Deep test drive Xpeng G9: driving quality is surprising, large five-seat ride space is moderate

Xpeng G9 exterior: Cool sci-fi design

In previous years, Xpeng car with Xpeng P7, Xpeng G3 in the domestic market to harvest a lot of consumer recognition, especially the P7, in terms of appearance design can be said to be a great success. But the domestic new energy market is changing, the domestic new power brands are getting more and more volume, a new round of competition is always going on. In order to cope with this phenomenon, Xpeng decided to build mid-to-high-end luxury models to enhance the brand tone, while enriching its own product line to compete for more market share, therefore, Xpeng's first mid-to-high-end positioning of the car - G9 was born.

Xpeng G9 exterior: Cool sci-fi design

The G9 is a traditional family-style X-ROBOT FACE, the same as the P7, with an avant-garde and sci-fi front face that looks like a spaceship, and a larger and more imposing light package, with thicker light saber LED lights throughout, divided into three sections that look very eye-catching and recognizable.

At the same time, the G9 designers put more emphasis on a sense of seniority and refinement, with the cooling grille below adopting a blackened and internal dotted design, while the bottom front lip is still in the same color as the body, making the entire front end show a sense of hierarchy.

Personally, I think the most beautiful part of the G9 design is the side of the car, although there is no traditional waistline design and no leaping curve, but the side of the car adopts a long front end with a large wheelbase length ratio and a short rear design, this shape is a bit swooping forward, the perception is like a yacht, very elegant.

The blackened trim below the rear thick D-pillar and door frame brings a suspension effect to the entire roof. In addition, the 21-inch multi-spoke wheels are another visual highlight, with high-gloss silver and black strips staggered in a row, which are well designed to enhance the premium feel of the whole car.

The rear of the car is the same as the other models of Xpeng, all use the popular through-tail lights, but compared to the other models of Xpeng, the G9 through-tail lights have better internal detailing, and the visual effect is awesome when lit up at night. The G9 cockpit has a clear width difference with the body, forming a narrow visual effect, with the front echoes of the lower white, black and white design, the overall shape is very unique, but also to create a sense of sport.

G9 interior: lack of space inside the car, the trunk is large enough

G9 interior and appearance as a whole or continue the family design style, technology is the main focus, three screen design is not uncommon today, the right side of the dual screen resolution of 2K, built-in Qualcomm 8155 chip, image quality and smoothness of the car naturally, which has always been a strong point of the Xpeng. There is also a new design of the steering wheel, compared to the P7, both thick and thin and grip are much better, it is reported that the P7 in this year's revision will also be replaced with this new design of the steering wheel.

About 95% of the interior of the G9 is covered with soft leather, almost everywhere you can touch is soft material, the hard material part of the car is either bright black trim or silver chrome surface, so heaps of material, so that the sense of class in the cabin can be reflected, if replaced by the official brown double-spliced interior, the whole sense of class and luxury can also be a higher level.

There is an interesting design, the passenger's screen with anti-voyeur design, somewhat similar to our cell phone stickers on the anti-voyeur film, from the oblique side of the driver's perspective can not see the content of the passenger's screen, unfamiliar friends thought the screen is bad, in fact, the body slightly to the right to explore some, you can see the screen content, the advantage of doing so is to allow the driver to focus on driving, so that our driver's Attention is focused on the dashboard and the middle of the center screen, will not be distracted by the content of the passenger screen, to enhance the safety of the entire drive.

With a wheelbase of nearly three meters, is the ride space necessarily large?

The height of one meter eighty-five weight one hundred and forty-five pounds of the editor may be many car companies do not like the "hell space judge", but the Xpeng G9 as a car length of nearly four meters nine, wheelbase close to three meters of medium and large SUV, I think in the rear space should have a good performance. But when I sat in the back row, I found that the back row ride space is only moderate, the front row into a standard driving position, I can only get less than a fist of legroom in the back row.

