XPENG partners with Google Maps to integrate navigation and ADAS in new L03

At an event in Munich, Germany, on July 16, 2026, XPENG announced the simultaneous launch of its new AI SUV coupe, the L03, in 65 countries and regions. It also announced a partnership with Google Maps for vehicles outside China, integrating proprietary navigation using Google Maps Auto SDK with map data services for NGP and XPILOT ASSIST. XPENG said it would be the first automaker in the APAC region to equip its vehicles with Google Maps Auto SDK.

The key point is that the L03 for markets outside China will use the same map platform not only for route guidance but also for NGP and XPILOT ASSIST. According to XPENG, drivers will be able to use the system on the in-car display without connecting a smartphone or installing a separate map app. Through XPENG’s own interface, they can access route-specific energy consumption estimates, charging plans and guidance that takes traffic into account.
