However, in recent years, major car companies have begun to let go of themselves in the naming of models, but as long as the new cars with the name "9" can basically be regarded as the flagship models of each company, such as Denza D9, Extreme Krypton 009, Xiaopeng G9, Ideal L9, etc., and then there will be another wave of flagship models with the name of "9", in addition to domestic production, there is no shortage of joint ventures. NIO ET9

During NIO Day 2023, NIO officially released a new flagship executive sedan, ET9, with a pre-sale price of 800,000 yuan, which will be delivered in the first quarter of 2025 against traditional luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series.

Question M9
Official selling price: 4698-56.980,000 yuan
Luo Yonghao once said that the hammer mobile phone may be the best mobile phone in the Eastern Hemisphere, the original bold declaration is now not worth mentioning in front of domestic cars, such as the ideal L9 is known as the best SUV within 5 million, and the question world M9 is on the next level, Yu Chengdong bluntly said that it is the best SUV within 10 million, but its final starting price is less than 500,000, which belongs to giving benefits to the family.
As the flagship model of the brand, the size of the M9 is positioned as a large SUV, with a length, width and height of 5230 1999 1800mm and a wheelbase of 3110mm. The interior of the new car adopts a minimalist style, with a large triple screen occupying the main body of the center console, a new HarmonyOS 4 intelligent cockpit built-in, and an on-board heating and cooling box at the armrest box, which supports temperature control from 3 degrees to 50 degrees. Naturally, the new car is also equipped with a series of new technologies, such as Huawei's Turing intelligent chassis, including air suspension, CDC shock absorber, road perception prediction, etcAt the same time, it is equipped with a basalt body, including an integrated die-cast rear body, hot-stamping steel, etc.
At the power level, the peak power of the drive motor of the M9 pure electric version is 160kW and 230kW respectively, and the extended range version is equipped with 1The 5T engine has a maximum power of 112kW, and the matching dual motors have a maximum power of 165kW and 200kW respectively, and is equipped with a ternary lithium battery from CATL. If you really want to say that the M9 is an SUV within 10 million, it is definitely an exaggeration, after all, this is just a means of publicity, but if you want to put it within 500,000, its competitiveness is still very strong, what do you think?
Xpeng x9
Pre-sale price: 38800,000 yuan
After the launch of Xpeng G6, with its steady sales, Xpeng finally got rid of the previous predicament and had the energy to develop new models, such as the Xpeng X9 that will be launched on New Year's Day in 2024, and it can be seen from the naming of the number "9" that the new car will be Xpeng's MPV flagship, and the goal is directly aimed at the ideal MEGA.
Compared with MEGA's extremely rounded foreign countries, Xiaopeng X9 is the other extreme, the front face can see Xiaopeng's family style, but the body lines are angular, especially the suspended roof with a large angle inclined parking space, quite avant-garde sci-fi style, its length, width and height are 5293 1988 1785mm, wheelbase is 3160mm. The interior design is decent, but the new car will be equipped with the XOS Dimensity intelligent cockpit system, which adopts a 2+2+3 layout, of which the second row is two independent seats, and the rear row has an independent air conditioning control area, which is worth looking forward to. In addition, Xpeng X9 will also undertake the core technologies of the global 800V, front and rear integrated aluminum die-casting, XNGP and other core technologies of the rocking architecture, and is the only MPV model in the world with standard rear-wheel steering, so there is no need to worry about the overall strength.
In terms of power, the Xpeng X9 will be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, with the former having a maximum power of 235 kilowattsThe latter motor has a maximum power of 235 kW in the front and 135 kW in the rear. Judging from the pre-sale price of Xpeng X9, the most direct competitor of the new car is not the ideal MEGA, but Denza D9, Toyota Sena and other models, in terms of technology and configuration, it has great advantages, but consumers who buy this kind of car also value the brand value, do you think Xpeng X9 can gain a foothold in the MPV market?
Kia EV9
As a car brand that has been deeply cultivated in China for many years, although Kia's sales are not as good as in the past, and it has not stopped the pace of introducing new cars, especially since it also closely follows the trend of the domestic new energy market, and has brought EV6 and domestic EV5, the official said that by the end of 2027, Kia plans to launch 6 electric vehicles in China, and next year will introduce a flagship SUV model - EV9.
The overall appearance of the Kia EV9 is like an enlarged version of the EV5, but it is differentiated in terms of details, compared with its competitors on the market with a rounded style, the EV9's boxy body looks quite tough, which can be described as a clear stream, and the interior part is mainly simple, using a two-spoke multi-function steering wheel with a double 123-inch integrated screen, the highlight is the seats, although the 2+2+2 layout is very common, but the second row of seats in the EV9 can be rotated 90 degrees and 180 degrees, forming an interactive space in the car, and friends who have taken the green train should have a sense of substitution. In terms of power, the new car will be offered in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, with a maximum power of 200 400 hp and a maximum torque of 339 651 Nm, respectively.
Even though the Kia EV9 has technical highlights such as an 800V high-voltage platform and electronic exterior mirrors, and there is a high probability that it will be made in China, it is still not enough to see compared with many domestic volume kings. Of course, the most important thing is that the starting price of the American version of EV9 is 560,000 US dollars, the national production capacity is less than 400,000, but Xiaopeng G9 is only 260,000, which is really unacceptable.
