Driving experience:
Some colleagues have tested the driving performance of the G9 before. In daily driving, the power response speed of the G9 will change to a certain extent in different driving modes. Even in the energy-saving mode and at high speed, the power for overtaking in the middle and rear sections is sufficient. , In addition, the adjustment style of the accelerator pedal is relatively close to that of a fuel vehicle. The change from oil to electricity does not require much adaptation, and the kinetic energy recovery is not too obvious, making it easy to accept.
The combination of the front double wishbone + rear multi-link in the chassis part, coupled with the dual-chamber air spring, can effectively filter speed bumps and road bumps. The air spring can also be adjusted adaptively according to road conditions. Not only the height, but also the softness and hardness can be adjusted in time.
In the high-speed battery life test, the Bitauto team set off from Beijing World Park with full power, passed through the South Fifth Ring Road, and walkedDaxing Airport Expressway, Daxing Airport North Line Expressway, Beijing-Kaifeng Expressway, and the Sixth Ring Road circle, the speed limit is 100-120 km/h, the actual power consumption is 23.9kWh/100km, taking into account the 98kWh battery capacity, in actual use There is no problem with a range of 400 kilometers at medium and high speeds.
Competitive product analysis:
High-end models compete with Weilai ES7
Belonging to the first-tier "Wei Xiaoli" 2022 new car, both medium and large SUVs, and both "large five-seater", the Xpeng G9 will undoubtedly mainly face competition from the Weilai ES7.
Battery life is Xpeng’s strength. CLTC’s maximum battery life of 702 kilometers has advantages over the 100kWh ES7, and 800V high-voltage supercharging provides more bonuses in terms of charging speed and convenience, but NIO provides fast " "Battery replacement" service can be said to have its own advantages in energy replenishment.
In terms of intelligence, both G9 and ES7 represent the "highest level" of their respective brands. Whether it is intelligent interaction or autonomous driving assistance software and hardware, it can be said that "there is no real winner", especially since the two are redundant. The computing power brings a lot of feasibility for future upgrades.
However, the NIO ES7 has a higher starting point. It comes standard with lidar, dual-motor four-wheel drive + air springs, and has a full range of configurations. The starting price of the two models is not at the same level of competition. The main purchase is the Xpeng G9 Consumers of dual-motor high-end models should consider the ES7, after all, the prices are very close.
Single motor model competes with Lantu FREE pure electric version
The Lantu FREE pure electric version is also positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, and its price and configuration levels will mainly pose a threat to the single-motor series of Xpeng G9 models.
The G9 has certain advantages in terms of wheelbase, and the G9 with the longest battery life of 702 kilometers also has an advantage. However, if you are a price-sensitive user, you may make a detailed comparison in terms of functional configuration and other aspects. Of course, it is suitable for you. is the best.
According to the "Hot List" data of Bitauto App, Xpeng G9 ranks 18th among pure electric models. If you need more data, please check it out on Bitauto App.
