Xpeng has whipped the covers off the new Mona M03, an affordable and compact electric sedan that takes aim at the Tesla Model 3. At first glance, the Mona M03 appears to be a stylish but perfectly normal EV. However, Xpeng claims it is the most aerodynamic production sedan ever, with a claimed Cd figure of 0.194. That's remarkable and places it ahead of other slippery four-doors, such as the YangWang U6 (0.196 Cd), Lucid Air (Cd = 0.197), and Mercedes EQS Sedan (Cd = 0.20).
