xpeng L03,

0:06

and this is a hell of a car. It is super

0:08

affordable what Xpeng are saying here,

0:11

and it's going to redefine AI inside of

0:15

a car at an affordable price. So, let's

0:18

see if this actually does deliver today.

0:22

So, with that, what Xpeng believe in

0:24

their vision right now is that people

0:26

just don't want to compare specs

0:28

anymore. What actually people want to do

0:31

is that they want to have a great design

0:33

car, as we can see right here, but they

0:35

also want practicality and something

0:38

affordable and also gives you the latest

0:41

and greatest tech and being super

0:43

comfortable. And let's start out with

0:45

the design first of all. So, this car

0:48

has actually been designed by Jamar

0:50

López, and if you've heard of him, he

0:52

used to design cars for Ferrari, and he

0:55

actually worked here with Xpeng to

0:57

create this car right here, and it looks

1:00

absolutely stunning. Just starting out

1:04

here right at the front of the car, just

1:06

look at these gorgeous headlights we've

1:08

got right here. We've got obviously, you

1:09

know, LED here. They are absolutely

1:13

amazing. They're like starship kind of

1:15

sort of design here. We've also got a

1:17

great front here as well, and also what

1:20

I absolutely love about this is actually

1:22

the drag of this car. So, for

1:24

aerodynamics, it only comes in at 0.228.

1:29

What's absolutely amazing with it. What

1:32

I also love with this car as well is

1:35

it's lovely sort of sloppy design what

1:38

we are getting with this. We're also

1:40

getting thing here like faceless kind of

1:43

mirrors as well, and all the sensors and

1:45

everything, they're all hidden away

1:47

really well, and it just looks

1:49

absolutely stunning. I also love like

1:52

the door handles like we have right

1:54

here. They're kind of nice and neat that

1:56

they actually stick in. And again,

1:57

helping with the aerodynamics

2:00

that we have with this car. And then

2:02

obviously things like the alloy wheels,

2:05

they absolutely look absolutely

2:07

stunning, too. They don't look too

2:09

gimmicky or a bit too weird. They

2:11

actually do look really awesome. And the

2:13

standard wheels what you actually get

2:15

with this car, if we're talking about

2:16

that, and that's they actually come with

2:17

a standard 18-in here. But, you can

2:20

actually go for the ultra version of

2:21

this car, and they will come with 20-in

2:24

alloys. And plus, there's also a black

2:27

edition that will give you black alloys,

2:29

too. But, it's not just that if you want

2:31

black, there's also some great colors as

2:33

well. Just like how we got this gorgeous

2:35

purple color here. This is a special

2:37

edition new color being added to the

2:39

range. And there's also a rock gray

2:41

color as well what you can also upgrade

2:44

and get. But, there's also the standard,

2:46

you know, white and black colors, too.

2:48

What is really, really awesome. And the

2:50

next question you might be asking about

2:51

is what about practicality? Because

2:53

obviously this SUV car has, you know,

2:55

quite sportier design and things. But,

2:57

funny enough, the actual trunk size,

3:00

boot size, wherever you are in the

3:01

world, actually has a great size. Now,

3:04

in China they measure the boots a bit

3:06

different to what we have like in the UK

3:08

and the US. But, in UK sort of liters,

3:12

we actually get 500 liters of space

3:14

about here. It's a bit different like I

3:16

said in the China, but to be deadly

3:17

honest, if this was your sort of starter

3:20

family kind of car, I would say this is

3:23

more than enough that you could easily

3:24

get a couple of the cases in here to get

3:27

going, to go on your vacation, to go on

3:29

your holiday. There is more than enough

3:31

space in here. Of course, there's

3:33

obviously the removable parcel shelf,

3:35

things like this. There's also the boot

3:37

space. There's a bit more extra space

3:39

down here for your cables and whatnot.

3:41

And then obviously there's a few little

3:42

cabby little holes and bits and pieces,

3:44

too. But, overall, it's absolutely

3:46

amazing. And then also, if you want some

3:48

more space, the great thing is is that

3:50

with the practicality what you have

3:52

right here, this car's actually got a 40

3:54

60 40 split. So, you could even just

3:57

drop down just this middle bar here if

3:59

you're going skiing or something like

4:00

that. So, yeah, gives you that

4:02

practicality, too. But, with that, let's

4:04

actually have a look a closer look now

4:06

on the inside of this car. And for

4:08

comfort-wise with this car, it is

4:10

really, really great. I'm just getting

4:11

in now and yeah, it's lovely inside of

4:14

here. I love it how airy it is in here.

4:17

I feel super comfortable in these seats.

