Street Stance and Sculpted Sheetmetal

The XPeng G9 makes a serious first impression with broad shoulders and a sleek roofline on a 4,891 mm chassis, looking more coupé-SUV than boxy family carrier. LED lighting signatures, taut surfaces and a relatively low 1,670–1,680 mm height give it a planted, modern presence that reads upscale at traffic lights. At 1,937 mm wide the G9 feels substantial on the road without appearing unwieldy, a design that signals tech ambition rather than pure off-road intent. This is an SUV built to be seen in urban and motorway environments rather than to tackle rough trails.

Cockpit Crafting and Usability

The cabin pairs a minimalist, tech-forward layout with materials that generally feel a step above mainstream rivals, with soft-touch surfaces and well-bolstered seats for long-distance comfort. A generous expanse of digital display real estate handles instrumentation and infotainment, while physical controls are kept to a minimum to preserve the clean look. Ergonomics aim for simplicity: controls fall to hand, visibility is good and the driving position is tailored for relaxed kilometre-eating rather than sporty tuck. Climate, seat and trim options can lift perceived quality further, so spec choices matter.

Room for People and Things

As a five-seater the G9 delivers genuinely usable rear space thanks to its long footprint and well-shaped seats, making it comfortable for adults on longer trips. The boot starts at a practical 660 litres and can be expanded to a maximum of 1,576 litres with folded rear seats, which means luggage for a family holiday or a flat-pack shopping haul are both easy to manage. Despite curb weights from about 2,210 up to 2,395 kg, the cabin remains airy and storage nooks are sensible, so daily usability is a strong point. Height-conscious buyers should note the G9’s lower roofline compared with boxier SUVs, which slightly reduces rear headroom for taller passengers.

How It Drives: Poise Over Pizzazz

Drive setups span rear-wheel drive with 351 hp and a torquey feel, up to a 575 hp all-wheel-drive Performance variant that shaves 0–100 km/h down to around 4.2 seconds, while the milder RWD versions do 0–100 km/h in the mid 6-second range. The weight explains the composed, planted ride: suspension is tuned for comfort and high-speed stability, with enough agility for confident lane changes but not the last word in corner-carving. Torque figures of roughly 465 Nm for the RWD and 695 Nm for the Performance model translate into strong mid-range shove in everyday overtaking and motorway merges. Top speed is electronically limited to about 200 km/h, which suits the G9’s character as a long-distance cruiser rather than a track toy.

Real-World Range, Efficiency and Battery Sense

The G9 is offered in a Standard Range RWD, Long Range RWD and Performance AWD guise—both RWD variants produce 351 hp with consumption around 18.4–18.6 kWh/100 km and WLTP ranges of roughly 502 km and 585 km respectively, while the 575 hp Performance AWD uses about 20.1 kWh/100 km for an official 540 km range. Battery capacities of approximately 78.2 and 92.2 kWh underpin those figures, which in everyday terms means expect roughly 5–5.5 km per kWh under mixed driving and longer range on steady motorway cruising. The Long Range model is the sensible pick for regular touring or infrequent charging, while the Performance trims trade a bit of efficiency for markedly quicker acceleration. Real-world consumption will vary with load, speed and climate use, so planning charging stops remains part of longer trips.

Smart Assistants and Connected Tech

XPeng outfits the G9 with a modern suite of driver aids and connectivity, offering adaptive cruise, highway assist and advanced parking functions alongside frequent over-the-air software updates that keep the car evolving. Infotainment centers around large, high-resolution displays with smartphone integration and voice control, making navigation and media easy to manage on the move. The system’s responsiveness and app ecosystem will be important to tech-focused buyers, as the cabin experience hinges on software polish as much as hardware. Safety and convenience features aim to reduce fatigue on long runs, reinforcing the G9’s long-distance ambitions.

Who the G9 Suits

The XPeng G9 targets buyers who want a spacious, tech-rich electric SUV with strong real-world range and two clear personalities: an efficient long-range cruiser and a fast, dramatic Performance variant for acceleration seekers. It will appeal to families and tech-savvy drivers who prioritise interior space, digital features and motorway comfort over compact-city nimbleness or hardcore sportiness. Buyers should weigh the extra mass and the need for regular charging on longer journeys against the convenience and low running costs of electric ownership. For shoppers seeking a premium-feeling EV with practical luggage space and genuine long-distance ability, the G9 makes a convincing case.