After my observation, I found that the G9 gives more interior space to the trunk, and the depth of the trunk is more than one meter, which is excellent. But as we all know, the domestic market attaches great importance to the rear space of the vehicle, so I feel that this is picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

However, the G9 comes with power second-row seat backrest angle adjustment, as well as padded softly shaped wide seats and a fully flat floor, which pull back a lot of points for the G9's rear ride comfort.

G9 powerful, rich technology configuration

Xpeng G9 has the industry's first 5D music cockpit, Xopera concert hall, hardware G9 total of 28 acoustic units, including 18 Dana audio, support Dolby sound and seat vibration, with the car to provide 5D film source, you can enjoy 5D theater. But not many 5D sources are provided, and the overall performance of the audio quality is not too bad when listening to songs with Bluetooth on a daily basis, no amazing feeling, as the point that Xpeng has been strongly promoted, it does not seem to be so god.

The LIDAR is placed on the top of the front windshield unlike other manufacturers, the Xpeng G9 LIDAR is installed under the headlight cluster, which does not look abrupt, and the whole is more enhanced, and the Xpeng approach can also extend the detectable range of the LIDAR than the LIDAR on the top of the program, while in the headlight "eye

The G9 is equipped with the first mass-produced 800V high-voltage SIC (silicon carbide) system, with Xpeng's own super-charging pile, with the ability to charge 5 minutes of range of 200km, this experience has been infinitely close to the speed of gasoline car refueling.

Surprising dynamic performance

It's not hard to find that when Xpeng advertises the G9 to the public, it has been strongly promoting the 5D music cockpit. But when I drove the G9, I think Xpeng's propaganda seems to have gotten the focus wrong?

For the G9, in everyday driving control is actually the most surprising part. I tried the rear-drive version without air springs, hardware with a rear-mounted single motor, 313 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque, with an official 100 km acceleration of 6.4 seconds. With the advantages conferred by the rotor AC, the G9 naturally has no problem in terms of power response. In comfort or standard mode, the initial power output is relatively soothing, with a certain delay in response, very similar to the feeling of a gas car. When switching to sport mode or ejection mode, the feeling of accelerating sharply by pressing the floor electricity will make you think the car accelerates in less than 6.4 seconds per 100 kilometers.

Xpeng G9 driving texture is quite advanced

As a purely mechanical suspension version, the chassis of the rear-drive G9 is full of European style, the suspension is not soft, not hard, tough and supportive, a strong sense of weight, and very similar to the chassis of the ZEEKR 001 feeling, but different from the 001, G9 is not like the 001 almost all the information to you filtered out, but in the face of fine, potholes and small undulating road, will be some relatively fine and sharp vibrations are filtered out After that, the road feedback that is not annoying but with toughness will be transmitted into the cabin. Secondly, when it comes to some large undulations and impacts, the suspension action is crisp and clear, a stretch up and then a sink down immediately, the response is very quick and Q-tip, no redundant action at all.

A 2.2 tonne SUV, the road to do the action and cornering control body attitude is naturally a major problem, but the Xpeng G9 whether in high-speed parallel or in the corner continued to step on the electric door through the corner, the roll and body attitude are very stable control, there is no wavering "open boat feeling", can give the driver full confidence. Can give the driver full confidence. At the same time, when doing these more intense movements will not feel the car has a bulky feeling, as a car length of four meters nine wheelbase three meters SUV, G9's rear follow enough excellent, not dragging, flexibility is also great, this is the opposite of the chassis style similar to the ZEEKR 001.

The mechanical quality and driving quality of the pure mechanical chassis G9 is already quite advanced, and I believe that the performance version of the chassis with dual-chamber air springs should perform even more amazingly. Of course, no car is perfect, the dynamics of the G9 still has a little problem, the brake pedal has a strange feel and will appear after the brake stop nodding action. Overall, the G9's chassis is five parts comfort and five parts handling, very balanced, finding a good balance in the middle.

In the end

To sum up, Xpeng G9 is a strong product car, but because the pricing does not meet the expectations of most consumers, the two-day price change caused by the public opinion storm and publicity focus was not found, resulting in the G9 market now reflects less than expected. With the adjustment of Xpeng management, I also hope that the marketing strategy of G9 can be better improved, will not waste an excellent product.
