2026 XPeng G9L REV: 1,602 km Combined Range From $37,300

XPeng's G9L is the "big brother" of the existing G9, a five-seat flagship SUV in China that stretches to 5,120 mm and drops the third-row debate entirely in favor of genuinely spacious second-row seating. It went on sale in China on September 17, 2026 with six trims, and this article centers on the range-extended (REV) version: 370 kW (496 hp), a 63.3 kWh LFP battery good for 435 km of pure-electric CLTC range, and a combined CLTC rating of 1,602 km once the 1.5T generator engine and 60-liter fuel tank join in. The REV starts at CNY 249,800 (about $37,300 at 6.70 CNY per USD) at the limited-time launch price, against a CNY 259,800 guide price (about $38,800). XPeng builds the same body as a pure battery-electric vehicle too, from CNY 231,800 (about $34,600) and topping out at 755 km CLTC on the largest pack. Chinese Car Reviewer walked a showroom unit finished in dark grey metallic with the car plugged in and charging, giving a hands-on look at the REV during the pre-launch dealer rollout.

Performance & Specs

The REV powertrain the reviewer looked at pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged generator engine (110 kW) with a dual-motor AWD electric setup for a combined 370 kW (496 hp) and 695 Nm of torque, reaching 100 km/h in 4.95 seconds and topping out at an electronically limited 200 km/h — figures the reviewer independently confirmed on camera ("power output will be 370 kW along with 695 Nm of torque... 0 to 200 kph... 4.9 seconds"), matching XPeng's own launch figures almost exactly. The BEV side of the lineup starts with a single 270 kW (362 hp) rear motor and 465 Nm on the entry 702 Max trim (6.8s 0-100 km/h) and steps up to a dual-motor AWD setup of 430 kW (577 hp) and 695 Nm on the Ultra SE, Ultra and Ultra Flagship trims: 4.6 seconds to 100 km/h on the two 660 km versions and 4.45 seconds on the 755 km Ultra Flagship. Rear-wheel steering is standard across the whole range, shrinking the turning radius to 5.4 meters on a car over 5.1 meters long, and dual-chamber air suspension with variable-damping shocks is standard as well. XPeng offers 20-, 21- and 22-inch wheel designs; the showroom car wore the 22-inch set with Michelin tires, staggered 265/40 R22 at the front and 285/40 R22 at the rear.

Sitting inside the demo car, the reviewer specifically called out generous leg- and headroom in the second row, backed up by the 3,100 mm wheelbase — longer than the standard G9's. Every seat gets electric adjustment, and the front seats can be individually or jointly reclined, including zero-gravity positions, with up to 24-way power adjustment on the driver's seat. With the trunk open on camera, the hydraulic tailgate revealed 1,152 L of cargo space with the second row up, split across a 904 L main floor bay, an 18 L side pocket and a 230 L sunken storage area (a 192 L lower well plus 38 L of underfloor storage). The BEV versions add a 109 L front trunk (frunk), confirmed both by the reviewer and by XPeng's own spec sheet; the REV doesn't get one, since the generator engine occupies that space. Curb weight ranges from roughly 2,620 kg on the base RWD BEV up to 2,835 kg on the heavier AWD REV.

Charging & Battery

Every G9L trim, REV included, runs on an 800V electrical architecture paired with a 5C-rate battery, which XPeng uses to back its headline claim of roughly 450 km of CLTC range added in about 9 minutes of DC fast charging on the BEV. XPeng's configuration sheet lists a 10-80% charge in as little as 10.7 minutes on the 91.9 kWh LFP BEV trims and 11.7 minutes on the 110 kWh Ultra Flagship, and launch coverage quotes as little as about 11 minutes for the REV as well. The REV's 63.3 kWh LFP battery is smaller by design — enough for 435 km of CLTC EV-only range — and is backed by a 60-liter fuel tank and the 1.5T generator engine for the 1,602 km combined figure. The BEV lineup splits between a 91.9 kWh LFP pack on the 702 Max, 660 Ultra SE and 660 Ultra trims and a larger 110 kWh ternary lithium pack on the range-topping 755 Ultra Flagship. Outlets quote differing peak DC kilowatt figures and no AC charging rate is confirmed, so those numbers stay TBA.