4:20

And talk about these seats as well, you

4:22

actually do get ventilated seats and

4:24

heated seats as well. There's also a

4:27

massage function, too. Um you get more

4:30

if you pick the ultra version of this

4:31

car, which is quite cool. But, you

4:33

obviously still get the standard kind of

4:34

lumbar support and things like this. And

4:36

we also got some great things. We've

4:38

also got things like a heads-up display

4:40

in front as well. We've got a nice big

4:42

over 15-in display here, too. I'll talk

4:45

about in just a moment. We've also got

4:47

your usual kind of practicality sort of

4:49

things where actually can do your kind

4:52

of wireless charging for your phone as

4:54

you go. And as you can imagine, you've

4:55

got Android Auto and you've also got

4:57

CarPlay as standard all built into this

5:00

car. There's also some great technology

5:03

with the screen. As you can imagine, you

5:05

can do a loads of bits and pieces.

5:07

Obviously, you've got your little

5:07

shortcuts and everything here on the

5:09

screen. So, you can adjust your mirrors,

5:11

your heads-up display, how you want

5:13

that, your headlights, everything. You

5:15

can also do your things like your

5:16

windows as well, all in here. So, this

5:19

is really, really great. But, the other

5:21

cool thing I love about this is actually

5:22

you've got Google Maps actually built in

5:25

to this, too. And the great thing is is

5:28

that you could be driving along and you

5:29

could just connect your Google account

5:31

to it and it's actually just synced with

5:33

it. You didn't actually even have to use

5:34

the things like CarPlay or Android Auto.

5:37

But, not just only that, you can got

5:39

loads of other bits and pieces that you

5:41

can fiddle around with. You've got your

5:43

like cameras, your 360 cameras and

5:45

things like this. You can fiddle around

5:47

with. You've also got your charging and

5:48

discharging different bits and pieces.

5:51

More on that a little bit later. Driving

5:53

assistance as well, which is really,

5:55

really great. All your usual bits and

5:56

pieces. I've even been told with the

5:58

driving assistance there's other things

6:00

like extras like for example if your

6:02

tires were to blow out as it were that

6:05

the actual tires the car can actually

6:06

control itself. This is only on the

6:08

ultra version. But the main reason

6:10

behind all of this with this car is all

6:13

due to its actual AI chip what is built

6:17

into this. It actually has a Turing AI

6:20

chip with 750 tops AI processing. That's

6:25

three AI processors inside of this. So

6:28

that is absolutely incredible.

6:31

There's also some other great cool

6:33

things as well. There's like parking

6:34

assistance also built in. You can

6:36

actually customize what you want. And

6:38

the main reason why you can customize

6:39

how you want to park is this car can

6:41

remember the last 100 m that you've just

6:45

driven. So that is absolutely amazing.

6:48

That's a roundabout I think about 330 ft

6:51

with that. And so it can remember with

6:53

that it's got a memory for it. So this

6:55

means if you skipped over a couple of

6:57

car park spaces as you're driving down

6:59

and then you come across another one you

7:01

go ah I need to reverse back but I don't

7:03

think I can do that. The car can

7:05

actually do that. On the screen you can

7:06

actually pick which you know car park

7:09

car park space you want and it will

7:10

reverse back to it. The other cool thing

7:13

this car also has is the ability to see

7:15

it with using the lights of a smartphone

7:17

is that you can also at the same time

7:19

call your car out of a space what's also

7:22

really useful too. And then also with

7:25

this car there's lots of practicality

7:27

built into it. Like I said you've got

7:29

sort of thing where you can charge your

7:30

phones down here. You've also got a nice

7:32

big space down here. You've also got the

7:34

big space underneath here to store

7:37

everything all your bits and pieces. Two

7:39

great cup holders and then also in the

7:42

side here, you've also got another big

7:44

space to put other bits and pieces, some

7:46

chargers in here, USB and USB-C chargers

7:49

inside of there. What is really cool,

7:52

too. The other thing I'd also just want

7:54

to mention here is at the very front of

7:56

the car, just here, you may have noticed

7:58

this little silver thing here. This

8:00

thing here, in the future, you'll be

8:02

able to buy accessories for this car,

8:04

where you could even set up, say, a

8:05

GoPro to look at the front of the car,

8:08

or if you want it, you could have it

8:09

looking at you as you're driving, and

8:10

you could make a vlog or something like

8:12

this. So, this is also really awesome.

8:15

The other thing I just want to mention

8:16

about this car is also the actual trim

8:19

level on the inside. There are two

8:20

colors. There is actually like a light

8:22

gray, and this is There's also a dark

8:24

gray. And also having this kind of big

8:26

windshield on the top here, the one that

8:28

will obviously the big panoramic roof,

8:30

this also really does help to let in a

8:33

lot of light. So, it is really airy,

8:35

really bright inside of here. But at the

8:37

same time as well, it does feel great to

8:39

sit in a great sort of like um sort of a

8:42

compact sort of mode here. So, yeah, it

8:44

is really, really awesome, too.

