XPENG has sustained strong growth momentum since the beginning of 2025. Official delivery data show full-year deliveries for 2025 reached 429,445 units — a 126% year-on-year gain. Overseas deliveries hit 45,008, up 96%, with Europe and Southeast Asia driving most of the growth as globalization advances steadily. On November 20, the XPENG X9 Super Extended-Range version debuted; within an hour it set a single-day record for the series. Orders from northern regions topped 50% for the first time, while the 1602 Ultra high-spec trim priced at CNY 329,800 accounted for 79% of bookings.

The CNY 300,000–400,000 luxury new-energy MPV segment targeted by the XPENG X9 extended-range has emerged as a fast-growing blue-ocean market. The market size is nearing 200,000 units in 2025 and is expected to surpass 300,000 in 2026. Longer term, as family structures upgrade and electrification accelerates, the addressable market should keep expanding. The core user base is pragmatic, high-net-worth professionals aged 35–45 in new first-tier and second-tier cities, who value intelligent features, comfort and family-oriented versatility. Based on market size, product differentiation and post-launch momentum, Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute forecasts XPENG X9 extended-range sales could reach 30,000 units in 2026, placing it among the top three extended-range MPVs; if an entry variant lowers the price point, volumes could rise further.

Inside the cabin, the XPENG X9 extended-range runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon SA8295P flagship chip, paired with a 17.3-inch floating touch center screen and a 10.25-inch full digital instrument cluster. With the Tianji intelligent connectivity system working alongside the Turing supercomputing platform, the setup elevates human–machine interaction. Adient's zero‑gravity seats reduce lumbar load by about 60% in zero‑gravity mode and can recline flat at the touch of a button; a first-of-its-kind one‑touch power stow for the third row expands cargo capacity to as much as 2,554 liters, suiting family travel and outdoor camping alike.
On assisted driving, the hardware is stacked. The Max trim carries one Turing chip delivering 750 TOPS; the Ultra trim packs three for 2,250 TOPS. With a comprehensively upgraded vision system, perception range improves 125% and recognition speed 40%. NGP software covers "parking spot to parking spot" scenarios, making big‑vehicle parking straightforward.

For power, the model uses an 800V high‑voltage silicon‑carbide (SiC) platform and integrates Huawei's DriveONE full‑stack, highly integrated high‑voltage oil‑cooled generator with Dongan Power's next‑gen 1.5T range extender, forming its electric drive plus range‑extender system. CLTC all‑electric range reaches 452 km, while combined range extends to 1,602 km. The vehicle supports 5C ultra‑fast charging, adding 313 km of range in 10 minutes — cutting wait times.
Under the chassis, it adopts a front double‑wishbone and rear H‑arm multi‑link all‑aluminum structure, with Baolong Technology's dual‑chamber air springs and ZF rear‑wheel steering as standard, plus Nexteer electric power steering — yielding a minimum turning radius of just 5.4 meters. A 6D comfort anti‑motion‑sickness algorithm and AI road preview scan ahead and adjust suspension damping in real time for a smoother, more composed ride.
