XPeng G9

The XPeng G9 (stylized as G9) is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Chinese electric car company XPeng. The G9 was unveiled in November 2021 during the Guangzhou Auto Show and was officially launched in China in the third quarter of 2022. The G9 is the first XPeng product to be conceived and designed from the outset for both domestic Chinese and international markets.[2]

Overview

The XPeng G9 is a 4th product, following the G3 compact crossover, P7 mid-size sedan, and P5 compact sedan. The G9 complies with 5-star safety design standards under new car assessment programs in China and the European Union, as well as the EU's vehicle certification standards known as European Whole Vehicle Type Approval, making the vehicle the first XPeng model to be designed with foreign markets in mind. The G9 also meets the EU's environmental protection requirements, with a reusability rate of more than 85 percent and a recyclable rate exceeding 95 percent, according to XPeng.[2][3]

The XPeng G9 has been developed using the same platform as the P7, for this reason, the wheelbase of both cars will be very similar, between 3 and 3.10 m. Specifically, the XPeng G9 aims to compete directly against models such as the Tesla Model Y, the Nio ES7 and the Li One from Li Auto (based on the wheelbase, 3,000–3,100 mm will be directly competitive for Nio ES8 3,010 mm and Li One 3,010 mm).

The XPeng G9 is equipped with the centralized electronic and electrical architecture of XPeng and XPilot 4.0 advanced driver-assistance system in terms of advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS). The G9 is based on XPeng's own SiC dedicated EV platform making it compatible with the next-generation X-Power superchargers by XPeng for charging up to 200 km in 5 minutes via the 800 volt architecture.[4] The G9 is built on two Nvidia Drive Orin systems-on-a-chip capable of 508 TOPS and delivers AI capabilities that Xmart OS could be continuously upgraded with each over-the-air update. It has the hardware capable of L4 autonomous driving. The G9 uses an 8 million pixel front-view camera and 2.9 megapixel cameras to cover the left and right sides of the vehicle as well as the front and rear views, with lidar sensors embedded in the headlights.[5]

The G9 shares its platform with Volkswagen's ID. UNYX 08.[6]

The G9's powertrain was upgraded in 2025, with increased power, range, and charging speeds. The batteries are now both LFP packs supplied CALB, and both are capable of 5C charging for 10–80% in 12 minutes. Power output of rear-wheel and all-wheel drive models increase to 346 and 567 hp, respectively. Range of each variant increased, with the base variant seeing the biggest increase of 55 km to 625 km CLTC.[7][8][9][10][11]
