\n\nThe design team behind XPeng Motor's G3 electric SUV also shared the design concept and journey behind the their newest mass-produced EV at the event held at the Tree Art Museum in Beijing.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9797\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"XPeng$ XPeng Motor's G3 electric SUV design concept and journey event held at the Tree Art Museum in Beijing.

Many of them are graduates from world-class automotive design schools and have worked for other renowned car manufacturers.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9803\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"XPeng$ XPeng Motor's G3 electric SUV.

The vehicle's positioning is “an intelligent vehicle for the young generation,” according to Zhang.\n\nThe G3 electric SUV spots a more aggressive yet high-tech look and shares certain sports car features. Its LED headlights design is inspired by the lightsabers from Star Wars and the tail lights design from the view of the stars in a galaxy. The panoramic windshield gives a sense of traveling in outer space with an unobstructed view.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9801\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"XPeng$ XPeng Motor's G3 electric SUV.

The driver can also control all functions using an intelligent voice system.\n\nOn top of the vehicle is a 1080p camera that acts as the eyes of the vehicle. It can turn 360 degrees to take photos while on a drive and save them to the cloud.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9802\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"XPeng$ XPeng Motor's G3 electric SUV.

This is a great solution to the lack of parking spaces present in many Chinese cities.\n\nXPeng Motors is a Chinese electric self-driving vehicle company established in 2014. Its cofounder and chairman, He Xiaopeng, was also the co-founder of UCWeb Inc. which developed the popular UC Browser.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9800\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"XPeng$ XPeng Motor's G3 electric SUV.

This year, the company plans to raise another 10 billion yuan through equity financing.","publishedDate","2018-07-27T11:32:07.000Z","featured",false,"viewCount",0,"readingTime",4,"status","draft","language","en","featuredImage","featuredImageUrl","http://pandaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/XPeng-G3-1.jpg","categories",[38],{"_11":39,"_40":41,"_15":42,"_43":44,"_45":46},"g4fec3qxgdgpnifg4f4r7n0q","name","Industry","industry","color","#000000","description","","tags",[49,54,58,62,66,70,73],{"_11":50,"_40":51,"_15":52,"_43":53,"_45":46},"h96r38erorswkuuma2h4ecyb","Xpeng G3","xpeng-g3","#6366f1",{"_11":55,"_40":56,"_15":57,"_43":53,"_45":46},"hxpa3ibf0wk0099j1u5jvok2","autonomous driving platform","autonomous-driving-platform",{"_11":59,"_40":60,"_15":61,"_43":53,"_45":46},"a27csecjx8sqir4b4lif5rua","XPeng Motors","xpeng-motors",{"_11":63,"_40":64,"_15":65,"_43":53,"_45":46},"yafwphwwx3fyu2rqztznltt2","G3 EV","g3-ev",{"_11":67,"_40":68,"_15":69,"_43":53,"_45":46},"gp2jz2v1zvbccifs6so9u39i","AI vehicles","ai-vehicles",{"_11":71,"_40":72,"_15":72,"_43":53,"_45":46},"ihdq575akf9utgxe0xhi8da7","high-tech",{"_11":74,"_40":75,"_15":76,"_43":53,"_45":46},"goqjcrwp5nthfrj715zrzmya","UCWeb","ucweb","createdAt","2025-06-24T22:34:24.208Z","updatedAt","2025-06-24T23:49:28.510Z","publishedAt","2025-06-24T23:49:28.558Z","locale","pagination",{"_86":87,"_88":89,"_90":87,"_91":87},"page",1,"pageSize",12,"pageCount","total","currentPage","tag","tagSlug","actionData","errors"]
