Whats your thoughts of the G9? Let me know in the comments 👇
I test drove it too (in The Netherlands), just after a software-update end of June. In fact I ordered one. Will sell my Model S. Tested Xpilot too. Lane keeping, adaptive cruise control and lane change worked quite well, just like in MS. Voice control worked fine (please open my window). It knows who is talking. My friend said He Xpeng, please switch to sports mode. It said: cannot do that, you are not the driver. Quite impressive. Eager to get it in October.
Good choice! I hope you will enjoy it. 👍
Did you get it? Are you still happy? Please share your impressions, thanks.
Thanks for the quick look! This car is extremely promising. Pre-ordered in Norway and the price here is extraordinary considering the features, abilities and qualities of this car. No doubt Xpeng is taking a loss in an attempt to beat the general skepticism towards Chinese manufacturers and getting local customers to choose Xpeng.
Thanks for watching! I will continue to watch Xpeng closely. Very exciting! Next test will the P7 before that have cars for longer reviews.
Nobody seems able to point out any downsides of this car except for the light steering. Really seems Xpeng nailed it, which is incredible at this price. Really hope the RWD is comfortable too, even though it will not have the air suspension.
Hard to find any other flaws than the soft steering. I guess the RWD suspension will be good enough.
I just noticed the European version does not have Geek Mode like the Chinese one. That mode allows you to customise literally everything separately, including the steering stiffness. Hopefully it's just not exposed in this software version. Otherwise, you should feedback to XPeng to include it, haha.
That sounds like a really cool feature!
You can actually adjust the steering to 3 different versions, comfort, standard and sport - sport makes it very connected to the steering. It seems he was not informed - but it changed steering dramatically.
@@ItsOnlyElectric It is there, under vehicle settings, see comment below:) We have it in the Danish cars.
Test drove the pre-production last week. I've owned a Tesla model X and currently drive a Mach-e AWD. Up front I will say I was not expecting much from the XPENG... My benchmark is the Model X and literally everything I have driven since then has not met my expectations. Well... The XPENG was nothing less than horrible!... Horribly good! Shockingly good in fact. The response time was better than the Model X, the air suspension was better tuned than the Model X (even for a pre production), the seating and adjustments were better than the model X and the passenger room in the rear was the best I've ever seen. Now the audio was not good... but I later found out that the car I test drove, being pre-production, did not have the fine tuning that will be in the production version, so I'll ignore that issue for now. It's a Beast! Yet driving it is effortless. There are way more refinements in this car than the Model X... and frankly, you are getting way more for your money with the XPENG. Now being a software engineer, I have always said that EVs are just computers on wheels. The core of these cars is the software. And like any computer, you want to be sure that the software is continually developed, the UI is easy and intuitive to use (or learn to use), and is safe, secure and reliable. The one thing missing just now is security - they are having to make some major refinements for the EU market - but the UI is the finest I've ever seen.. even against Tesla, which is the industry benchmark. I have to change out my Mach-e in May next year, and I had planned for a Model Y. However, after test driving 'the beast', the Model Y is now in second place.
Very good conclusions, thank you for sharing. I'm also very impressed by it!
BYD has 2000 engineers working on the development of software. This is insane huge capacity.
You just confirmed my hopes and helped to take the decision!
Great review, you are obviously enthusiastic about this G9 ;-) Me too, I test drove it yesterday. Also measured the noise level, it was 69dB at 100-110 kmph, so really silent (in fact, 1dB less than the Bentley in which we drove to Xpeng). So I ordered it, exactly as in your video, black in grey, AWD with comfort/audio package. They say it will be delivered in December. Can't wait!
Nice! I think it's a bargain, especially with the higher trims, AWD and comfortnpsck. 👍
What's the verdict after receiving Your car and having it for a few months now? :)
An excellent car. Just took it to Spain on a 5K km trip and it was such a pleasure! My wife loved the easy ride, the comfy seatbelt and CZcams on her screen. Me, I loved everything about it. The Xpilot (assisted driving) can be a bit jerky, but they are werking on it. Super car!
@@keesengels4297 Thank You for taking the time to reply here, I wish You many happy trips with Your car :)
Absolutely love your style, down to earth, precise and systematic, like a nordic version of Thomas from autogefühl👍🇩🇰
Thank you so much. That was heartwarming! 🙂
@@ItsOnlyElectric Hjärtevärmande😉
Exakt!
Great review for such a short time having the car. I think Xpeng has a winner here, and then G6, and more. Always good to see a company learn from their mistakes and improve.
Thanks 🙏
昨天晚上我刚刚预订了G6，755MAX版！
Great video, great car. Subscribed.
