Very nice car. Have driven this car in the same color and type for 90 minutes in a test drive. I liked it very much. Now I'm choosing between this car and zeekr 001.
@@ItsOnlyElectric Yes. 2 times already. Also a very nice car to look at and to drive. Only thing - there was no European mobile application and auto steer available at the time of test drive. Also the software was in preproduction state. I have another testdrive planned next week. Because they premised to release the european software at the end of oktober. So will check it out. Another thing is efficiency. 001 is not very efficient. Efficiency of G9 is much better. Will test Zeekr with the new production software. Hopefully they will fix some efficiency issues and the autopilot will be able to drive on the highway.
Once again a very good, comprehensive and not too long review. You have become one of go-to guys for EV reviews. I like the consistency in the way you test, and that you always are very objective about the way a certain car behaves. I tried the G9 Performance yesterday and I was also impressed by the build quality and the noise level. Keep the good work up. Regards from Denmark
Truly impressive how great and well made this vehicle is. It must be a satisfaction to design and then see it being produced, such a great product. Great review, as always.
This is one of my new favourite EV. Far better than any European EV. Hopefully, XPeng can Update the SW and add Trip resets like in Tesla. For the rest, superb EV. LOVE IT !!!
Grymt imponerad av denna bil, kommer lägga förslag på att företaget jag jobbar för börjar köra dessa. Kul för övrigt att hitta ännu en svensk biltestare på youtube som kan utgå från våra behov i norden! Bara sett denna videon än så länge, men du prickar precis vad jag var intresserad av, hittils bästa svenska kanalen i mitt tycke!
Kul att du hittade hit! 👍 Kolla på de Standard range RWD känns sjukt prisvärd. Oftast så har den längre räckvidd med sina 480km, jämfört med det större batteriet som du oftast laddar till 80%.
great car ! I really hope Xpeng manage it to bring the G9 with the large battery and RWD out for under 60.000 in Germany , that would attract many business customers!
Great review. I think it might be better than NIO EL7 and quite a lot cheaper. Not the best news for me as I have more NIO shares than XPENG. I can however appreciate a good car when I see one unlike many of the EV trolls out there who can only see one brand succeeding over another! Both have good vehicles and I hope they both succeed!
If you compare the EL6 with the big battery and the comfort package the price is the same as the G9 Performance. Now when the EL6 is available no one will fo for the EL7 over the EL6.
@@ItsOnlyElectric I agree...I think the EL7 is a slightly older model now and due for a refresh. I hope they can add something substantial to the refresh that will justify the purchase and differentiate itself from the EL6. What is your personal preference between EL6 and G9 if you had to buy one with your own money?
Great video. Enjoyed your presentation. Very organised in your testing approach. One suggestion: if u have pricing information, be great to hear a comparison versus other similar EVs. Subscribed!
This is my next EV to be. Currently I am very happy with me BYD ATTO3 but soon maybe next year this will be my next car. Never ever I am going back to German brands 😁
Lebanon should have gone EV years ago. Even a 30kWh Nissan Leaf could drive the length of your country. Fuel cost and dependency on imported petrol makes no sense. All the power shortages and fossil fuel generators ....crazy!! Wishing you peace, safety and a green future.
Hi, Thank you nice review. I guess before you took the test car they get a software update for ADAS systems xpeng 2.5 as it was working well for you. tesla Bjorn and others still have lot's of problem with adas system, slowing down on curves even on the highway. Did you have that experience as well? Thx Atti
Great review, unfortunately not available in BE, so I currently have an Eletre on pre order, but from a consumption / price / performance / space the G9 is a serious contender! Would love to see you test the Eletre on your consumption test!
@@ItsOnlyElectricI had the S on order, but the range was a bit disappointing, so I switched to base as in the EU that is the only one with the 20 inch wheels. The S did 29kwh/100km on the same lap my iX only consumed 23kwh/100km. Most users average around 27 for the S and 25 for the base …
Great video! Did you had the chance to verify the design and manufacturing quality of the pedal set? There are reports that the design of the pedal set and more specifically its fixation to the bulkhead is not sturdy enough.
Great review, very clear informations. I just bought a long range Xpeng G9, I only have one question. What’s the app I need to use to control my xpeng?
Android Auto and apple Carplay not in plan as I understand it. The system is built on Android and Xpeng are releasing s lot of native applications. Video about that soon.
