XPeng G9 Hailed by many as the star of the show, it is certainly one of the standout cars. But the XPeng G9 doesn’t take too many chances on the design front, repeating a now familiar formula. Possibly the most important design element isn’t actually on the car itself, but XPeng’s new logo. This now apes more the family face of XPeng with cut outs in the X-shape which give the impression of headlights.
The XPeng G9 is the first model to feature the new logo on the now familiar robot family face. Driving the car is the new XPilot 4.0 system which gives start to park driving assistance. Lidar forms part of the related sensor suite and the G9 buries these in the headlight cluster. It is XPeng’s first model to be designed from the outset with both domestic and international markets in mind. A high waistline runs the length of the car and divides it according to the golden ratio and there is a short, front overhang together with a long rear overhang. The G9 benefits from the XPower 3.0 powertrain, one of the first 800V platforms in China, allowing the car to add 200km of range in five minutes when charged at a 480kWh outlet.
