China's XPENG Launches G9 Flagship SUV - World's Fastest-Charging EV

XPeng Inc. has unveiled ts 4th production model G9 Flagship SUV for the Chinese market. XPENG G9 boasts a new powertrain system using China’s first 800 V mass-production Silicon Carbide (SiC) platform.

Supported by the company's new 480 kW S4 supercharging stations, the 4C version of G9 can add up to 200 km of CLTC range in as little as five minutes—this means it can charge from 10–80% in only 15 minutes.

The standard 3C version can charge from 10–80% in 20 minutes.

In  addition, G9 uses XPENG's second-generation Advanced Driver Assistance System, XNGP, featuring full-scenario driver assistance.

It uses 31 sensors and a front-view camera for advanced object detection—its front-mounting dual-LiDAR sensors cover 180º, reducing the size of blind spots.

XPENG has also introduced Xopera to G9. Xopera is XPENG's proprietary multimedia system, engineered to create an immersive in-cabin experience.

He Xiaopeng, CEO and Chairman of XPENG, says: "G9 is the world's fastest-charging mass-production SUV and boasts the industry's first full-scenario Advanced Driver Assistance System. This is topped off with a dual-chamber air suspension system and a luxurious smart cabin that includes a groundbreaking 5D music experience we call Xopera. G9 is a fusion of many technical innovations woven together into an elegant design and marks a significant milestone after eight years of dedication. We believe it will become the new benchmark for smart EVs, representing the last step before the realization of truly autonomous vehicles."

XPeng is headquartered in Guangzhou, China, with main offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, San Diego and Amsterdam. The Company’s Smart EVs are mainly manufactured at its plant in Zhaoqing, Guangdong province.
