Gasgoo Munich-On August 7 that XPENG announced the G9L, a project initiated three years ago. The vehicle has undergone rigorous testing across 26 countries and regions, navigating complex road conditions and extreme environments worldwide to accumulate over 6.74 million kilometers in test mileage.Earlier, on August 3, XPENG officially unveiled the G9L, a new mid-to-large-size SUV. Positioned as a "global large five-seater technology flagship," the model is described as a "technology benchmark in the RMB 300,000 class."Image Source: XPENGXPENG Chairman He Xiaopeng revealed that when the G9L project was approved three years ago, he tasked the R&D team with building a global large five-seater technology flagship SUV. The objective was clear: establish a technology benchmark in the RMB 300,000 segment and outperform 99% of competitors in its class.The G9L shares core technology foundations in safety, powertrain, and intelligent driving with the XPENG GX. While one offers a large five-seat layout and the other a large six-seat configuration, both are designed as benchmarks tailored to distinct market needs.According to filing information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the XPENG G9L measures 5,120 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and 1,782 mm to 1,795 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,100 mm.The powertrain features a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive layout. The front motor delivers a peak power of 160 kW, while the rear motor offers 270 kW, resulting in a total system output of 430 kW. The top speed is capped at 200 km/h.The G9L offers both battery electric and extended-range powertrain options. The battery electric version comes with either a 91.9 kWh LFP battery or a 110 kWh ternary lithium battery, delivering a CLTC range of 672 to 805 km. It supports 800V ultra-fast charging, capable of adding 450 kilometers of range in 9 minutes. The extended-range version pairs a 1.5T range extender with a 63.3 kWh LFP battery, offering a WLTC electric range of 325 to 350 km.In terms of intelligent driving, the G9L is equipped with 2,250 TOPS of computing power. He Xiaopeng previously stated that the G9L outperforms 99% of vehicles in the RMB 300,000 class, positioning it primarily against the Li Auto L7, NIO ES7, and the Tesla Model Y High Performance.Additionally, the G9L introduces AI active-fit zero-gravity seats globally. These seats sense body changes in real time and actively adapt to different body types and sitting postures, covering nearly 98% of global users. Beyond comfort, they are equipped with ABTS-integrated dual pre-tensioning, force-limiting seatbelts and anti-submarine cushion airbags.
