I had the great fortune of actually meeting this guy today. He parked the Xpeng G9 outside my house. Obviously, I got out, and not only does this guy make excellent videos, he's actually a very nice person as well. He invited me to sit in the car, and I immediately fell in love with this car. This car is almost as luxurious as top-of-the-line Mercedes, Audi's, and BMW's, but at a fraction of the price. I can surely understand why the German manufacturers are very afraid of the Chinese competition. These guys are coming, and they are coming fast. Thank you for your time and effort.
In China where i live you can get G9 for 31k EUR. And imagine....it doesnt sell that well. There are better cars:) This is power of COMPETITION in China. In europe you have duopol of france-germany shit-autos. Btw, i dont know any Chinese who drives manual transmission. Basically manual is just for village very very poor people., very rare.
I think the name Xpeng in itself is an obstacle to its success here in Europe. It sounds like a computer game. But the car really looks amazing, no doubt.
Newbie to your channel, Love the review, have watched a few of the G9. I really like it, would love it, (from the UK, don't know when will get Xpeng) but a couple of things you showed that I haven't seen before, makes me want it even more! 😂
We don't know, we don't know?? The Xpeng G9s which until now have been reviewed have all been prototypes and could very well be mockups, which are meant to help Xpeng raise some money from investors. With Xpeng all seems quite mysterious, sorry.
@@nickcholeva6844 Its hard to say whats their plan. But if they have succes in other european countries. I dont see why they wouldn't enter the UK market?
Not only is it value for money, its also very advanced tech. I am waiting for the G7 and hoping Xpeng doe snot go bankrupt by then. Then I might switch over from my Tesla MY to this
You have a very different way of presenting electric cars, (saw MG4 and G9) very differtent from 'traditional reviewers' and I like it very much! Keep it up!
Very nice car. good presentation! The only one with illustration of the outside speakers which should reduce the noise of wheels contact with the ground... You unfortunately did not show the trailer hook! Yes, there is a nice automatic trailer hook available... Yes, Xpeng is generous... Unfortunately, they do not make trailers for now so one is not delivered with the car... Does it have the inflatable bed in the trunk?
Xpeng is the best EV on the market but xpeng has the worst marketing program. THEY DON'T KNOW how to sell it. They woukd have problems selling gold. We made gold with water on the mind!
Very interesting video. I have a G9, it is really a good car. I am surprised that you like the brand name "XiaoPeng". In China, most people don't like the name, because "Xiao" means small in Chinese. Chinese people don't think "Small" is a good letter in a brand name
Great review! Does the panaromic roof have a sunshade option or the chromatic shading option? At 17:58; you mentioned the sun was too bright in the front but it looks fine from the glass roof.
9:39 you dont need +500hp and 0-100km/h in 3.9sec to be able go overtake and “get out of situations”. This kind of acceleration is a bit of a gimmick. Other than that it is a really nice car.
I completely agree. I got the Model 3 Performance because, fast. It's fun for the first month or so, after that i end up in chill mode 95% of the time anyway. 300hp is plenty.
@@YBCTR 313hp in the standard range gives you a 0-100kmph at 6,4 seconds. The same as a Polo GTI. Not exactly "slow". Plenty of punch to overtake and stuff.
@@YBCTR Its not a very heavy car for an EV. Bloody Merc EQS is even 200 kg heavier than the heaviest G9. Tesla MY starts at 2000, this one starts at 2100 kg
Not like the Range Rover, the G9 is more like BMW style but still different. just look at the P7, it has a unique, strange and beautiful shape. G9 is also one of the best looking non-sport style SUVs. G6 is not good, copy of model Y.
@@YBCTR they can have v4 or v10 charging station. if the battery can only take 250kwh then it will only take 250 i would assume. otherwise the battery probably catch fire lol
But you need dedicated supercharging stations such as Xpeng S4 supercharging station and the 4C battery version of G9 to achieve that (>300kw). My G9 is 3C battery version, I got maximum 250kw charging speed on some of the S4 supercharging stations in Shanghai and Nanjing. But S4 supercharging stations are rare at the moment, most of the Xpeng charging stations are old S2 ones. On S2 charging stations, I normally get 120kw - 170kw. This is the real life performance.
It is very nice, just a bit small for a flag ship model though. The G9 can do 480kw peak charging on xPeng latest super charger. however,, in china it is not that important as the availability of not-so-fast rapid chargers everywhere make people care less about charging speed.
@@YBCTR for flagship suv，it needs to be 5.2m+, like the X7 or GLS. when i saw G9 for the first, i seriously thought i mistook it as G9 cause it was quite smaller than i expected.
Thank you for the info. The VW investment is very nice vote of trust from an auto leader who could really benefit from XPENG technologies and capabilities. Unfortunately, the 60% increase in stock value from this news couldn’t even last three weeks. The most recent June sales number for XPENG was barely 1.5% of the China’s NEV sales for the month. I found the sales number difficult to digest for a company with good car/suv. Good luck!
Funny people. 2023 outside the window.There are about a hundred car brands in China, multiply that by 3-4 models. They hold two auto fairs a year because they don't have time to show everything new. Of the top ten Chinese electric vehicles, all outperform any Western one in terms of performance. And this guy wonders why no one knows about some X Peng))
The car is great on paper and in terms of first driving impression. It will take more time to set foot in europe. The durability, realibility, and service quality are yet unknown. Moreover, there are like 3 service points in this country for such a high tech car. The price tag is ok but not wild enough to serve as a guinea pig. By the time all this is proven and fixed, the price will jump up.
Yup agreed, there for sure some unknown factors in play - and Im looking forward to see how it performs over time - But definitely one to keep an eye on!
Ærligt ja - Du får bare mere all around bilmæssigt. Tesla har deres infrastruktur af ladestandere som er svært at konkurrere med, men på de fleste andre punkter føles det som et step up!
Den er en klasse over, både i størrelse og luxusfornemmelse. Næste år kommer G6, som er en mere direkte konkurrent til Model Y. Den er i øvrigt også produceret ved hjælp af giga casting, så der har Xpeng også taget ved lære af Tesla. Rækkevidde og opladning skulle også være i top (den har samme 800 volt ladeteknik som G9).
This channel barely gets any views... we're talking often less than 2000 per video, and suddenly they post a video of a Chinese XPeng vehicle and it gets 43,000 views. Oddly enough, they posted another XPeng video a little while back and that also strangely saw higher than normal views, that one got 10k. This is what's called company shareholders / Chinese view bots driving up view counts to get the video recommended and advertise the company's cars in Europe. Why are people not talking more about this? Probably because if Europeans buy this, then it'll lead to layoffs at European OEMs, cause a trade deficit. XPeng, like all companies building cars in China, utilizes cheap Chinese labor and terrible environmental regulations to pump up their corporate profits... leading to a transfer of wealth upwards from customer (who are paying full price according to the wealthier European market) to executives / shareholders.... instead of a larger chunk of that money going to laborers.. .on account of those laborers being paid a fraction of what Europeans are.
@@YBCTR Begs the question, why is only content for this specific company king. I mean... Xpeng... a relatively small producer and exporter. It was however once of the companies that saw huge investment capital surge in with investors praying it would be another Tesla.
