what do you think about the driving comfort? I test drove a Smart #1 Brabus and felt a bit car sick even after turning down all the regen. Maybe it’s the difference in being used to a Renault Zoe which doesn’t have as strong regen?

Don't apologise for how you review cars, you do an excellent job. People who don't like it because it doesn't suit the narrative they want can watch a different channel. Xpeng are making great vehicles and people need to face facts that Chinese EVs are going to become increasingly popular and for good reason. They're ahead of legacy auto in EV's.

cheers m8 !

[@hermesliteratus882]

BTW, the political correctness BS of the Neocons does get to some car review channels these days, including some of the big names out there, such as CarWow, Fully Charged Show, etc.

[@zebraimage]

⁠@@hermesliteratus882 Political correctness of the Neocons?? What are you talking about? Neocons means new conservative and political correctness is a progressive ideology. They're the opposite.

[@ragabara1031]

​@zebraimage When talking about the impact of political decisions it makes no sense to constrain and frame by ideology. Practically the tech reviewers today are very obvious in their political slants and bias. Whether this originates from conservative or progressive schools of thought hardly matters to the layperson, who can only recognize labels and stereotypes outside their specialties and fields of expertise. After all it's when generalizations and simplifications are made that the layperson can be introduced to a new topic.

[@xiaoyangdadi]

​@@zebraimagewhat do they have in common? they are both China haters!

[@dwchen1]

Some says VW make a mistake by invested over $700 million in XPeng, they said it will be like VW handed over their technology to XPeng or XPeng gonna steal their technology simply because they are Chinese. Sounds as ridiculous as they are while in fact as we all knew that VW EV tech is sucks and that's why VW is looking around for a short cut(not wasting their time for time consuming R&D because they are already left behind in EV race) and found XPeng tech, design structure, and uniqueness is interesting and VW want some of XPeng tech to be transferred to VW in the long term by investing in this company and hoping to stop the downtrend of current VW sales in China and reverse it with fresh EV models. So VW think by investing in XPeng is a good move. By the way keep the good work Autogefuhl.

[@ldsman1global587]

Yes, thinks has turned 180 degrees... nowadays the VW steels from China... :(

[@yohannessulistyo4025]

Another point is simply because Xpeng is non State-owned business, much like most successful Chinese EV makers, BYD, HiPhi, Zeekr (from Geely). Among all with some acceptance in the west, I think only Nio that has some ties with the government, because of its manufacturing dependence on JAC - any otherwise NIO is public / private business. The problem with PRC SOE car maker is as everyone already know, is their notorious "copycat" Shanzai disease that refuse to go away even past 2020. Today, Chery is already an established car brand that is able to come up with good original design, like their Omoda lineups. Yet, even in 2023, they still find it necessary to steal Lexus design (Arrizo 5 GT).

[@lupsastta90]

Also since xpeng is going bankrupt, VW probably cut themselves a pretty good deal

[@Insaight87]

Double click the button with the charge insignia to open the charge port. Double click to close it. The dot on the rim represents the lightest part of the metal rim while the dot on the tire heaviest part of the tire. This serves to present as close balance as possible to the complete wheel.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! I ll retry that with the key next time. I tried different pressing methods but none seemed to work properly. About the wheels, why would you build a wheel that is imbalanced?

[@abraxastulammo9940]

​@@autogefuehlAll parts have tolerances

[@peanutbutterjellyjam2179]

​@@autogefuehl Wheels and rims are not intentionally made to be imbalanced, however, quoting @abraxastulammo9940 "All parts have tolerances." Forging, casting, molding, forming etc., naturally come out with imperfections. Hence, wheels need balancing, even from the factory.

[@cheungchingtong]

SUVs are hotshots in China, no way any automaker would give up that part.

[@cheungchingtong]

I own two Nios, personally like Nio and BYD more than XPeng, but G9 is quite a nice EV. And the title makes me wonder, western companies like VW and Audi choose to invest and cooperate with Chinese EV brands because they know those Chinese techs on EV is too late for them to invest and develop internally by themselves, whether it is the design or function concept, both on interior and exterior, after they visited the Shanghai Auto Show and got shocked at, WHILE some people outside of China, still like to judge and consistently believe that products made in China present low-end quality and design, despite they may not know most of the things they are using daily are made in China, some of them are totally designed by Chinese companies and just relabeled by brands they are familiar with. I can't really see that if it is a loss for Chinese brands, or the market of consumers who keep thinking that way. I have been witnessing a huge transition in China's auto market in the recent 4 or 5 years, EV are getting cheaper and more reliable, along with the upgrading HMI system and battery parts, thanks to huge amounts of charging stations being built countrywide and some other technologies advancement. BUT EV OR NOT, things are being more and more intelligent in China for daily uses, people can leave their houses with only a smartphone few years before the pandemic, pay for literally everything, and now everything are being connected more and more under the 5G+AI network being built and already waiting for the 6G to come. So is it really worthy to carry ideologies and bias on the back, denying progress from the other side of the world, and isolate selves living in "old ages".

