XPeng G9L Launches: Full Pricing, Specs and the Distilled VLA Debut

XPeng put the G9L on sale on 17 September — six variants, two powertrain families, and a starting price that lands lower than the pre-launch chatter suggested. The price list circulated by 识物客 is below, followed by the specifications XPeng has published for the car.

Pricing

Ranges in the model names are CLTC figures.

Battery electric

Variant	Price (¥)
G9L 702 RWD Max	231,800
G9L 660 AWD Ultra SE	249,800
G9L 660 AWD Ultra	279,800
G9L 755 AWD Ultra	309,800

Super range-extender (REEV)

Variant	Price (¥)
G9L 1602 AWD Ultra SE	249,800
G9L 1602 AWD Ultra	299,800

One important footnote: those are the limited-time launch prices. Launch coverage puts the regular range at ¥241,800 to ¥319,800, with the limited-time range running ¥231,800 to ¥309,800 — so the starting figure is a promotional window rather than the list price.

Powertrains, range and charging

• 800V ultra-fast charging is standard across the whole line-up — XPeng quotes 450 km of range added in nine minutes from the 5C system we covered on video.
• BEV variants carry stated CLTC ranges of 660 km, 702 km or 755 km — LFP in the three lower variants, and a 110 kWh ternary pack in the 755 Ultra only (see the variant table below). Two-wheel drive uses a 270 kW motor; the four-wheel-drive version makes a combined 430 kW.
• REEV variants pair a 110 kW 1.5-litre turbocharged range extender with either a 210 kW motor (two-wheel drive) or a 370 kW dual-motor system (four-wheel drive). The four-wheel-drive version quotes 0–100 km/h in 4.95 seconds.
• The range-extender car carries a 63.3 kWh battery and a 60-litre fuel tank, for 435 km of electric-only CLTC range and a 1,602 km combined figure.

Size, chassis and steering

Length	5,120 mm
Width	1,999 mm
Height	1,782 mm
Wheelbase	3,100 mm
Wheels	20-, 21- or 22-inch (22-inch staggered available)
Suspension	Front double wishbone, rear multi-link, adaptive dampers, dual-chamber air suspension
Rear steering	Steer-by-wire, up to 15° in either direction

The rear-wheel steering is the number that matters most in practice: a 5.1 m car with a steering angle at the rear is how XPeng gets the tight turning behaviour we saw in the earlier right-hand-drive test footage.

Inside

• Space: 5.1 m² of usable cabin area, 1,152 litres of luggage space plus 230 litres of underfloor storage.
• Screens: floating central display, integrated instrument panel, an 88-inch augmented-reality head-up display, and a 9-inch digital rear-view mirror.
• Rear cabin: individual zero-gravity seats with a one-touch conversion into a bed space, a 21.4-inch entertainment screen adjustable through 75°, and a voice-operated centre console containing a wireless charging pad, control screen, a folding table that rotates 360° and extends in two stages, and a 12.5-litre refrigerator rated from −6 °C to 50 °C.
• Audio: 33 speakers including eight in the headrests, with 7.1.6.8-channel surround.
• Comfort: powered sunshades over the panoramic roof and side windows; front seats with pressure sensors and adjustable air bladders; four interior colour schemes (Sahara Orange, Bordeaux Red, Dawn White, Meteorite Black).
• Doors and exterior: powered opening, closing and soft-close on all four doors; exterior voice commands for the doors, hood and tailgate, as well as directing parking manoeuvres from outside and controlling exterior music playback.

Assisted driving

The G9L introduces the updated second-generation VLA system, and the Max variant debuts the distilled version — the same distillation path we covered on a first drive. Depending on configuration it uses up to three Turing AI chips with 2,250 TOPS of stated effective compute, and a new nose-in parking function is included.

What actually differs between the six variants

The G9L shares far more than it splits. Every variant gets the SEPA 3.0 platform (shared with the flagship GX), the 800V/5C charging system, steer-by-wire rear-wheel steering with a 5.4 m turning radius, dual-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers, the X-VMC chassis controller, the 88-inch AR HUD, the 17.3-inch centre screen and the 21.4-inch rear entertainment screen. The differences are concentrated in four places: battery, drive, compute, and the comfort/presence features.

The two range-extender variants

Both use the same drivetrain: a 1.5-litre turbo range extender with a 63.3 kWh battery and a 60-litre tank, 370 kW system power, 0–100 km/h in 4.95 s, 435 km of CLTC electric range and 1,602 km combined. What separates them is trim and compute.

	1602 AWD Ultra SE	1602 AWD Ultra
China price	¥249,800	¥299,800
Turing AI chips	2 (1,500 TOPS)	3 (2,250 TOPS)
Upholstery	Advanced leather	Nappa leather
AI projection headlights	—	Yes
Four-door smart electric doors	—	Yes

