Video Summary
Key findings from the Xpeng G9 review:-It is a mid-size SUV, similar in size to a Lexus RX, BMW iX or Volvo XC90.
-The front seats cannot be moved back to very comfortable positions due to rear passenger space priority.
-There is a frunk for charging cables or a carry-on bag; Volkswagen could copy this.
-The boot has 660 liters, which increases to 1780 liters when the rear seats are down.
-Rear passengers get plenty of legroom, adjustable backrest angle, thigh support length, and massage function.
-All passenger doors have an additional button that can be programmed to mute the media.
-It has a virtual gauge cluster. Many settings are either missing, hard to find, or available only after logging into an Xpeng account.
-Driver assistance systems work okay. Xpilot semiautonomous driving feature needs "hard" activation. Parking sensors show only a moderately accurate measurement.
- The English translation of the owner's manual leaves a lot to be desired.
-On larger bumps, the suspension is not very sophisticated.
-Fast and abrupt maneuvers seem to unsettle the G9.
-It fast charges to 300kW.
-A charge from 10% to 80% occurs in 20 minutes.
-Priced competitively, standard model starts at 59,600 euros; the test car long range with extras cost 68,560 euros.
-Positives include a high-quality interior, a mobile app, and really fast charging.
-Negatives are handling, infotainment menu logic, and having to log in to access basic features.
- Visibility is not perfect; the plastic triangles around the wing mirrors do not help.