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Regarding doing "everything" with your phone; I quite like that I can still pay with cash at most places and that the government doesn't have total access to my social life through access to phone apps. That's a big difference.

[@cheungchingtong]

@@Jajalaatmaar It's 2023 now, you government can accesses to get to know all your social life and transfers by all means, the only question is are you worthy for them to do so.

[@Jajalaatmaar]

​@@cheungchingtong I understand that that is the Chinese cope and you can't really do anything about it, but it's not true in my country (source: I work for the government where a recurring issue is a lack of data and how to use available data without violating privacy laws).

[@cheungchingtong]

@@Jajalaatmaar Lol, you just misunderstood what I just said, totally. dear. Personal data leak mostly happen in banks and internet companies, not the government, you know your information are leaked when you get one of those fraud calls. But I have something to share due to your comment, in mainland China here, the government also need to apply under the privacy regulation, or restriction, on personal information. Take this as example, in Mainland, buying a mobile SIM card, you need to provide your ID and bind it to your card, most of time if you register an internet account, for most of apps or websites, you do it with your phone number, that means if the government wants to track your internet footprints, they can. BUT, tens of thousands of Chinese criticize or even some spread rumors and hatred publicly, on Douyin, Weibo and Bilibili(Just like keyboard warriors and haters on Tiktok, Twitter and KZbin), no one get warned or arrested if what he/she says does not do harms to others, national security or normal citizens. So my point is, average normal citizens are totally fine with what we are dealing with here, it is a country with 1.4 billion, you don't expect a government being so bored to go check everyone, unless you are actually committing crimes financially or criminally. Everything should be done under the law, and it's funny sometimes some of those laws are too strict and, stubborn I would say, people urge the CCP to improve, just like what I mention above, we usually see haters spreading rumors online, and most of times the government is too late to handle them, it is us, we need to report those kinds of garbage to the officials, urge them to delete those rumors and hold ones responsible. And THIS is what I mean by are you worthy. And please, it is not a Chinese cope and something we can't really do anything about, so no offence, but please do not comment things the way you get to know from some others' opinions(let's say mainstream medias?), before you really get to know them, love.

Your review provides analytical insights with indicators for self assessment, which is what an independent review is required. Therefore as mentioned previously rema8the way you are. On this car, well, I am speechless. Absolutely incredible to see so much premium details and almost luxurious environment at a (high) reasonable price.

We are actually using so called L2.99999 autonomous driving system (or more precisely driving assistant system) in China. The EVs with this ability are able to self-driving in some cities e.g. Shanghai and Beijing. However, drivers are still responsible for the driving action, which means if there is an accident, the driver should afford the consequence.

Bad reviewers are always "grateful" when reviewing a new car & will bestow gushy lavish praise & admiration in order not to offend the car execs.

Wow…absolutely love the interior of this car

Pretty big update coming this month (March 2023). The beta for it just released. It will seems to solve pretty much all the software complaints in on go. Now to see if they can deliver. It features: - Bluetooth sound quality improved. - Battery capacity can now also be displayed in percentage. - Charging stations in navigation can now be filtered by charging capacity. - German language setting is now possible. - Fewer disclaimers for apps. - Improving the translation of functions in Dutch and other languages. - DSM (driver monitoring system) can now have 3 different sensitivities: low/normal/high. High is what the standard was before the update. - LSS (Lane support system): number of warnings significantly reduced to the most necessary and legally necessary. Less vibrations on the handlebars. - IHB (intelligent high beam): Should be more precise, turn off the lights earlier to avoid annoying oncoming traffic. Should be better on highways too. - X-Pilot ACC (adaptive cruise control): should work more "smoothly", less braking by parked cars at the edge of the street. Also improved logic in processing speed limit changes. Now automatically maintains speed when switching from LCC to ACC by steering movement. - X-Pilot LCC (Lane Centering Control): Traffic light detection has now been added and appears at the top of the driver's dashboard. Optimization of acceleration and braking, so less slow acceleration and less sudden braking, even when drivers merge in front of you into your lane. Also less delay in corners and less chance of the system switching itself off. - ALC (automatic lane shift assistant): Feedback has been improved and timing of acceleration after the lane change has taken place has been improved. ALC should be able to be the primary means of lane changing on the highway. - APA (intelligent park assist): Has become better at parking in spaces. Better comfort due to fewer sudden movements during parking. Better at parallel parking on roads and also in narrow streets. Less time switching between forward and reverse during parking movement. - 360 degree camera: tires are now visible under the chassis. Transparent chassis has been improved. Steering direction and tire position can now be seen in real time. Optimization of the driving direction in 360-degree view to prevent parking damage. - Beeps: fewer beeps and visual notifications during X-Pilot with ACC, X-Pilot with LCC and ALC while driving. A more peaceful and user-friendly driving experience should be the result. - Air conditioning: anti-dust function starts earlier, reducing the risk of air conditioning and window damage.