Hej 👋 As always, great review, I'm looking forward to see your channel growing and getting all the audience it deserves 😊 This G9 is a beast, charge wise. Can you imagine, being above 80% SOC and keep it running at 180kw... incredible. EV future looks bright.. and fast ⚡
@@Burbn2k You do understand that if the car can achieve such loading speed, that's because it's meant to be. The more the EV will advance in tech, the faster they will charge up. (and also the more energy density of the batteries will be up, but that's another topic here) 😉
@@SeeliLeck3r depends how well "it's meant to be" is tested... before release. I hope people are aware of the amps they are sitting on while its charging (personally as an automation engineered i dont usually sit in the car while I charge) I own a Tesla M3😅to scared of thermal runaway in these Chines made products 😂 but i am looking to buy a G9. Just need so more months on the road to verify if this is the next gen SUV in the market i am looking for.
Awesome review as always! In my opinion, the lane switch finishing signal noise serves as a reminder so that the driver knows for definite the whole lane changing procedure has finished. I'd say it is similar to a loading bar showing you "completed" when the bar fully fills up. Not absolutely necessary, but serves a residency function nonetheless.
I am confused between Audi Q8 etron 50 (2023 second hand) available for 62K and Xpeng G9 2024 second hand. I like Xpeng features , driving comfort and luxury. Not sure if the company will survive in 5 years and depreciation as individual buyer. Any advise
Thank you for a very good review! I've had my G9 for just over a week and I'm super impressed!! (Coming from a Polestar 2) As you point out, there is a bit to work on the current Xpilot. Unfortunately, there is negative talk about Xpilot here in Sweden. However, I think it works better for you than many describe here in Sweden. (I haven't had time to test that much and it's not a big deal for me) Hope they solve it soon. Sad because in my opinion it is otherwise a fantastic car!! Keep up the good work!!
The production car has just started deliveries. Is the negative talk regarding the production version with the latest software or is it regarding the pre production cars?
@@ItsOnlyElectric Production version. Started delivering at the end of September here in Sweden. But I'm not worried. Guaranteed to come update through OTA
G9P owner here (DK), agree with your comment. Fantastic car, have done a long roadtrip through Sweden last month and a lot of daily driving. Xpilot is not up to par, but in general I've learned most quirks and how to avoid problems. Similar, but not as bad, as Tesla SW issues early on. Looking forward to OTA.
Very very happy with the car. For me its a big car, but no problem getting used to it. Easy to drive, silent and comfortly, autoparking works great. Air suspension is perfekt. As others have requested, suggest you try to test an SR with LFP battery, should be the best deal. I went all in to get AWD and air, probably not needed. No need for the extra power anyway. As always, thanks for great content, already a subscriber :)
Impressively quiet and amazing charging time. Bjørn in Norway managed to get it charging at 316 kWh a couple of times at IONITY. I wonder how the noise level compares to a BMW iX, that’s the quietest vehicle I have every been in, that includes Mercedes Maybach, RR Phantom and Bentley Mulsanne. Will you test an iX?
what do you estimate for a realistic range for the standard version? I belive you can charge that battery type to 100%... kind regards and keep up the great video's!
Hello. Very nice test. I would like to ask which car, regardless of the parameters, is more pleasant and comfortable for you? Which one would you choose xp. G9 or Nio EL6? 🧐🤓
Great idea, I totally understand. I had both cars pre-ordered. I finally chose one of them. It was a difficult decision, even though it wasn't actually completely up to my free will. I will write a comment under the upcoming video. Thank you.@@ItsOnlyElectric
What does the EL6 really get besides battery swapping and a HUD? You're still stuck to a subscription and if you purchase the battery + interior packages you're paying more than the G9 top trim + interior packages (Dutch prices). I checked out all competitors to the G9 and in the end picked the G9 because it's just so much more value. Didn't really have to doubt about the EL6 in the end. The G9 comes with air suspension, better efficiency, way better charging and a passenger screen. Fast charging is just so much more practical than the swapping until Nio gets enough infrastructure with good European charging infrastructure. And to do that Nio needs money, so they need to charge more for their car. In the meantime it's inferior at charging (but still okay). Seems like something that's impossible to maintain.
The mechanics are on the inside of the body and opening inwards. So I guess it's less vulnerable to failure than some other ports, but will be interesting to see it during winter. 😃
@@ItsOnlyElectric Thanks for the feedback! It's quite difficult to judge the colors inside the Xpeng configurator. Your videos give a much better impression.
