Xpeng G9. 2022 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. R/R, F/R/A, 78·2, 78·4, 98 kWh electric. The Xpeng design language scaled up to a big SUV. Still reasonably slippery for the format (C_d 0·272). Plenty of tech and power, and very comfortable. Heavy, at almost 2·5 tonnes, but reasonably good handling and excellent grip. However, vague steering does not help the driving experience. Air suspension generally good but not on par with established luxury brands. Luxury interior but for plastics on the steering wheel, but very roomy.

Manufacturing location: Guangzhou, Guangdong, China

Marque: Xpeng
