Xpeng has unveiled the much-hyped X9 Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV), which integrates a huge high capacity 63.3 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a 1.5-liter turbocharged range-extending engine with a new standard of 1,602 km (995 miles) combined driving range under CLTC conditions. The vehicle will be a breakthrough in the EREV segment, combining electric efficiency and the flexibility of long-range, which suits the specifics of the diverse market.
Critical Specifications and Functionalities
– X9 EREV is based on Xpeng Kunpeng Super EREV system with high-voltage architecture 800 V and quick charging of 5C, and thus, the electric range could be replenished quickly.
– Pure electric range is 452km (281 miles) with a fuel tank size of 60 liters that increases overall range to over 1,600km with a consumption of 6.4L/100km.
– The electric motor also generates a maximum of 210 kW (282 hp) by working together with an extremely efficient 1.5-liter turbo engine supplying 110 kW that gives it a smooth ride and strong acceleration.
– Fast charging allows to add 313km of distance within 10 minutes and charge in 10%-80 percent within under 12 minutes.
– The car has a large 7-seat interior that is also equipped with high-level driver assistance with 3 Turing AI chips that provide 2,250 TOPS of autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit features.
Market Position and Impact
– X9 EREV The outstanding range and performance is aimed at consumers in the markets where charging infrastructure is still developing, striking a balance between electric mobility and range assurance.
– It will outperform the traditional pure electric vehicles (EVs) by providing consumers with more options, as it is the first EREV model of its kind with 7-seats and high luxury/technology content.
– Its introduction marks the start of a new EREV super cycle with long-range solutions taking off during the global electric mobility changes.
Design and Safety
– X9 is made of ultra-high-strength steel, with front and rear die-casting to make the car as rigid as possible, with torsional rigidity of 46,000 N m/deg, with 9 airbags.
– Exterior design will incorporate aerodynamic efficiency and sleek styling to meet the premium MPV customers who desire the elements of functionality and performance.
Charging and Connectivity
– Fast charging support with state-of-the-art coupled with V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2L (vehicle-to-load) provides external power delivery at 6 kW, which is more useful in off-grids and emergency power supply.
– Premium connectivity platform featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, which support high-speed connectivity, infotainment and cloud-based intelligent services.