@@ItsOnlyElectric thanks! Looked more practical than a c40 but still narrow. I'm guessing the height of it and driving position make it easier to look directly back . Yep, when you were talking about it you said nio (I think but possible my brain has stopped functioning as I'm comparing this to the el6/7 in my head)
This car is amazing, especially given it massively undercuts the price of the EQS SUV. Great range and efficiency, insane charging, whisper quiet. Only annoying things are the slightly awkward lane keeping and the binging noises which would drive me crazy. Any specifics on the ride quality?
Small tip with the thumbnail, this is the kinda thumbnail some youtubers use when they don't actually have seen the car in real-life, I would change it to a shot of the video.
@@ItsOnlyElectric so much better! I think you’ll see an increase in views if you keep including yourself in the thumbnails. Also helps building the brand. 👍🏼
Nice test again, but I belive range result is not correct. The reason is that Xpeng G9 DOES NOT show you the complate trip average range consumption, just the last part. So if you drive fast, and then slower at the end the range result is to high since consumption is to low. Specielly in this kind of test with not a fixed speed.
@@ItsOnlyElectric it looks like it does, but in reality it just show the consumption for the last 50km or something. ( not documented by XPENG) Bjørn Nyland did a test to prove it. If you drive slow for a distance and then fast you will end up that based on consumption the battery is larger than they claim. What was the total distance on test, the WLTP rated range at start and the WLTP rated range at end? (since it is missing percent this is the only way to prove it). This is common by the Chinese brands to only show average consumption on last 50km
I would be very interested for you to try and get an entry level G9 with the smaller battery. To see if it feels lacking like a 75kWh MODEL X or whether it stills feels like a great buy for the lower price.
Interesting idea 💡 The everyday difference is almost none when it comes to range since you charge the LFP to 100% compared to 80% for the NMC, it's only on long trips you see the difference. 80% of 570km = 456km LFP range = 480km
@@ItsOnlyElectric I did not know the entry level G9 was LFP are you sure? If so great! Lot of money saved and as you say daily needs covered fine and then some.
@@ItsOnlyElectric You are correct. Google "The entry-level G9 is powered by a 78.2 kWh LFP battery that enables a 570 km (CLTC). The RWD version also has a long-range version, equipped with a 98-kWh battery and a 702 km range. The G9 4WD has the same 98-kWh battery, but its range is limited to 650 km due to higher energy consumption.29 Aug 2023" Entry level for the win! I said that...!
If the version number follows that of China, then XPilot 2.5 is a few generations behind. It's been superceded by XNGP in China. Maybe the highway NGP will find its way to Europe soon.
In a fair comparison to the EL6, the g9 is more expensive by $16,000, but that leaves the g9 with a slightly larger wheelbase, (the wheelbase on the el6 is big enough for adults too in my opinion) and air suspension, (the el6 has very comfortable suspensions and most likely the complaint will be that they even too soft) Another difference is that filling the electricity in the g9 takes 5 times longer, in terms of autonomous driving hardware it has two less normal sensors and no lidar sensor, the rest is pretty similar, choose for yourself.
If you buy the el6 with the big battery it's the exact same price as the G9 Performance. That's a more fair comparison I think. Agree regarding the suspension both very comfortable the adaptive dampers on the EL6 are surprisingly close to a air suspension when it comes to comfort.
But why would you buy with the battery? It's giving up the whole idea of NIO. You also save 80 percent of the additional cost of a larger battery with upgrades and downgrades.
Can't do a range test in sport mode with one car and eco with another. That's part of the charm with electric performance cars, they can all be economical. It's all about Software
Just a calculation: Scenario 1: 4 adults on a weekend trip (80kg x 4 + 40kg luggage) - OK Scenario 2: 2 adults 3 kids on a weekend trip (80kg x 2 + 50kg x 3 + 50kg luggage) - OK Scenario 3: 5 adults on a trip - Very hard. Will work if average weight per adult is 73kgs abd without luggage.
@@ItsOnlyElectric yeah Iam 120 kg and 205 cm so not so easy. I liked the car alot better then all the others. I have not tried the new Nio el 6 yet or maybe there is coming somthing good in 2024. its not easy too find a ev that fit a tall family + dog.

Nice test again, but I belive range result is not correct. The reason is that Xpeng G9 DOES NOT show you the complate trip average range consumption, just the last part. So if you drive fast, and then slower at the end the range result is to high since consumption is to low. Specielly in this kind of test with not a fixed speed.
It shows the consumption since start, so yes it's the average consumption for the whole trip.
