2025 update
The 2025 version of the X9 was revealed on 8 April 2025, with pre-orders opening the same day, and was launched on 15 April.[12][13] XPeng claims the model has 496 component changes, 35% of the components and design have been changed. The exterior features only minor changes, with two new 19 and 20-inch wheel options with 'anti-spinner' stationary hub logos, soft-close front doors, and three new paint colors: Matte Starship Grey, Nebula Purple, and Galaxy Blue.[14][15]
It has been upgraded to come standard with the LiDAR-less Hawk Eye ADAS system first seen in the P7+, so the two bumper mounted LiDARs have been replaced with decorative blanking panels, and teal-colored autonomous driving indicator lights have been added in locations including the side mirrors.[12] The active suspension system became equipped with a '6D AI anti-motion sickness' algorithm that aims to minimize pitching moments and body roll.
The second row seats became equipped have a permanent 165 mm aisle space in between the two captains chair seats, which were previously directly side-by-side. The front two rows became equipped with 14-way power adjustment, heating, ventilation, and 10-point massage functions or optional 16-point massaging, along with the 'zero-gravity' recline mode all as standard. With the new seat design, the 'zero-gravity' mode can operate even when all seats are occupied, as the seats will dynamically adjust to accommodate for each passenger's positioning. The third row seats became standard with a heating function.[9]
XPeng says that various button and trim surfaces have been improved, with some using a physical vapor deposition manufacturing process, and an additional 3.2 m2 of soft-touch surfaces for a total of 26.6 m2.[9] The 21.4-inch rear passenger screen became certified by TÜV Rheinland to have 50% reduced blue light levels and has an adjustable tilt angle of up to 75 degrees. The second row became equipped with a childproofed 220V outlet capable of 2.2kW of output, 50W chargers, and the V2L system's output has been increased to 6kW.[12][14] XPeng claims it made 56 changes to improve NVH characteristics, some of which can be applied to older models through an OTA update.[16]
The powertrain has been updated to use new larger battery packs with faster charging capabilities, while the motor configurations carry over from before. The smaller battery was increased to 94.8kWh and capable of 5C charging, while the larger battery is 105kWh with 3C charging.[9][17] It has a maximum configurable range of 740. km.[14][13]
XPeng is offering 'Hardware OTA' upgrade packages for owners of older models to install some new features, including a paid upgrade for the new 'zero gravity' seat design, the addition of teal autonomous indicator lights, and a free upgrade to the sound insulation.[9][17]
