On the first day of 2024, Xpeng Motors took the lead in throwing out the king bomb, and its first MPV model, Xpeng X9, was officially launched, and the new car launched a total of 4 configuration models, with a price range of 35980,000-41980,000 yuan, and the delivery will start this month. Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, and Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi Technology, also posted on social ** to wish Xiaopeng X9 a successful sale.
The Xpeng X9 is positioned as a medium and large pure electric MPV, offering single-motor front-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive options, with a CLTC pure electric range of up to 702km, and is equipped with 8295 chips, high-end intelligent assistance systems, dual-chamber air suspension and other configurations. In addition, before the listing, the number of reservations for the Xpeng X9 has exceeded 30,000 units, and the launch conference has not yet ended, and the Xpeng X9 Dading has exceeded 5,000 units.
After looking at the ideal MEGA, I feel that the design of Xpeng X9 seems to be a lot more low-key, and the front face of Xpeng X9 continues the design style of Xiaopeng family, with a through-type light strip on the front face, and a hidden door handle and side sliding door on the side. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5293 1988 1785 (mm), and the wheelbase is 3160mm. It is smaller than the Ideal MEGA, and is comparable to medium and large MPVs such as the Denza D9, VOYAH Dreamer and ZEEKR 009.
Compared with traditional MPV models, the rear of the Xpeng X9 is still relatively alternative, the rear adopts a coupe-like SUV-like inclined design, and is equipped with through-type taillights, in addition, the new car will be equipped with 19 20-inch wheels of different specifications, and the dual-motor version is also equipped with an exclusive sports logo.
Although the body lines are not as smooth as the ideal MEGA, the Xpeng X9 adopts a low drag design in 17 places, and its drag coefficient is only 0227cd, and the number of wind resistance of the ideal mega is only 0215cd。
In terms of interior, Xiaopeng X9 Xiaopeng X9 interior is a more familiar feeling, the interior adopts the same latest family interior design style as Xiaopeng G6, using a suspended central control screen, embedded LCD instrument, double-spoke steering wheel, wireless charging pad and two front cup holders, the physical buttons are basically canceled, only the multi-function buttons on the steering wheel are retained, and the on-board functions are integrated into the large-size central control screen.
In terms of space, Xpeng X9 adopts a "2+2+3" three-row 7-seat layout, and the interior area of the car reaches 77, the head and legroom performance of the three rows of seats in the car is not bad, the second row is designed for independent seats, the leather-covered seats are equipped with leg rests and independent armrests, ** channel width of 180mm, entry and exit height of 1315mm, convenient for the occupants in the car to enter and exit the third row. The third-row seats also have a one-button electric storage function, which can form a fully flat trunk space after storage, and the maximum trunk volume can be expanded to 2554L.
In terms of intelligence, Xpeng X9 will be the first to use the XOS Dimensity intelligent cockpit system, which is built into Qualcomm's latest generation of 8295 intelligent cockpit chip, and the AI force reaches 30TOPS, which is 8 times that of the 8155 chip. In addition, Xpeng X9 is also equipped with XNGP high-end intelligent assisted driving system, equipped with dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips, with a maximum computing power of 508TOPS, and 30 intelligent driving perception elements, including 2 lidars, 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and 5 millimeter-wave radars.
In terms of other configurations, Xpeng X9 is also equipped with a 23-speaker XOpera audio system, X Free Breath micro-climate fresh air system, wireless charging for mobile phones in the second row, zero-gravity seats in the second row, and 21Comfort configurations such as 4-inch rear ceiling screen and car refrigerator and refrigerator, refrigerator and color TV large sofa are readily available.
In terms of power, Xpeng X9 is equipped with a full-range 800V high-voltage SiC silicon carbide platform, and will be available in two versions: single motor and dual motor, of which the maximum power of the rear motor of the two-wheel drive version is 235 kilowattsThe four-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 135 kW for the front motor and 235 kW for the rear motor, with a combined torque of 640 Nm and a 0-100 km h acceleration time of only 5In 7 seconds, the maximum speed can reach 200 km/h.
In terms of battery life, the Xpeng X9 offers a capacity of 845 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack and capacity of 101A 5 kWh ternary lithium battery pack is optional, with a pure electric range of 610 km, 702 km and 640 km in CLTC mode, respectively. In ultra-fast charging mode, the Xpeng X9 increases its battery life by 300km after 10 minutes of charging.
In terms of chassis, Xpeng X9 adopts the form of front double wishbone and rear H-arm multi-link independent suspension, while the whole system is equipped with dual-chamber air suspension as standard, with a maximum adjustment range of 90mm. In addition, the Xpeng X9 is also equipped with an active rear-wheel steering system, and the rear-wheel steering angle is adjusted to plus or minus 10 degrees, making its turning diameter only 108 meters.
As an MPV model, Xpeng X9 will use pure electric drive like Krypton 009, after all, Xpeng Motors' products are still pure electric products, compared with those car companies that lay out pure electric and plug-in hybrid or extended range, there are still shortcomings, especially the energy supplement problem in long-distance driving of MPV models, pure electric mileage compared with plug-in hybrid or extended range, it is indeed an important problem that will worry many people.
However, it should also be noted that Xpeng X9 has many leading advantages in the competition of Ideal MEGA, such as being equipped with 800V high-voltage architecture, faster charging, lower energy consumption, longer battery life and stronger performance. It is believed that with the popularization of 800V high-voltage platforms, the improvement of charging network facilities and consumers' pursuit of intelligence, Xpeng X9 may be able to break the existing situation of the pure electric MPV market.