@@ItsOnlyElectric it looks like it does, but in reality it just show the consumption for the last 50km or something. ( not documented by XPENG) Bjørn Nyland did a test to prove it. If you drive slow for a distance and then fast you will end up that based on consumption the battery is larger than they claim. What was the total distance on test, the WLTP rated range at start and the WLTP rated range at end? (since it is missing percent this is the only way to prove it). This is common by the Chinese brands to only show average consumption on last 50km
Can someone do a video demonstration with android auto on the xpeng g9 ? Via Carlinkit?
I think Xpeng is getting android auto support very soon.
@ItsOnlyElectric We are not sure. That's why I wanted to try with the Carlinkit..
Testing the G9 in a coulple of weeks with the latest software, stay tuned
Nice!! Thank you!!
I would be very interested for you to try and get an entry level G9 with the smaller battery. To see if it feels lacking like a 75kWh MODEL X or whether it stills feels like a great buy for the lower price.
Interesting idea 💡
The everyday difference is almost none when it comes to range since you charge the LFP to 100% compared to 80% for the NMC, it's only on long trips you see the difference.
80% of 570km = 456km
LFP range = 480km
@@ItsOnlyElectric I did not know the entry level G9 was LFP are you sure? If so great! Lot of money saved and as you say daily needs covered fine and then some.
@@ItsOnlyElectric You are correct. Google
"The entry-level G9 is powered by a 78.2 kWh LFP battery that enables a 570 km (CLTC). The RWD version also has a long-range version, equipped with a 98-kWh battery and a 702 km range. The G9 4WD has the same 98-kWh battery, but its range is limited to 650 km due to higher energy consumption.29 Aug 2023"
Entry level for the win! I said that...!
😉
Is that 80% target only for DC charging or also AC (slow)? Ordered a performance model but if that is the case I might want to change and save money
XPEV Good
If the version number follows that of China, then XPilot 2.5 is a few generations behind. It's been superceded by XNGP in China. Maybe the highway NGP will find its way to Europe soon.
Yes, never version and better hardware available on Chinese cars.
Do you know if there are other upgraded to the G9 in China (in respect to the pre-upgrade version)?
In a fair comparison to the EL6, the g9 is more expensive by $16,000, but that leaves the g9 with a slightly larger wheelbase, (the wheelbase on the el6 is big enough for adults too in my opinion) and air suspension, (the el6 has very comfortable suspensions and most likely the complaint will be that they even too soft) Another difference is that filling the electricity in the g9 takes 5 times longer, in terms of autonomous driving hardware it has two less normal sensors and no lidar sensor, the rest is pretty similar, choose for yourself.
If you buy the el6 with the big battery it's the exact same price as the G9 Performance. That's a more fair comparison I think. Agree regarding the suspension both very comfortable the adaptive dampers on the EL6 are surprisingly close to a air suspension when it comes to comfort.
But why would you buy with the battery? It's giving up the whole idea of NIO. You also save 80 percent of the additional cost of a larger battery with upgrades and downgrades.
It's easier to compare apples with apples that way.
Why do people care so much about 0-100? I rate comfort,stability,sound level then power.its a family car
It's the performance version. 😃
It's charging overrides everything
The Xpeng does not have HUDs ☹
Yesz unfortunately not
Your speak perfect English
Thank you 😃
Go NIO...
So you buy a performance version of a vehicle, then recommend putting everything into ECO setting. Perfect thinking for an electric vehicle person 😂
I need to, to be able to create a consistent comparison.
Can't do a range test in sport mode with one car and eco with another. That's part of the charm with electric performance cars, they can all be economical. It's all about Software
We cancelled the car because of the weight load limit of 365 kg.
Yes, I get that. Really strange that it's so low?
Just a calculation:
Scenario 1: 4 adults on a weekend trip (80kg x 4 + 40kg luggage) - OK
Scenario 2: 2 adults 3 kids on a weekend trip (80kg x 2 + 50kg x 3 + 50kg luggage) - OK
Scenario 3: 5 adults on a trip - Very hard. Will work if average weight per adult is 73kgs abd without luggage.
@@ItsOnlyElectric yeah Iam 120 kg and 205 cm so not so easy. I liked the car alot better then all the others. I have not tried the new Nio el 6 yet or maybe there is coming somthing good in 2024. its not easy too find a ev that fit a tall family + dog.
@stalehelvik6316 205...that's not easy! I'm 193cm and 90kg and have problems with a lot of cars.
@@ItsOnlyElectricso of all the cars you have tested in 2023 are best good for you as the driver when you have long legs.
EV range and consumption tests below 120km/h are all nonsense
Haha..why? Under 1% of my total driving consists of speeds over 120% and I think that goes for over 90% of the world's population.
