The new Xpeng G9L already has a price in Europe: here’s the electric SUV that charges at 540 kW

Xpeng continues its intense activities at the Paris Motor Show, and now the Chinese brand has revealed the price of what will be its flagship model in Europe.

The new Xpeng G9L is a larger version of the Xpeng G9, with a focus on comfort for passengers in the rear seats. The brand aims to make traveling in this model feel more like being in a luxury sedan rather than a conventional SUV, featuring individual seats, massage functions, and entertainment systems designed for long trips.

The European launch comes alongside the opening of pre-orders in Germany and an international rollout covering 64 countries. First deliveries to customers are scheduled for December 2026, with production of units destined for Europe taking place in Austria.

Xpeng G9L: Dimensions, Interior, and Features

The Xpeng G9L is 5.12 meters long, which is 23 centimeters longer than the Xpeng G9. This increased length primarily helps improve interior space and allows for various seating configurations. The initial lineup includes six-seater and seven-seater versions, a combination designed to cater to both those who prioritize comfort and families needing more seating capacity.

The first version announced is the Xpeng G9L RWD Long Range Ultra, featuring seven seats and rear-wheel drive. Above it are two four-wheel-drive variants, both under the Performance Ultra designation, distinguished by their interior configurations of six or seven seats. In all cases, the initial trim available is Ultra, the most comprehensive in the range.

The interior is one of the areas where Xpeng aims to set itself apart from other electric SUVs. The front seats are covered in Nappa leather and come with electric adjustments, heating, ventilation, and massage functions, as well as lumbar and thigh supports. They also feature an active adaptation system that uses sensors to adjust the seat to the occupant’s physique, a technology the brand presents as a world first.

In the second row, the six-seater configuration replaces the traditional bench with two individual seats equipped with armrests. These also feature heating, ventilation, and ten-point massage functions, while the third row, in seven-seater versions, adds heated and ventilated seats that can be folded down electrically. The goal is to offer a level of comfort rarely seen in a vehicle of this type, even for those sitting in the back seats.

The amenities are completed by a 21.4-inch 3K resolution entertainment screen that unfolds from the ceiling for rear passengers, along with a sound system featuring 23 speakers. Xpeng also highlights the use of specially selected materials in certain areas of the cabin to accommodate smaller occupants, a detail that underscores the model’s family-oriented focus.

In the driver’s cabin, the focus is on a central 17.3-inch touchscreen that controls the multimedia system and navigation. The navigation system includes Google Maps, offering real-time traffic information and smart planning for charging stops. The driver also has an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a standard windshield information projection system.

Up to 591 kilometers of range and 540 kW charging

The initial lineup of the Xpeng G9L features a battery with a gross capacity of 110 kWh using NCM chemistry. The version with the longest range combines this battery with a rear motor delivering 270 kW (367 hp), while the Performance Ultra variants use an all-wheel-drive system providing 430 kW (585 hp). According to the WLTP cycle, the certified range is 591 kilometers for the rear-wheel-drive version and 553 kilometers for both all-wheel-drive configurations.

One of its most notable technical advantages is its 800-volt electrical system, which allows for a maximum DC charging power of 540 kW. This figure far exceeds that of even the most powerful charging stations. That said, it won’t be easy to find a station that enables full utilization of this capability at the moment.

According to data provided by Xpeng, under optimal conditions the SUV can go from 10% to 80% charge in less than 12 minutes. For home charging, the brand includes a standard 22 kW AC charger.

Xpeng G9L: Trims and Prices

The lineup starts with three versions. The Xpeng G9L RWD Long Range Ultra offers seven seats, a rear-mounted 270 kW (367 HP) motor, and up to 591 kilometers of WLTP range. The two Performance Ultra options feature all-wheel drive and 430 kW (585 HP), with an approved range of up to 553 kilometers in both six-seat and seven-seat configurations.

In terms of assisted driving, Xpeng claims that the G9L is ready to adopt its next generation of AI-based systems. The computing platform integrates Turing chips developed by the company itself and will serve as the foundation for the evolution of its NGP system, built on the VLA 2.0 architecture. The brand plans to enable level 2++ partially automated driving functions through a remote update starting in 2027.

The European production of the Xpeng G9L will take place at Magna Steyr’s facility in Graz, Austria. This plant already manufactures the Xpeng G6, G9, and P7+, and the addition of the new SUV expands the industrial partnership between the two companies. The brand has confirmed that the first production test of the G9L in Graz has been successfully completed.

The Xpeng G9L starts at 74,600 euros for the seven-seater RWD Long Range Ultra version. The six-seater AWD Performance Ultra variant costs 79,600 euros, while the seven-seater all-wheel-drive configuration raises the price to 85,600 euros. These are currently the announced prices for the German market, and we don’t have pricing details for Spain yet.