8:46

But then the big question you might be

8:48

asking about is what about the range

8:50

with this car? How much juice do we get?

8:52

Well, the batteries inside of it,

8:53

there's two options what you got. There

8:55

is a 58.3

8:58

kW battery on the standard version, but

9:01

if you decide to go for like a more sort

9:03

of the one that's more efficient, the

9:05

one that actually gives you a bit more

9:06

range, the long range version, that

9:08

gives you 72.1

9:10

kW battery inside. And again, with that,

9:14

there's also a performance mode, which

9:16

gives you all-wheel drive, and obviously

9:18

that bigger battery, too. Well, with the

9:21

standard version, you get 445

9:24

km, or you get 525

9:27

km for the long range. And if you go for

9:29

the performance one, you get about 440

9:31

km. Now, I said there was a little party

9:34

trick about this car. And like I said, a

9:36

lot of people have got a massive anxiety

9:38

about battery cuz straight away you're

9:40

going to think about that in kilometers.

9:41

Well, that's not enough really. And even

9:43

in miles, you're talking about 300 miles

9:46

in the 300 range. And people going,

9:47

"Well, I've got a car right now what

9:50

could do me, I don't know, could do me

9:51

about 800 km or could do me about 600

9:54

miles or something like this." But, like

9:57

I said, there is a party trick. What

10:00

this car has got inside of it, it's got

10:02

a generator. It is not

10:05

car, it is a generator. And what this

10:07

generator can do in this car is

10:10

something quite special. What it can

10:12

actually do is charge the actual battery

10:16

as you're driving, and it can also at

10:18

the same time give power to the engine.

10:21

So, you hear me out there? At the same

10:22

time, you can charge the battery and

10:24

also power the actual wheels via the

10:28

electric motor what's in here, the

10:29

generator. The generator doesn't send

10:31

any power directly to the wheels, it

10:33

sends it to the electric motor. And the

10:36

great thing is with this generator, it

10:39

can take up to 42 L

10:42

of fuel inside of the tank, and combine

10:45

this with your actual range if you were

10:47

to fully charge up the car. On the range

10:49

long-range one, you can get over 1,000

10:52

km, which is absolutely crazy. Or

10:55

actually over 750

10:58

miles with that. And that is what makes

11:01

this car absolutely stunning. It's not

11:05

too big. Obviously, it's 4.6 m long, but

11:08

this is the cool thing. Other bigger

11:10

cars right now, they can kind of give

11:13

that kind of example of how much range

11:15

they could with a hybrid. But for a

11:17

smaller car like this size, and it's so

11:20

affordable too to actually have that,

11:22

that is absolutely stunning and

11:24

absolutely remarkable to have it. So, if

11:27

you did have any battery anxiety issues

11:30

or anything like that, I wouldn't worry

11:32

anymore. You are going to get over 1,000

11:34

km or over 700 mi of range with this.

11:39

And of course, what you can also do is

11:40

obviously top up that 42 L whenever you

11:43

want to. And then obviously, if you do

11:44

find a charger, you can also charge up

11:46

your car as well. And just in case you

11:48

wanted to know about charging, well,

11:50

obviously, you do have AC and you do

11:52

have DC charging. And this is where it's

11:53

crazy. Even though it does have that

11:55

slightly smaller battery and everything,

11:57

this can actually charge at 236

12:00

kW. You could actually charge the car

12:03

from 20% 80% in around 20 minutes if you

12:08

use a fast charger that was compatible

12:10

with that. What's absolutely incredible

12:13

to actually get alongside that to

12:15

actually charge up your car. So,

12:17

overall, the L03 is a fantastic car what

12:21

you've got here. You've got this

12:22

gorgeous styling for an SUV, what I

12:25

absolutely love. Designed by somebody

12:27

from Ferrari. You've got great

12:30

practicality for this size, too. You've

12:33

also got loads of technology built

12:37

inside to help you out. Great

12:40

aerodynamics. And then on top of that as

12:42

well, if you've got battery anxiety,

12:44

like I said, you have got that ability

12:47

now where you've actually got a

12:48

generator inside what can actually give

12:51

you over 1,000 km with it. And plus,

12:55

even if you just wanted to just charge

12:57

it, too, obviously, like I said, you can

13:00

charge this car from, you know, 20% 80%

13:03

in just 20 minutes. So, overall, I for

13:07

one am super excited for this car to

13:10

come out now. It's been out in China,

13:12

but it's now obviously coming out to the

13:14

likes of Europe and the UK. And I for

13:16

one cannot wait to actually test drive

13:18

one of these properly. And I am super

13:21

excited for it. But on that note then,

13:23

guys, what do you think of the XPeng

13:25

L03? I would love to know your thoughts

13:28

on it, too. Is this a car that you would

13:30

consider getting or not? Let me know in
