XPENG unveiled the large electric SUV G9L in Paris, which is available for ordering at 74,600 euros and will begin shipping in December. Built in Graz, this six- or seven-seater model features an 110-kWh battery, a range of up to 591 km, and a charging capacity of 540 kW.

XPENG unveiled its new flagship SUV, the G9L, in Europe for the first time at the Paris Motor Show, which runs until October 18, 2026. The model is now available for ordering in Germany, with prices starting at 74,600 euros. The G9L is set to be offered in 64 countries and regions, with the first deliveries planned for December 2026. The vehicles for Europe are manufactured at Magna in Graz, Austria, where XPENG already produces the G6, G9, and P7+ models. Thus, the G9L becomes the fourth XPENG model produced at this facility.

Dimensions and Space

At 5.12 meters in length, just under 2 meters in width, and 1.78 meters in height, the G9L is the largest SUV in the brand’s lineup to date. Its wheelbase measures 3.10 meters. Customers in continental Europe can choose between six individual seats or a seven-seater configuration arranged 2:3:2. The third row of seats can be folded electrically.

According to VDA standards, the trunk holds 367 liters, including a storage compartment under the load floor. When the third row is folded down, the capacity of the six-seater all-wheel-drive version increases to up to 1,330 liters. There is also an additional storage space under the hood with a capacity of 65 liters. The permissible towing weight is 2.0 tons.

In the interior, XPENG features heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats in the first two rows, each with a massage function. For the front seats, the manufacturer promises sensor-driven adjustment to fit the body shape along with automatically adjusted side bolsters. The two seats in the third row are also heated and ventilated. Additionally, there is a three-zone climate control system, a 12.5-liter cooler compartment in the center console, a 21.4-inch screen that can be lowered from the ceiling for the rear passengers, and a sound system with 23 speakers.

Powertrain, Battery, and Range

All versions use an 110 kWh NCM battery. Two powertrain options are available:

G9L RWD Long Range Ultra (7-seater): Rear-wheel drive with 270 kW (367 HP), up to 591 kilometers of range per WLTP, starting at 74,600 euros

G9L AWD Performance Ultra (7-seater): All-wheel drive with 430 kW (585 HP), up to 553 kilometers of range per WLTP, starting at 79,600 euros

G9L AWD Performance Ultra (6-seater): Technically identical, starting at 85,600 euros

The all-wheel-drive version delivers 695 Nm of torque and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. The top speed is limited to 200 km/h across all variants. XPENG currently reports a combined fuel consumption of 21.1 to 22.5 kWh per 100 kilometers; the final WLTP certification has not yet been issued.

Charging capacity and charging times

The G9L is based on an 800-volt architecture. XPENG claims the maximum charging power is 540 kW, allowing the battery to go from 10% to 80% in less than twelve minutes. The document does not specify how long this peak power can be maintained or at which charging stations it is available in practice. Vehicle-to-Load functionality enables powering external devices with up to 6 kW.

For navigation, XPENG integrates the Google Maps SDK, which provides real-time traffic data as well as charging planning options. The G9L is the second model in the brand’s lineup to feature this solution, following the L03.

Suspension, Cockpit, and Assist Systems

Standard features include a two-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers and rear-wheel steering, which reduces the turning radius to 11 meters. The ground clearance can be increased to up to 216 millimeters, with a wheelbase of 700 millimeters. The cockpit is equipped with a 17.3-inch touchscreen, an 8.8-inch combination instrument panel, and an augmented-reality head-up display. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor running XOS 6.0 operating system.

XPENG uses its own Turing AI chips for the driver assistance system. Level 2++ partial automation is expected to be added via over-the-air update starting in 2027, subject to regulatory approval. Safety features include ten airbags and numerous assistance systems. According to the manufacturer, the G9L was tested for three years in 26 countries over approximately 6.74 million kilometers and underwent 192 crash tests.

Equipment, Options, and Warranty

At launch, only the top Ultra version will be available. Additional costs apply only for three paint finishes (1,200 euros), an electrically adjustable tow hitch (1,290 euros), and for the seven-seater model, a Premium Package priced at 4,990 euros. This package includes enhanced seating functions, adaptive side panels, electrically extendable step ladders, and DLP pixel headlights. The six-seater model already comes with this package. XPENG offers a seven-year or 160,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, as well as an eight-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty on the high-voltage battery.
