I test drove it too (in The Netherlands), just after a software-update end of June. In fact I ordered one. Will sell my Model S. Tested Xpilot too. Lane keeping, adaptive cruise control and lane change worked quite well, just like in MS. Voice control worked fine (please open my window). It knows who is talking. My friend said He Xpeng, please switch to sports mode. It said: cannot do that, you are not the driver. Quite impressive. Eager to get it in October.

Thanks for the quick look! This car is extremely promising. Pre-ordered in Norway and the price here is extraordinary considering the features, abilities and qualities of this car. No doubt Xpeng is taking a loss in an attempt to beat the general skepticism towards Chinese manufacturers and getting local customers to choose Xpeng.

Nobody seems able to point out any downsides of this car except for the light steering. Really seems Xpeng nailed it, which is incredible at this price. Really hope the RWD is comfortable too, even though it will not have the air suspension.

Test drove the pre-production last week. I've owned a Tesla model X and currently drive a Mach-e AWD. Up front I will say I was not expecting much from the XPENG... My benchmark is the Model X and literally everything I have driven since then has not met my expectations. Well... The XPENG was nothing less than horrible!... Horribly good! Shockingly good in fact. The response time was better than the Model X, the air suspension was better tuned than the Model X (even for a pre production), the seating and adjustments were better than the model X and the passenger room in the rear was the best I've ever seen. Now the audio was not good... but I later found out that the car I test drove, being pre-production, did not have the fine tuning that will be in the production version, so I'll ignore that issue for now. It's a Beast! Yet driving it is effortless. There are way more refinements in this car than the Model X... and frankly, you are getting way more for your money with the XPENG. Now being a software engineer, I have always said that EVs are just computers on wheels. The core of these cars is the software. And like any computer, you want to be sure that the software is continually developed, the UI is easy and intuitive to use (or learn to use), and is safe, secure and reliable. The one thing missing just now is security - they are having to make some major refinements for the EU market - but the UI is the finest I've ever seen.. even against Tesla, which is the industry benchmark. I have to change out my Mach-e in May next year, and I had planned for a Model Y. However, after test driving 'the beast', the Model Y is now in second place.

Great review, you are obviously enthusiastic about this G9 ;-) Me too, I test drove it yesterday. Also measured the noise level, it was 69dB at 100-110 kmph, so really silent (in fact, 1dB less than the Bentley in which we drove to Xpeng). So I ordered it, exactly as in your video, black in grey, AWD with comfort/audio package. They say it will be delivered in December. Can't wait!

Verkligen intressant! Stor, snabb, prisvärd. Ska bara övertyga frun att vi kan ha kinabil...

Great review for such a short time having the car. I think Xpeng has a winner here, and then G6, and more. Always good to see a company learn from their mistakes and improve.

Absolutely love your style, down to earth, precise and systematic, like a nordic version of Thomas from autogefühl👍🇩🇰

There is no doubt that Chinese manufacturers (and government) take the advantage of ICE to BEV change and positioned themselves at the top of it. I am amazed to see all these features in a BEV vehicle at this price range. Both European and US OEMs have serious challenges to beat Chinese brands in competition.

Would love to give it a go!! But not available in the UK yet!! I would love to be an ambassador for Xpeng in the UK.

Chinese EV cars are leading the way. I was expecting a bit more room in the back seats.

Tesla Now after a year and a half is thinking about using LiDAR, but Xpeng was the FIRST COMPANY IN THE WORLD to use LiDAR on the production car

Nice review! I’m hoping to see a review between the standard and premium interior, quality, difference in sound etc. All G9 videos currently on YouTube have the premium interior, would be nice if we could see the standard interior.

[rededwards]

which cars are now more Premium or BETTER looking...Chinese or European. ?

[maestroRodskjaer]

You sure it's ventilated seats in the back? The Norwegians says it's heated and massage, but not ventilated...

[galaxykiller]

first comment ig lol
nice car thx for giving the information

[herozeroth]

MR. Tall guy! Were you comfortable with Nio et5 while driving it?

[David]

How would it compare to a NIO EL8 or EL7?

[hadtobe]

Maybe when talking about the pano roof, you could mention some of its properties for heat shielding. Is there a cover etc.
