Xpeng today officially launched its extended-range X9 MPV

Xpeng today officially launched its extended-range X9 MPV, aiming to capture market share in the hybrid MPV segment. The model comes in two variants - the 1602 Max and 1602 Ultra - with starting prices of yuan 309,800 ($43,350) and 329,800 yuan ($46,200) respectively 

The Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker today officially launched its extended-range seven-seater X9 MPV, aiming to capture market share in the hybrid MPV segment with competitive pricing. 

The final starting price for the X9 extended-range electric vehicle is 309,800 yuan ($43,550), representing a reduction of 40,200 yuan, or 11.49 percent, from the 350,000 yuan ($49,300) starting price announced during its pre-sales earlier this month. This is also significantly lower than the 359,800 yuan ($50,620) starting price for the MPV's battery electric vehicle (BEV) counterpart, signaling the company's ambitions for its first EREV model. 

Specifically, the X9 EREV comes in two variants - the 1602 Max and 1602 Ultra - with starting prices of 309,800 yuan and 329,800 yuan ($46,200) respectively. The 1602 Ultra variant had a pre-sales starting price of 370,000 yuan. 

The X9 EREV is Xpeng's first model equipped with the Kunpeng Super Electric System. The company will next roll out the EREV variants for its G7 SUV, G6 SUV, and P7+ sedan. Xpeng plans to launch three EREV models in the first quarter 2026 and introduce four all-new models throughout 2026, offering both BEV and EREV variants. 

Xpeng will have seven models with dual powertrain options next year, significantly expanding its market reach and driving substantial sales growth, the company’s management said. 

The X9 EREV measures 5,316 mm in length, 1,988 mm in width, and 1,785 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,160 mm. It is longer than the all-electric X9 BEV's 5,293 mm length, while other dimensions remain identical. The model features a 63.3-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack from CALB, delivering a CLTC range of 452 kilometers. This makes it one of the longest-range EREVs currently available in the Chinese market. 

Xpeng aims for the vehicle to operate solely on electricity in 90 percent of scenarios without activating the range extender by offering a high-capacity battery pack. It features a 60-liter fuel tank, achieving a combined range of 1,602 kilometers when both fuel and battery are fully replenished. 

Built on an 800-volt high-voltage architecture, the model supports 5C charging rates, enabling a 313-kilometer range in just 10 minutes of charge. The X9 EREV features a 1.5T engine as its range extender, achieving a maximum power generation efficiency of 3.6 Wh/L. It is a single-motor rear-wheel-drive model, with the motor delivering a peak power of 210 kW (281 horsepower, 285,5 Cv) and peak torque of 465 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 8 seconds. 

The lower-priced Max variant features one Turing AI chip with 750 TOPS computing power developed by Xpeng in-house. The higher-priced Ultra variant incorporates three Turing AI chips, delivering a combined 2250 TOPS. Its cockpit chip is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P, currently the mainstream choice for premium EV models. 

Inside, the Xpeng X9 EREV is equipped with a 17.3-inch central control screen and a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P cockpit chip. The interior layout largely mirrors the pure electric version. The new vehicle also incorporates a 21-inch panoramic HUD (Head-Up Display). This HUD system supports lane-level navigation integrated with SR (Spatial Recognition) environment display. 

The second row offers dual zero-gravity seats with control buttons conveniently located on the inner side of the armrests. The Xpeng X9 EREV will also feature a 21.4-inch second-row entertainment screen. The third-row seats support adjustment, backrest folding, and flip-and-stow functionality, with a 4/6 split-folding capability.

NIO’s 100,000-order surge signals a fresh fightback in China’s EV Market

A stronger model mix and rapid early take-up for new SUVs have lifted the Chinese EV maker back into contention, though sustained deliveries and margins remain the key proof points NIO ES9 SUV NIO Group’s latest order surge marks a sharp improvement in competitive momentum, with roughly 100,000 firm orders booked across its three brands in the four weeks to mid-June 2026, according to Goldman Sachs’ research . The same data put the group's two-week total above 47,000 units, suggesting that demand remained resilient after the initial launch spike for its flagship ES9 SUV. NIO sells through three brands : the premium Nio marque, the family-focused Onvo, and the compact Firefly. The surge reset the company's standing in a market it had trailed for much of the past year. The scale of the rebound was clearest in Goldman’s week-22 reading (May 25–31), when NIO’s weekly firm orders reached 38,810 units. That placed the company ahead of Geely’s Galaxy and Zeekr lines combined at 22,1...
