XPeng Unveils Flagship G9 Electric Crossover, Will Be Offered In International Markets

XPeng is going global as the company has introduced the all-new G9 at the Guangzhou Auto Show.

Billed as the company’s first model to have been “conceived and designed from the outset for both domestic Chinese and international markets,” the G9 is a flagship SUV that is compliant with Euro NCAP “5-star safety design standards” as well as “stringent EU WVTA vehicle certification standards.”

Putting aside XPeng’s European ambitions, the G9 is a sleek looking crossover that features an evolutionary front fascia. While the design is instantly recognizable, it’s notable for having two LiDAR sensors located beneath the headlights.

Moving further back, we can see streamlined bodywork, flush-mounted door handles and aerodynamic 21-inch wheels. The model also sports a pronounced shoulder line as well as a greenhouse that recalls the Kia Sorrento. Other notable highlights include a panoramic glass roof and black window surrounds that continue all the way through the rear pillar.

The upscale styling continues out back as the G9 features a curvaceous rear end with a slender LED light bar. There’s also a spoiler and a bumper with a gloss black accent.

XPeng was coy on specifications, but confirmed the model has their new XPower 3.0 powertrain. It features 800V technology and a five minute charge will be able to provide up to 124 miles (200 km) of range.

The automaker also revealed the G9 is their first vehicle equipped with the XPILOT 4.0 semi-autonomous driving system. Besides the aforementioned LiDAR sensors, the model has an 8 million pixel front binocular camera and 2.9 million pixel side cameras. Thanks to these various cameras and sensors, the G9 is able to offer “full-scenario assisted smart driving from vehicle start-up to parking.”