Glad you liked it and welcome!
Verkligen intressant! Stor, snabb, prisvärd. Ska bara övertyga frun att vi kan ha kinabil...
Ja! Största utmaningen är att det just är ett nytt märke. Men mina första upplevelser med Xpeng är positiva. Känns väldigt lovande!
honest reviews, so refreshing.
Chinese EV cars are leading the way. I was expecting a bit more room in the back seats.

@@stefan2796 So tour saying that for example German products represents Nazis and genocide of jews?
There is no doubt that Chinese manufacturers (and government) take the advantage of ICE to BEV change and positioned themselves at the top of it. I am amazed to see all these features in a BEV vehicle at this price range. Both European and US OEMs have serious challenges to beat Chinese brands in competition.
Yes, people/brands that don't see this will wake up to a whole nother world of manufacturers and brands in just a few years.
Would love to give it a go!! But not available in the UK yet!! I would love to be an ambassador for Xpeng in the UK.
I guess it is easier to target left hand drive market first. Even Tesla is no longer making RHD model S and X anymore, driving the prices of the used cars in Australia
Ambassador usually gets a Free XPeng G9
@@HafiZzZzZz probably why I'd love to be an embassador! Haha
Tesla Now after a year and a half is thinking about using LiDAR, but Xpeng was the FIRST COMPANY IN THE WORLD to use LiDAR on the production car
Don’t know what you’re smoking but Tesla doesn’t plan on using LiDAR….ever!!
High precision radar.
@@ItsOnlyElectric "High precision radar" not to call it LIDAR but the technology is identical
and is also THE FIRST COMPANY IN THE WORLD to achive SAE level-3 autonomous driving system on a production car versus Tesla who declared (Feb 28, 2023) its technology is a "'Level Two' semi-autonomous driving system", but who know that ???
Very good point!
Nice review! I’m hoping to see a review between the standard and premium interior, quality, difference in sound etc. All G9 videos currently on CZcams have the premium interior, would be nice if we could see the standard interior.
Since it's pre production cars I think all are premium interior. When the real production starts other variants will be available.
@@ItsOnlyElectric probably. It would be nice if we could see the difference. They are available for preorder here in the Netherlands, but unfortunately there is no way to tell what you will get if you don’t order the premium interior. That’s not a complaint regarding your review of course but a general comment to xpeng :-)
I'm visiting Xpeng in a couple of weeks. Will check then.
@@ItsOnlyElectric awesome, thanks!
No, only premium interior, it is a high quality car, like Rolls Royce (Bentley rather, as the Nappa leather comes from Bentley, not Rolls Royce, but the quality is based on Rolls Royce EJFJ autonomous driving that BMW Group never realized since February 6th, 1994) you cannot have a low quality interior... But this is a very smart interior with few buttons, vocal commands, and sweet design with nothing noticeable to be very effective... This is not like their old "partner" Hongqi, which does very complex design... Xpeng is based on simplicity and discretion while allowing astonishing high efficiency functions with lot of discretion... It seams to be a normal car, with a low price, but it has more functionalities than a Rolls Royce in which you can be the driver or the passenger, but in each case always the benefitor...
first comment ig lol
nice car thx for giving the information
Congratulations 👏
Thanks for watching
this car is great. waiting for the g6
G6 will be perfectly sized and more like a hatchback. Hope it comes to Europe soon. Did ask Xpeng Sweden but they didn't know yet
Bring it! Great alternative to my Model Y!
which cars are now more Premium or BETTER looking...Chinese or European. ?
European ones for ICE's, Chinese one for EV's.
High quality car i think.
Yes for sure!
It looks like a nice car, and given that xpeng is probably the best in software including adas in china, kind weird it flopped badly in china
I don't get that either. But it feels like a brand made for Europe. Hope it works out!
Yes, people feel it's too pricey "for a XPeng" even though it is also much more premium than the lower models. There is also a very tough competition in the premium electric SUV market, and being in the middle of LiXiang and NIO is a hard place.
The competition is massive in China, with tesla cutting down price.. Xpeng as the best ADAS system in the world, Tesla isn't match for it ADAS system
The city ADAS was just unlocked two months ago in China. It takes time to convince the consumers of its superiority.
Everyone has good highway ADAS in China. XPeng was leading in highway two years. Then Li and NIO etc caught up. It’s not as easy to catch up with city ADAS though. XPeng can probably maintain the lead for a few years.
@@enigmatum if you claimed so.. Who is topping the chart for self parking system if not Xpeng..
Best car ever ❤
Really good!
You sure it's ventilated seats in the back? The Norwegians says it's heated and massage, but not ventilated...
