The Chinese company XPeng Motors began producing electric cars in 2017, but rapid growth has only recently begun. While only 27,000 cars were sold in 2020, 98,000 were sold in 2021, and the result of the first half of this year is 69,000 electric cars of three models. It took nine months to prepare the production version, and from the outside it almost does not differ from last year’s exhibition model. But now the interior and characteristics of the car have been declassified. In size and format, the XPeng G9 falls in the same class as the Lexus RX or Mercedes-Benz GLE crossovers.
The Chinese parkett has «expensive» proportions with a sliding back cab, frameless windows, and retractable door handles. The aerodynamic drag coefficient Cd is 0.272. For example, the same Mercedes GLE has this coefficient equal to 0,29. Rear-wheel drive base model XPeng G9 has one electric motor with an output of 313 hp and 430 Nm. The all-wheel drive version has a front electric motor with 238 hp, and the peak output of the system reaches 551 hp and 717 Nm. Both versions are equipped with a 98 kW∙h traction battery, but in the first case the range is 702 km (on the CLTC cycle), and in the second – 650 km.
