XPeng, a Chinese company that makes electric vehicles, is set to expand its offerings in Europe with the launch of its new large SUV, the G9L. This model will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show and is intended to be the top vehicle in XPeng's European lineup. The G9L is 5.12 meters long, making it longer than XPeng's current European flagship, the G9, which measures 4.89 meters. The G9L is expected to offer a more luxurious interior, including a 21.4-inch screen for rear passengers, highlighting its focus on comfort and high-end features.
XPeng has previously introduced the P7+ sedan and the L03, a more affordable compact SUV. With the G9L, the company is shifting its focus toward the premium segment of the market. The "L" in G9L stands for Luxury, and the vehicle is designed to appeal to both families and those seeking a high-end driving experience. The G9L is currently available with five seats, but a six-seat version may be introduced at the Paris Motor Show, possibly only for European buyers.
Details about the G9L's technical specifications for the European market have not been officially released, but Chinese reports suggest two electric power options: one producing 367 horsepower and another with all-wheel drive and 585 horsepower, both using an 800V electrical system. Charging from 10 to 80% using direct current is estimated to take 11 minutes. In China, the G9L has a range of 702 to 755 kilometers under the CLTC cycle, though this is likely to be lower when measured using the more realistic WLTP standard. In China, the G9L is also available as an EREV (electric with range extender), offering a total range of up to 1,602 kilometers, but it is unclear if this version will be available in Europe.
The G9L will be manufactured in Europe, which could help XPeng avoid additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in the European Union. XPeng plans to reveal official pricing for the French market during the Paris Motor Show. The G9L is expected to compete with large luxury SUVs from German automakers, positioning XPeng as a growing player in the premium electric vehicle segment.
