Xpeng G9 electric SUV makes debut in the UAE

ABU DHABI: Xpeng Motors, a Chinese EV manufacturer, in partnership with Gulf Star Motors, has introduced its highly anticipated electric SUVs—the G9, G6, and the "Land Aircraft Carrier" flying concept in the UAE. This event also marked Xpeng's official entry into the country.

While we have already discussed the Xpeng G6, today we will check out the Xpeng G9 in detail.

The G9, Xpeng's flagship luxury SUV, offers a premium electric experience. Claimed to be the fastest-charging mass-production SUV in the world, its 800V platform enables charging from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes. 

Designed for sharp handling and enhanced comfort, it features dual-chamber air suspension, while its Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) provides added convenience and safety.

The G9 is available in two variants: the RWD Long Range with 286 hp and 440 Nm of torque, and the AWD Performance that delivers 476 hp and 660 Nm in under four seconds for a 0-100 kmph sprint.

The EV comes with the "Hey XPENG" voice command system, which works seamlessly without a network connection and from any seating position recognizes complex instructions. It also comes with the X-OPERA 5D sound system and external speakers for outdoor music enjoyment.

The entry of Xpeng into the UAE supports the ambitious goal of the country of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. As part of its expansion strategy, Xpeng will come up with the new X9 model, elevating its electric vehicle offerings. 

Additionally, the company will establish a dedicated showroom network across the UAE, giving customers access to its innovative electric vehicles and a complete brand experience.
