At the beginning of the new year, Xpeng X9 was officially released at a price of 35980,000 41980,000 yuan, the price is quite reasonable, after all, with the halo of "the only standard rear-wheel steering in the same class", "equipped with dual-chamber air suspension", coupled with highly intelligent driving assistance systems and comfortable cockpits, it does bring a lot of pressure to other opponents in the high-end MPV market. These opponents include the VOYAH Dreamer, ZEEKR 009, Trumpchi E9, etc., which are also new energy MPVs, and some people even count the ideal upcoming MEGA. However, after actual analysis, I personally feel that DENZA D9 should be its strongest competitor. After all, the sales of DENZA D9 are there, and it seems to be a benchmark. As for the ideal mega, one is that the car is indeed too big, of course, it is more expensive, and the length is too alternative, it should be regarded as the existence of a unique gear. Therefore, in the ** range of about 400,000 yuan, the competition between Xpeng X9 and Denza D9 should be the most intense. So how to choose the two models of Xpeng X9 and Denza D9?We'll give you some tips on how to buy them.
First of all, from the perspective of appearance, the two already have distinct characteristics and obvious differences, or there will be certain age characteristics. As a latecomer, the appearance of Xpeng X9 is undoubtedly younger, and it is more individual, and it will be more attractive to consumer groups under 40 years old or younger, and it is more suitable for home use. Including the design of the interior, Xpeng X9 is also more technological, more simple, and looks more refreshing. The exterior styling of the Denza D9 is more in line with the traditional definition of luxury of the Chinese people, similar to the large front face of the oil car, the interior is more complex design elements, etc., it still looks more traditional than the Xpeng X9, it will be suitable for a larger age level, especially for those over 35 years old who have a certain economic foundation for starting a family and a successful career, in addition to home, they will often go in and out of some business occasions and pick up some important guests. Therefore, if the age is not too old and biased towards home, Xpeng X9 is more suitable, and if you are a little older, you can choose Denza D9.
Secondly, from the perspective of space, the Denza D9 has a slight advantage, because it is 135mm taller than the Xpeng X9, so the head will be more open, and the passenger sitting posture will be relatively more calm. Of course, this does not mean that the headroom of the Xpeng X9 is not enough, and the wheelbase of the Xpeng X9 is longer, and the expandable space is more than 200 liters larger than that of the Denza D9, so from the perspective of space, there is no problem with both.
Looking at the cruising range again, this brings us to the strength of the Xpeng X9, which has a total of three versions to choose from, which are 610km, 640km and 702km. The Denza D9 is only available in 600km and 620km versions, but the D9 can also provide a plug-in hybrid model with a range of up to 1,000, so for people who often go out to talk about business and drive long distances, the plug-in hybrid model of the Denza D9 will be more suitable, with a long range and no range anxiety. Of course, if they all choose pure electric, Xpeng will have a certain advantage, but this advantage is not obvious.
Let's take a look at the chassis suspension, Xiaopeng X9 is known as "the only standard rear-wheel steering in the same class", this steering system is similar to that on Mercedes-Benz EQS, the rear wheels will turn with the steering of the front wheels, so as to make up for the dilemma of too large turning radius caused by the body being too large, it is much more convenient to turn around and stop a car, and the body will be more stable when changing lanes at high speed. At the same time, Xpeng X9 is also equipped with a "dual-chamber air suspension", the softness and hardness of the suspension and the height can be adjusted, which can bring better comfort and passing performance, and it even has a certain off-road ability. In contrast, the Denza D9 can only adjust the soft and hard of the suspension, and lacks the height adjustment, so it is not as calm as the Xpeng X9 in different use scenarios. However, it is undeniable that as an MPV model, the suspension vibration filtration effect of the Denza D9 is still good, and the comfort can be guaranteed.
As for other configurations, such as intelligent driving assistance equipment, Xpeng X9 is indeed more comprehensive as a latecomer, and the intuitive data is that its number of sensors is as high as 29, including 2 lidars, while the Denza D9 is only 16 and is not equipped with lidar. With high-precision maps, Xpeng X9 can achieve more intelligent driving assistance functions than DENZA D9, and can achieve intelligent driving in cities and high-speed sections. Therefore, in terms of intelligence, Xpeng X9 is indeed significantly stronger than Denza D9, and those who like to only be equipped can choose X9.
To sum up, Xpeng X9 looks younger and more fashionable, has a higher level of intelligence, and is equipped with rear-wheel steering and dual-chamber air suspension, more balanced handling and comfort, excellent space performance, and it is more suitable for young families. The Denza D9 has a stronger sense of luxury in the exterior and interior, with more face, more spacious interior seating space, and more models to choose from, not only pure electric, but also plug-in hybrid, which is more practical, it is more suitable for slightly older family users, and can take into account business occasions. For Xpeng X9, 39 is more recommendedThe 980,000 yuan 702 ultra-long endurance MAX version, in addition to the absence of four-wheel drive, has all the equipment that should be there, and it is also more suitable. For the Denza D9, the pure electric is more recommended 39580,000 yuan EV 620 Prestige, if you often run long distances, 37The 580,000 yuan DM-i 1040 Premium is a good choice. Medium to large MPV
