Grand in every way, except price
How often does it happen that a completely new car brand enters the market? Meet XPENG, a technology company with a clear vision and a clear objective to make mobility safe, clean and also luxurious and affordable. The new XPENG G9, a full size SUV, is a perfect example of this. Equipped with every conceivable luxury, the advanced Xpilot 2.5 driver assistance system developed by XPENG itself and with a range of up to 570 kilometers.
It takes no more than five minutes to recharge 100 kilometers of range with the XPENG G9. The smart 800-volt technology makes this possible, so you can recharge enough during a coffee stop to travel 300 kilometers or more afterwards. But first, let’s talk about his appearance. Based on the idea that you only get one chance to make a good first impression, the international design team at XPENG designed an SUV that is not only robust and muscular, but also chic and refined.
Plenty of living space
Get behind the wheel of the air-suspended XPENG G9 and you land in an oasis of luxury and tranquility. A stripped-down basic version does not exist with XPENG. Gently pull the door shut and an electric motor then closes silently. It goes without saying that the seats are electrically adjustable. There is also plenty of room for the three rear passengers on the heated rear seat with adjustable backrests and the luggage compartment measures no less than 660 liters, with a frunk of 71 liters in the front. One of the few options is an electric folding towbar that can be connected to 1,500 kg.
Standard XPENG Surround Sound System
The infotainment system with Xmart OS is the heart of the interior, where the two 14.96-inch screens and the 10-inch instrument panel immediately catch the eye. You have access to all functions via the ‘Hey XPENG’ voice assistant and you can enjoy your favorite music via Spotify, for example, via the XPENG Surround Sound System.

If you want to take the interior decoration and the audio system to an even higher level, there is the Premium Comfort & Audio Pack. This consists of nappa leather upholstery, the well-known Dynaudio Confidence Sound System with Dolby Atmos, extra adjustment options for the front seats and the rear seats and a massage function on four seats.
Xpilot 2.5
The Xpilot 2.5 safety and assistance system developed by XPENG itself is simply brilliant. This works with five radars, twelve ultrasonic sensors, four surround view cameras, seven high-sensitivity cameras and an in-car camera. Xpilot 2.5 includes adaptive cruise control, active lane keeping assistance, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, blind spot detection, intelligent high beam and it even warns of crossing traffic behind the car when you reverse onto the road. In addition, Xpilot 2.5 can park independently.