Checked it again and I'm probably wrong. Back seats are not perforated and the specification doesn't say anything about ventilation in the back seat. So the Norwegians are right 👍
wonderful car from China❤❤❤
no wonder US banned Chinese EVs!....great revieiew!!!
Thanks! Yes, saving their own market
The only 2 things that missing from this big SUV: - third row and HUD.
Maybe when talking about the pano roof, you could mention some of its properties for heat shielding. Is there a cover etc.
Good points. 👍
Beautiful car!
Vos vidéos sont excellentes et explicite merci à vous.
Et pourquoi pas un test avec la ZEEKR 001.
Merci beaucoup! 🙏
Test for the Zeekr001, will come. It's in the planning..
Xiaopeng G9, some people in China have conducted a moose test, and this car passed the test perfectly, but it is a bit expensive to sell🥹🥹🥹
The answer: YES
MR. Tall guy! Were you comfortable with Nio et5 while driving it?
Yes, no problem.
The 2024 version G9 cut the AC charging from 11kw to 7kw, from a current owner
Cut it after testing 11kW, or did he/her get it that way?
@@ItsOnlyElectric they fit only 1 inverter instead of 2 to cut cost. Like NIO just cut AC charge port and Tesla downgrade 3 phase from 21 to 16 then 11kw for model s and x. The 2024 model is a minor refresh, mainly focused on interior functions (dual charge port, etc) and cut cost.
@@xiantong12315 will look into it..testing the G9 more closely in s couple of weeks.
@@ItsOnlyElectric overall, good car, only complaine is the menu setup and mobile app setup, and there's no way to open the charge port from outside, for 2 years...
@@xiantong12315 the charge port thing seems annoying. Tried the menus and they seem to be decent compared to a lot of other manufacturers.
How would it compare to a NIO EL8 or EL7?
Not tried the EL7. But clearly a competitor.
@@ItsOnlyElectric They are competitors in Chinese domestic market along with Avatr 11.
Is this Graphite Grey ?
Yes it is. Best looking color on the G9.
Is it true the European models don't have Leidar? Do it come with a cargo cover?
Yes, no lidar to cut cost. Not sure about the cargo cover. But there's was no cargo cover on the 2 G9 I looked at.
But it has 12USS, 12 cameras and 5 x mm precision radars
in Chinese version, it is with cargo cover, comfirmed.
I like your look at 16:21 hahaha
🤣🤣
@@ItsOnlyElectric 😊 ←
Hoppas du får provköra RWD varianten när den dyker upp👍
Bra video!👍 Tack🌹 nästan för mycket finesser och inställningar 😅 skulle nog rulla ännu tystare med mindre däck/fälgar.
Tack! Det skulle den absolut göra. Med 19" är den nog ännu tystare
I would prefer smaller rims with larger sidewall tires to maximize the suspension. Low profile tires look cool, but potholes bend rims and pop low profile tires. Would prefer beefier sidewalls and softer ride.
Yes, bigger wheels is for a bit better handling but almost only for the looks.
I would rather have less performance and more range I really like the look and sound of it, or should that be lack of sound I will have to wait for a used one as I could not a afford new
Nice review, 😊 as always. But does G9 has a sunshade? Because won't this giant panoramic glass roof will make the car warm in hot summer days?
Thanks! No sunshade for the panoramic sunroof. But good uv filter and pretty dark. Feels on par with Teslas glass roofs. So if you don't live in extreme hot places it won't be a problem.
@@ItsOnlyElectric thank for your reply. I live in the Netherlands. In March I bought BYD ATTO 3. Brilliant car and no complaints 😀 but because of birth of my son, we are now 5, and need a a little bigger SUV than Atto 3. So I am considering to buy G9.
Thanks once again for replying.
@@Batman.3.8 I really liked the G9. A lot of car for that money compared to the competition. But I suggest you to test drive it first.
@@ItsOnlyElectricYou said there was something to be fixed with the software. What was that to be fixed? And when will it be fixed?
@@Batman.3.8 big update was on the way, since the car I was testing had pre production sw. More apps, games etc, but also bug fixes and adjustments to the sound system.
No Bmw and MB get's very good candidate from China.And half of price,Amazing!!!!
Yes, interesting times
Hi, Can you test properly the G9 performance in the coming weeks? THX, Attila from the Netherlands
Anything specific you eller want to know?
Hi I just saw you are getting a test car. Please check city and highway speed consumption. Charging curve and time 10-80 %. Is android auto and Apple carplay will be available? I saw on earlier tests that adaptive cruise control was not final, hopefully they are now. Thank you
@Hunman79 will do.
