According to XPeng, the development of the vehicle was focused on reducing drag on the car. XPeng claims that the model has lowest drag coefficient among the world's mass-produced fully electric hatchbacks at Cd 0.194. The Mona M03 underwent 10 wind tunnel tests of more than 100 hours each, which shaved off Cd 0.085 from the wind resistance leading to a claimed 60 km range increase.[8]
The exterior was originally available in Nebula White, Dark Night Black, and Star Ocean Beige, with Star Twilight Purple, Micro-moon Grey, and Star Rain Green becoming available later with the release of the Max models. The interior is available in Morning Fog Grey or Night Grey, with Dawn Purple available exclusively with the Star Twilight Purple paint color.
