Competitor Comparison

We selected three all-electric models within a price range of 1,500 USD compared to the XPeng MONA M03 and compared their officially released specifications. The analysis reveals that the XPeng MONA M03 demonstrates advantages in range, charging capability, interior space, and configuration when compared with similar-class electric vehicles.
  1. Range and Energy Consumption The MONA M03 achieves a CLTC range of 515 km, outperforming Volkswagen ID.3, Qin PLUS EV and Geely Geometry G6. With an energy consumption of just 11.5 kWh/100 km, it shows excellent efficiency—lower than rival models—and ranks among the best in its class for both range and energy efficiency.
  2. Charging Performance The fast-charging time is only 0.43 hours, faster than the Volkswagen ID.3 (0.75 hours) and the Qin PLUS EV and Geely Geometry G6 (both 0.5 hours). This gives the MONA M03 a leading edge in refueling efficiency among the compared models.
  3. Power Performance Delivering a maximum power output of 140 kW (190 PS), the MONA M03 stands out in its segment, exceeding Volkswagen ID.3, Qin PLUS EV and Geely Geometry G6 and better meeting dynamic driving demands.
  4. Space & Practicality With dimensions of 4780 x 1896 x 1445 mm, the MONA M03 offers a size advantage over the other three models. Its trunk capacity can flexibly expand from 600 to 1600 liters—significantly surpassing competitors—demonstrating outstanding spatial practicality.
  5. Tech Features The driver assistance camera system includes not only a rearview camera but also a 360-degree panoramic view, transparent view, and side blind-spot monitoring. This comprehensive suite exceeds the Volkswagen ID.3, which only offers a rearview camera, and the Qin PLUS EV, which lacks a transparent view system, making the MONA M03’s imaging system more advanced.
  6. Comfort & Convenience The MONA M03 features a fixed panoramic sunroof, while the other three models offer no sunroof at all. Both front driver and passenger seats are power-adjustable, giving it an advantage over the Geely Geometry G6, which only provides power adjustment for the driver’s seat. Additionally, it offers three USB / Type-C ports in the front and two in the rear—more than any of the other three models—providing greater convenience for in-cabin charging.
Summary
The Xpeng MONA M03 excels in range, energy efficiency, charging speed, interior space, and equipment level. However, it does have a few drawbacks: its top speed of 155 km/h is slightly lower than the Volkswagen ID.3’s 160 km/h; its peak torque of 225 N·m falls short of the ID.3’s 310 N·m; and its battery capacity of 51.8 kWh is smaller than the ID.3’s 53.6 kWh and the Qin PLUS EV’s 57.6 kWh. Nevertheless, considering its overall strong and well-rounded performance, the XPeng MONA M03 emerges as a highly competitive choice within its all-electric vehicle segment.

Positive Feedback

Excellent Overall Space

Summary: The trunk offers strong storage capacity, the passenger space is spacious, and there is ample usable space.
  1. "The front seat of the XPeng MONA M03 is spacious enough for me to enjoy comfortably on my own."
  2. "The hatchback design gives the trunk a large and bright usable space! This is my favorite feature!"

Outstanding Range and Power Performance

Summary: The vehicle delivers reliable and solid range, effectively reducing range anxiety.
  1. "The range is truly solid—shows 458 km on a full charge in the city, which is more than enough."
  2. "I'm very satisfied with the range; it meets my expectations, and that's the main reason I bought this car."

Good Driving Experience

Summary: Offers excellent driving feel, resulting in a more comfortable and enjoyable drive.
  1. "Personally, I think the driving feel is quite good—it actually makes me want to drive."
  2. "I previously test-drove the BYD Seagull 06 and Geely Galaxy E5. After comparing them all, I find the XPeng M03 offers the most comfortable and pleasantly surprising driving experience."

Negative Feedback

Limited Rear Seat Space

Summary: The rear cabin feels somewhat cramped, affecting comfort.
  1. "The rear space isn't great—the front center console is too wide, making it hard to stretch your legs. Tall or heavier individuals should think twice before buying."
  2. "The space is inadequate; rear passengers have said they feel uncomfortable after long rides."

Thin Paint That Chips Easily

Summary:The paint is relatively thin and prone to chipping upon minor scratches or impacts.
  1. "Even after very light bumps, the paint chips quite badly— I feel the paint adhesion isn't strong."
  2. "The paint isn't very thick, so you might want to consider applying a paint protection film."

Noticeable Tire Noise

Summary:The vehicle's sound insulation is lacking, resulting in significant road noise, which somewhat detracts from the driving experience.
  1. "Sound insulation is average, and tire noise is loud, so interior noise is not insignificant."
  2. "Tire noise is quite noticeable during driving."
