G9L Arrives in Showrooms Nationwide
On August 17, Xpeng confirmed that the G9L crossover has arrived for display at 119 showrooms spanning 19 administrative divisions in China. Zhejiang Province leads with 28 stores featuring the new model. These vehicles are for display purposes only and are not available for immediate sale.
The G9L is presented in a variety of body colors and interior finishes, giving prospective buyers a first look at the model’s design and features.
Design and Interior Highlights
The Xpeng G9L is a large five-seat SUV, measuring 5,120 mm (~202 inches) in length, 1,999 mm (~79 inches) in width, and 1,782 mm (~70 inches) in height, with a wheelbase of 3,100 mm (~122 inches). It features rear-wheel steering, a closed front end with an active air intake, an LED running light strip, and headlights integrated into the front bumper. The SUV rides on 22-inch rims and includes flush door handles, a single taillight unit, and a slightly slanted roofline.
Inside, the G9L offers a 17.3-inch floating central screen, an 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, and an 88-inch augmented reality head-up display. Additional features include a 9-inch streaming rearview mirror, 24-way power-adjusted front seats, a zero-gravity front passenger seat, and a 33-speaker sound system. The seats provide heating, ventilation, and 16-point massage functions. Other amenities include a ceiling-mounted 21.4-inch screen and a 12.5-liter built-in fridge.
Powertrain Options and Performance
The all-electric G9L comes standard with a single rear-mounted electric motor producing 270 kW (362 hp), enabling 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.8 seconds. This version offers up to 702 km (~436 miles) of range from a 91.9 kWh LFP battery. The dual-motor AWD variant adds a 160 kW (215 hp) front motor, for a combined output of 430 kW (577 hp) and a range of up to 660 km (~410 miles) with the same battery. An optional 110 kWh battery pack increases the range to 755 km (~469 miles).
The G9L EREV features dual-motor AWD as standard, with a front motor rated at 160 kW and a rear motor at 230 kW (308 hp), for a total output of 370 kW (496 hp). It accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.95 seconds. A CALB-supplied 63.3 kWh LFP battery provides 435 km (~270 miles) of electric range (CLTC), while a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine (110 kW/148 hp) acts as a generator. With a 60-liter fuel tank, the EREV achieves a total mixed range of 1,602 km (~996 miles) under CLTC conditions.