The ladder, in plain terms

• 702 RWD Max — the value pick. Rear-wheel drive only, but it carries the longest LFP range (702 km), the lowest consumption on paper (14.9 kWh/100 km) and the same chassis hardware. The trade is compute: one Turing chip and the VLA 2.0 Lite model, 6.8 s to 100 km/h, and no projection headlights, electric doors or 33-speaker audio.
• 660 AWD Ultra SE (+¥18,000 over the Max) — the AWD step. Adds the front motor, drops to 4.6 s, and brings rear quasi-zero-gravity seats and the refrigerated console — the comfort items families notice. Two chips, so full VLA 2.0 rather than Lite.
• 660 AWD Ultra (+¥30,000 over the SE) — the compute step. The third Turing chip takes it to 2,250 TOPS, which is what unlocks the Turing VLM-based Xiao P butler, voice vehicle control (pull over, park in nearby) and the 33-speaker, 7.1.6.8-channel system with independent front/rear audio zones. Same battery and range as the SE.
• 755 AWD Ultra (+¥30,000 over the 660 Ultra) — the long-range step. The only variant with the 110 kWh ternary pack, giving 755 km, the quickest acceleration (4.45 s) — and it adds four-door soft-close electric doors and the AI projection headlights. Note the charge-time penalty: 11.7 min rather than 10.7 min for 10–80%.
• REEV Ultra SE → REEV Ultra (+¥50,000). Identical powertrain and range; the money buys the third chip plus Nappa leather, projection headlights and electric doors.

Options and colour pricing

The headline option is the front AI seat package (¥20,000), which bundles Nappa upholstery, cushion firmness and side-bolster adjustment, 16-point massage, the adaptive AI seat functions and the front passenger's zero-gravity seat. Wheels step up in two stages — 21-inch (¥10,000) and 22-inch (¥12,000) — and there is a rear executive centre console (¥6,000), electric welcome steps (¥6,000), and a Black Gold appearance package (¥15,000). Several of these are listed as limited-time gifts or discounts rather than standard equipment, including the 21.4-inch rear screen, which is currently given away on all variants.

Colours: Polar Night Black, Everest White and Fjord Grey are free; Tuscany Green and Provence Purple are ¥6,000 (currently ¥3,600). Interiors: Meteorite Black and Dawn White are free, Sahara Orange and Bordeaux Red are ¥3,000.

Timing note

The limited-time pricing runs for orders placed before 15 November 2026 — after that the list prices of ¥241,800–319,800 apply. Option packages are Chinese-market pricing and specification, and Australian equipment will be confirmed locally.

Noise

XPeng specifies acoustic material in 122 locations, 11 pieces of double-layer laminated glass, Michelin low-noise tyres, and both ENC and RNC active noise reduction.

What happens next

XPeng has scheduled the G9L's Paris Motor Show launch for 12 October, and says it will build the car in both Guangzhou, China and Graz, Austria — the Austrian plant being the part that matters for European supply.

Estimated Australian pricing

XPeng already sells two models in Australia, and comparing their Chinese guide prices with their Australian list prices gives a usable multiplier for what the G9L might cost here. (Australian figures are list price excluding on-road costs; Chinese figures are official guide prices.)

Model	China guide price	Australia list price	Multiplier
G6 RWD Standard Range	¥176,800	$51,800	0.293
X9 FWD Standard Range	¥309,800	$89,900	0.290
X9 AWD Performance	¥369,800	$109,900	0.297

Two different models, one consistent answer: Australian pricing lands at roughly 0.29–0.30 × the Chinese price. Applying that band to the G9L — using both the limited-time launch prices and the regular prices — gives:

G9L variant	China price	Estimated Australia (excl. on-road)
702 RWD Max	¥231,800 (promo) / ¥241,800 (list)	≈ $67,000 – $73,000
660 AWD Ultra SE	¥249,800	≈ $72,000 – $75,000
660 AWD Ultra	¥279,800	≈ $81,000 – $84,000
755 AWD Ultra	¥309,800 (promo) / ¥319,800 (list)	≈ $90,000 – $96,000
1602 REEV AWD Ultra SE	¥249,800	≈ $72,000 – $75,000
1602 REEV AWD Ultra	¥299,800	≈ $87,000 – $90,000

Read as a range rather than a quote, that points to an entry price around $68,000–72,000 plus on-road costs and a flagship around $90,000–96,000 plus on-road costs, with drive-away adding roughly $5,000–8,000 depending on state and registration type.

One number worth watching: the luxury car tax. The 2026–27 LCT thresholds are $91,661 for fuel-efficient vehicles and $80,809 for other vehicles. The flagship estimate lands right at the fuel-efficient threshold — so if the G9L arrives near the top of this range, tax treatment becomes part of the pricing conversation, and it matters whether the range-extender variants qualify as fuel-efficient under the current definition.

What could move this estimate

• Right-hand-drive engineering and ADR compliance — the RHD build only began rolling off the Guangzhou line in September, and local compliance work is a cost the Chinese price does not carry.
• Trim selection. China gets six G9L variants; Australia has historically taken a narrower line-up from XPeng, which changes both the entry point and the spread.
• Assisted-driving specification. Australia is on its own VLA rollout timeline rather than following the Chinese push, so the local hardware and software mix may not map one-to-one onto the Max/Ultra ladder.
• Distributor and FX margin. TrueEV is the local distributor, and the multiplier above already bakes in its margin and the current exchange rate — a materially different rate at launch would shift the arithmetic.
• It is proportional reasoning, not a leak. Nothing here comes from XPeng Australia or TrueEV; it is an estimate derived from two comparable models.

Local timing

TrueEV's December 2025 roadmap had the G9L revealed around Q3 2026 with local deliveries in Q4, and the RHD line-off in Guangzhou in September is consistent with that. Australian specifications and pricing are still to be announced, so treat everything above as an estimate until XPeng ANZ confirms it.
