The Max version will start deliveries after the Chinese New Year holiday in 2025.

The MONA M03 adopts a youthful and modern design, featuring T-shaped headlights that enhance its distinctive appearance. A trapezoidal intake grille with an active air intake system (AGS) contributes to its low drag coefficient of just 0.194 Cd. The model comes in five color options: Starry Sand, Starry Blue, Midnight Black, Nebula White, and Twilight Gray.

As for the side profile, the MONA M03 showcases a fastback silhouette complemented by newly designed, stylish alloy wheels.

The rear also features T-shaped taillights, creating a cohesive look with the front.

The car measures 4,780 mm in length, 1,896 mm in width, and 1,445 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm.

Inside, the MONA M03 is equipped with a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, with an optional digital instrument cluster. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and 16GB of RAM, it features XPENG's self-developed car operating system. The infotainment system supports a 360-degree panoramic camera view and 3D perception mapping, offering real-time rendered 3D views of roads, surrounding buildings, and even specific landmarks like the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) and the National Center for the Performing Arts.

The MONA M03 introduces a new dynamic island-style information display, similar to the iPhone's, and comes with a real-time road condition monitoring system. An app store offers a range of mini-programs. The car's air conditioning vents stretch across the dashboard, and dual cup holders, a wireless charging pad, and storage slots are located in the armrest area. Additional features include digital wooden fish and cyber prayer beads, designed to serve as stress-relief tools for commuting.

Focusing on user-friendly technology, the MONA M03 features a four-zone intelligent voice control system, allowing both front and rear passengers to control various functions independently. It supports 20-second continuous dialogue and multiple commands simultaneously. The audio system boasts 18 PSS custom speakers configured in a 7.1.4 surround sound setup, with integrated music navigation.

Interior color options include Morning Mist Gray, Noon Blue, and Midnight Gray. The MONA M03 offers a large trunk with a capacity of up to 621 liters, easily accommodating one 28-inch suitcase and four 20-inch suitcases without adjusting the seats. With the rear seats folded, the storage space expands to 1,602 liters. A 1.22-square-meter panoramic sunroof, featuring Low-E laminated glass, blocks 99.9% of UV rays and 97.6% of infrared rays.

The MONA M03 comes with over 20 intelligent sensing components, including 2 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and 7 cameras, providing Level 2 advanced driver assistance capabilities and advanced auto-parking features.
