Xpeng X9 range and charging

Built on an 800V silicon carbide platform, the AWD Performance can pull up to 542kW on a DC fast charger, enough to take the battery from 10 to 80% in as little as 12 minutes under test conditions.

The Standard Range runs a 94.8kWh LFP battery for 535km of WLTP-rated range, while the AWD Performance steps up to a 110kWh NMC pack good for 580km.

Every X9 gets standard active rear-wheel steering and dual-chamber air suspension, which Xpeng says sharpens low-speed manoeuvring in a vehicle stretching 5.3 metres long.

Interior and technology

Inside, the X9 seats seven as standard but reconfigures down to four, five or six seats, with cargo space growing from 721L to 2554L when the back rows fold flat. Second-row passengers get Xpeng's Zero Gravity seats with 14-way adjustment, heating, ventilation and massage.

Standard equipment includes:

• Nappa leather upholstery
• 17.3-inch central touchscreen and 21-inch head-up display
• 21.4-inch rear entertainment display and 27-speaker XOPERA audio
• Built-in fridge, panoramic glass roof, dual 50W wireless charging

Driver assistance runs through Xpeng's in-house Turing AI chip, covering adaptive cruise, lane centring, auto emergency braking and a 360-degree camera with transparent chassis view.

Xpeng backs the X9 with a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for private buyers and an eight-year/160,000km cover on the battery and motors.

Xpeng's entry point in a crowded segment

At $89,900, the X9 opens just above the Denza D9's $88,185 FWD but well under the Zeekr 009's $115,900 starting price, putting Xpeng in direct volume competition with Denza rather than chasing buyers priced out of the pricier Zeekr.

The $20,000 jump to AWD Performance, in exchange for 45km more range, dual-motor grip and confirmed power figures, suggests Xpeng expects that grade to carry most local sales rather than treating FWD Standard Range as the volume seller.

With the Hyundai Staria Lounge hybrid still undercutting all of them at $73,740, Xpeng's real fight in Australia is proving the X9's EV-only proposition is worth the premium over a cheaper hybrid alternative, not just beating other EVs on spec sheet.

Xpeng has priced the X9 to sit right between the segment's budget and premium ends, and that gap gives it room to compete on both value and tech. Whether that's enough to pull buyers away from the Denza D9 or the still-cheaper Staria Lounge will show up in the first few months of deliveries.
