For the European launch of the XPeng G9, the flagship model of the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer with an 800-V architecture is now available as a Launch Edition with an attractive price advantage. It is available from XPeng dealers throughout the summer – while supplies last. The fully equipped luxury SUV model includes the premium package worth 3,960 euros. This includes features such as Nappa leather upholstery, massage seats in the front and rear, and the Dynaudio Dolby Atmos sound system. The only option is an electrically retractable tow hitch for 1,260 euros.
Two battery packs with 78.2 and 98 kWh
Characteristic features of the 4.89 m long G9 include its LED-X-Bot front and the dynamic rear layout. Short overhangs at the front and rear signal luxury and sportiness in the SUV body shape. Two drive concepts (RWD and AWD) and two battery packs (78.2 and 98 kWh) are available. The vehicle comes standard with rear-wheel drive. The larger battery option can also be combined with all-wheel drive. The G9, capable of charging up to 300 kW, achieves a maximum WLTP range of 570 km in the Long Range version. The high-voltage battery can be charged from 20 to 80% within 15 minutes, providing a range of 100 km with just 5 minutes of charging.

XPeng in the German Market Since May 2024
After its launch in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the XPeng brand has now also started in Germany in May, through a dealership agreement system.
“Good and EV-affine dealers with decades of market experience are the best sales and service partners and should be the face of our brand for customers. We do not want to limit the entrepreneurial spirit of the dealers, but rather encourage and support it, while benefiting from their qualities and experiences,” said Markus Schrick, Managing Director of XPeng Germany.
Currently, the brand has a dealership network of twelve dealers at 24 locations. By the end of the year, this number is expected to double.
Customers can already choose between the sports sedan P7 and the large SUV G9, which are available for test drives and orders at the dealerships. Starting in August, the electric SUV coupé G6 will be offered as the third model in the popular C-segment.