The only issue i can think of is in the western world how would someone get it serviced or claim on the warranty? Considering there is no dealerships ?
Of course there is dealerships. One of Scandinavias biggest car dealer Bilia is selling and serving xpeng here.
🙂🙂🙂👍
Almost perfect! The only downside is not to have android auto and apple carplay.
These Chinese cars are amazing.
Great video. You should do your reviews in a more PUBLIC area ...you'll be encouraged by the OOO's and Ahhhh'S
In this video I did it too close too a school. Was hard to focus and a bit too noisy so I need to relocate after s while.
Is the car small or is the commentator huge ? Lol. great review 👍
6.3" nvm, he huge lol
Yes, I'm tall. The car is big! 😂
How you compare internal noise with Hongqi esh9 ?
Haven't tried the Hongqi yet.
Did you have a chance to test the charging speed ?
Unfortunately not. This was a pre production car. Looking forward to a longer period of testing
800V, max 480KW/H..Chinese version.
Futuristic with many screens in the front looks way better than Tesla.
Yes, it's really nice.
Does it show visualisation like tesla???
Yes, don't remember exactly though. But a good thing is that I'm testing the P7 on Friday next week. I can record some action on the instrument cluster then.
@@ItsOnlyElectric thanks
Snygg. Mkt Citroen över den i fronten. 🤗
Ja, det har du ju rätt i!
XPUNK
How can we adopet these ev in USA they cost 3 times more to insure compared to to ice $100 vs $300 insurance cost….
Great question, guess it's all about politics
58k Euros with a 7-year-warranty. or 8300 per year, or 690 per month cost. not including operating cost. man! you guys must be rich.
No one said it was cheap. But compared to the rivals it's cheaper. 🙂
in my opinion the only thing that is missing is the headup display
The instrument cluster compensates for that but a HUD would had been great.
Are you really tall? This looks more like a station wagon than an SUV when you're outside it. More like a volvo v60?
Ok you're 193cm. That will be why.
The only problem is the company itself.
Given its financial status quo. You don’t know if they will be around in 5 years.
Indeed, the hardware and build quality is impeccable. But bare in mind that EV is essentially a large size consumer electronics. You need service one way or another regardless the quality of the product.
I really don't understand what is going on with the company. They are very good at research and development but totally unable to market their cars, they need an aggressive expansion campaign in Europe and USA
Europe levies very heavy tarrif on Chinese EV, they need to protect its also market, given the current geopolitical tensen between the China and the US, I don't think it's easy for Chinese car brands to enter the US, look at Huawei, the US has sanction over 12,000 Chinese companies, so there is a risk there.
what full size suv, it´s a combi.
No, it is a SUV. But today all cars are called SUVs. 🙂
Better by far than that eggy Mercedes EQS
Wow looks very similar to NIO huh. I can not distinguish them other than the badge😂
So is this Xpeng a premium brand of NIO, or is it's the completely different manufacturer?
They are close in looks. The Xpeng is a bit more clean in the exterior design. Design elements like the devided headlights are very similar..
Not the same company. Different owners etc.
Yeahhh, that's called competition. It makes prices lower and cars go faster, good stuff.
@@lucisleesion8824 looks like you impaired or almost.. If you did mention Li Auto you do be making a point.. It no where close to NIO
"Suspension state" lol spotted the dev.
They should have made it a 7 or 6 seater SUV
Would have been great
@@ItsOnlyElectric also love it charging speed.. Did you notice it gonna be the first Chinese EV to cross 200kwh charging speed topping it upto 300kwh.. All german cars aren't it match, including porsche likewise korean cars.. They also do have G9 with 4C battery architecture that can charge at 480kwh
@@faithosadebe5293 very interesting and I like love and believe in their fast charging approach!
XPeng's MPV will be revealed in China in the 2nd half of this year. Plenty of space there, but not sure if it'll be a bit too large for Europe. Watch out for it.
@@networm78 the zeekr 009 MPV is my number one top MPV.. Also currently the fastest MPV.. Build with quality..
SUV? looks more like an estate car
I'm tall. But this car is big!
Chinese " Citroen" copy
Think is referring to exterior design. It's in some angels similar to Citroen design. But all cars has elements of others brands in some way.
its a big school bus, complet unneasary.
Depends on what you need. It's smaller than a vovlo xc90.
That is one ugly looking car.
You think? Any specific part you don't like?
Not at all, it is very modern car, very strange, but with lot of efficient and discreet things... It is not a normal car with visual decorations and inefficient technologies... It will be level 5 autonomous driving car by 2025...
honest reviews, so refreshing.
Thanks! Glad you like it. 👍
