Xpeng has revealed what it calls its new “next-gen AI flagship SUV” at the Paris motor show, the G9L. 

The luxurious range-topping model comes with six or seven seats and is stuffed with kit and a 110kWh battery that charges using 800V tech. 

The 5.1-metre car has a 367-mile WLTP range and if you can charge it somewhere that will exploit its 540kW peak rate Xpeng says it’ll get from 10–80% in less than 12 minutes. 

Orders for the G9L have already opened in select European markets – the car costs from €74,600 (£63,000) in Germany, for instance. 

There’s no official word on when the G9L will make it to the UK. The car is described as coming soon on the Chinese carmaker’s website, and is believed to be planning to launch British sales of the SUV in early 2027. 

The G9L is absolutely festooned with fancy tech – it has rear-wheel steering, adjustable air suspension and dual-motor all-wheel drive for off-roading, an electric retracting tow hitch that’ll pull up to two tonnes and 6kW V2L as standard. 

Inside, you’ve got a 17.3in central touchscreen infotainment setup, 8.8in digital dashboard and an augmented reality head-up display for the driver and a voice assistant that’ll recognise commands from six different zones within the car. 

Seats in the front two rows are heated and cooled massaging numbers with electric footrests, and they apparently use AI help to adjust themselves to whoever is sitting in them. There’s a 12.5-litre fridge in the cabin, plus a 21.4in rear entertainment display. 

A full suite of sunshades, noise cancellation tech and sound deadening make the cabin feel as quiet as possible.

Xpeng even says it has designed part of the rear cabin as a sort of ‘kid zone’, which uses materials with younger passengers in mind. 

Practically speaking, even with six seats deployed in the car you’ve got 367 litres of boot space plus a 65-litre frunk.

So where does AI come into it? Xpeng says it plans to launch a new AI-powered driver assistance package in 2027 that will enable the G9L to drive more effectively by itself, especially designed to work on narrow complicated European streets. 

Xpeng says that the system will be rolled out in different markets depending on legislation and regulatory approval. 

The G9L is being built in Austria by engineering firm Magna Steyr, the fourth Xpeng model to be built in the region.