Design & Interior

The G9L keeps XPeng's current closed-off-nose design language, with twin LED digital running lights across the front fascia that stay visible day and night, and a full-width LED tail light bar with a sporty rear spoiler the reviewer called out as a clear styling upgrade over the standard G9. A slim turquoise light strip sits beside the taillight — China's mandated color for an external assisted-driving status indicator — and lights up when the driving-assist system is active. Inside, the cabin centers on a large floating touchscreen running XOS 6.2.0.8904 in the demo unit (still Chinese-only; XPeng told the reviewer an English localization update is planned for September 2026), a rear-seat entertainment screen mounted on the front headrests, and a panoramic glass roof with a manual sunshade. All four doors and the auto-deploying illuminated side steps are power-operated, with the tailgate opening hydraulically at the touch of a button. The reviewer also highlighted a wireless phone charger, twin cup holders, and the second-row refrigerator built into the center console — features that, together with the four power doors, are meant to read closer to a chauffeured luxury SUV than a typical family crossover.

Technology & Features

XPeng centers the G9L's tech story on its second-generation VLA (Vision-Language-Action) assisted-driving model, run on up to three in-house Turing AI chips for as much as 2,250 TOPS of effective compute; the entry Max carries one chip (750 TOPS) and the Ultra SE two (1,500 TOPS). The showroom car's infotainment ran on XOS 6.2.0.8904 with the VLA-based driving-assist stack active, and the reviewer noted the system felt noticeably smoother in daily use than the outgoing G9's software, even while still awaiting an English-language interface update. Cabin tech includes a head-up display, automated parking assist, and voice/gesture-controlled features for the doors and side steps. The G9L carries no LiDAR, with XPeng betting on a camera-led sensor suite and arguing this keeps latency lower for the VLA system, though that approach remains unproven against LiDAR-equipped rivals in independent testing.

Safety & ADAS

XPeng says the G9L was engineered to meet the design standards of four major five-star safety ratings and ran 192 crash tests across the Euro NCAP, ANCAP, C-NCAP and CIASI protocols, though independent Euro NCAP, ANCAP or C-NCAP results have not yet been published for this specific model. The car carries 11 airbags, including a three-chamber, 41-liter far-side airbag designed to keep the driver and front passenger from colliding with each other in a severe side impact. XPeng also quotes a 700 mm wading depth backed by dual dedicated wading radars, plus manual door release within two minutes of a power loss if the car is submerged. The assisted-driving suite is camera-led rather than LiDAR-based, with the turquoise exterior status light confirming to pedestrians and other drivers when the system is actively steering or braking the car.

ADAS LEVEL	L2+ (VLA 2.0, camera-led, no LiDAR)
ADAS FEATURES	AEB, ACC, LKA, BSM, 360° camera, automated parking assist, wading-depth radar, exterior assisted-driving status light

Pricing & Availability

XPeng launched the G9L in China on September 17, 2026 with six trims priced at CNY 241,800–319,800 (about $36,100–47,700) at guide price, or CNY 231,800–309,800 (about $34,600–46,200) at the limited-time launch price. That price includes a CNY 10,000 cash reduction for orders placed by November 15, 2026, and XPeng adds equipment perks on top. The two REV trims are the 1602 Ultra SE at CNY 259,800 guide / 249,800 limited-time (about $38,800 / $37,300) and the 1602 Ultra Flagship at CNY 309,800 / 299,800 (about $46,200 / $44,700), while the four BEV trims run from the 702 Max at CNY 231,800 to the 755 Ultra Flagship at CNY 309,800 limited-time. Pre-sales opened on August 11 at a starting price of CNY 259,800 (about $38,800), so the launch-day entry price is about 7% lower at guide price and about 11% lower with the limited-time discount. The G9L had already reached at least 119 stores across China by mid-August, and XPeng has said deliveries begin in September. All USD figures here use about 6.70 CNY per USD.

XPeng plans to sell the G9L in 64 markets. The European premiere is set for the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026, with European cars built by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, with European specifications and pricing expected at that event. The first right-hand-drive units have come off the line in Guangzhou, with Australia the first destination confirmed. The reviewer noted that the showroom car's infotainment was still Chinese-only, with an English update expected in September 2026.

How It Compares

The XPeng G7 EREV is the price-led sibling: its entry trim costs CNY 195,800 (about $29,200), roughly $8,100 less than the G9L REV, and it even quotes a longer 1,704 km combined CLTC figure. But it is a mid-size 4,918 mm SUV with a single 218 kW (292 hp) motor and 400 km of electric range, so it works better as a smaller, cheaper alternative than a like-for-like rival. The Li Auto L8 is the closest in size at 5,135 mm long with five seats, and it matches the G9L on electric range (430 km against 435 km) while offering more power at 420 kW (563 hp) and 1,670 km combined. It also starts at CNY 359,800 (about $53,700), roughly $16,400 above the G9L REV. In this set the G9L's 1,602 km is not the longest combined figure; its case rests on Li L8-class size and a 435 km electric range for far less money.