Didn't take long for the student to master the art of car making to such an extent that the former master is now the pupil. The progress of Chinese car brands is impressive.

[@tren133]

Apparently the 700 million investment only give VW access to the G9 platform. The new and more advanced G6 platform that is more efficient and includes features like megacasting and cell to body construction is still off limits to VW.

[@loyallion6477]

4:25 they do it because they want to see if the tire and wheel flexes during acceleration or not, they also have a little dot on the tire which you can see very lightlly, they are placed on the same level when you have brand new tires and wheels put on.

[@elevul]

Ok, the lockscreen images are cute!

[@qasimchohan5776]

Very nice interior good review we need g9 worldwide

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Super cool that you reviewed this one. It just seems like the value king in this luxury segment atm. Nice attention to the details, like that air conditioning control and the cooling in the storage compartment. Does it beat an Mercedes EQE SUV in value to you, you think? Even with software being as it is right now. I mean, this thing is €77K with the interior package in the Netherlands. The first EQE SUV with hyperscreen (I think that's a fair comparison right?) is around €120K. And then you still charge half as fast and reach 100 km/h half as fast. Oh and this thing has 7 years warranty right now. Mercedes has 2 years... I want to see an Xpeng G9, BMW IX, Mercedes EQE SUV and Audi Q8 E-Tron comparison.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! For me, they need to upgrade the software (seems very doable with some bugfixes imho), then it would easily beat the EQE SUV. Software being right now would be a little to annoying to me, but I guess you can also get the software upgrades over the air later

[@siddharthgoyal4008]

Haven't driven EQE much but imho, forget software it's somehow much more "smooth" than EQE.

[@Qqqqqqqqqaaaaaaa]

@@autogefuehl You have to explain how it would easily beat the eqe?

[@autogefuehl]

same or better range, better fast charging, better build quality, way less expensive. Just software wise as I said at this moment too annoying

[@Qqqqqqqqqaaaaaaa]

@@autogefuehl same range, Mercedes much better design exterior and interior, Mercedes better build quality, bettet handling.

[@FranCarreira]

On one side, WV ID series is way under their expected quality, finishes and trims, that are more suitable for the cheaper brand of the group, but, surprisingly, on that side, Cupra and Škoda offer better quality for less price. This XPENG looks as premium as an Audi (at least from the screen) for the price of a WV. I thing this joint could serve well to WV if they don’t ruin it.

[@jws5871]

Absolutely, don't make too many weird VW changes. Let the XPeng do what they do!

[@birdyashiro1226]

ID3 ugly ass...

[@user-nw3bj4yh5u]

The inside of the Tesla looks like a rental house. The inside of the XPeng looks like a mansion

[@mangcike]

nice job

[@bobby4500]

this is a great looking car

[@whollyshoots3587]

U need to double click the key to open the charging cover, that’s why u r seeing the cover is not opening when u only click it one time

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏 we did try but i ll retry more defo next time

[@Cloxxki]

Year ago, their self steer was already head and shoulders above anything from Europe and the US. Their smaller cars have been a bit meh based on reviewers I trust, but this one looks promising. EQE SUV alternative more so than a Model Y alternative? Comparing to Tesla easily exposes less than amazing aero and drivetrain efficiency. You end up needing the large battery to match a Model Y, I guess, before seeing the range claims and findings.

[@networm78]

The G9 is not meant to compete against the Model Y. That would be the G6, which has the same dimensions as the Y with considerably better fuel efficiency.

[@Cloxxki]

@@networm78 Turns out the have insufferable driving aids in this car. Total deal breaker.

[@stennordenmalm1735]

As always Thomas, a really nice reviuw. (But I would say that the driver position/interiour is NOT influenced by T***a, rather from Genesis sort of) XPeng + VW looks very interesting, plz VW copy this interiour to your EVs asap...

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@asuranchan]

When come to UK?

[@SpaceBound-1]

The interior looks really good.

[@daggysbg]

Habe einen Händler von Xpeng in China gefragt, dass das Pano Dach optional mit Verstellung von Lichtdurchlässigkeit bestellt werden kann.

[@1177Benni]

Lieber Thomas, danke für die Review. Ich schaue mir das Auto jetzt schon wochenlang an und bin einfach nur begeistert davon. Hast du zufällig eine Info, wann Xpeng in Deutschland zu haben ist bzw denkst du man könnte das Fahrzeug auch in den Niederlanden kaufen? Betriebssystem scheint ja auf englisch zu gehen. Klar, der Service wäre ein Thema ohne Händler in Germany.... aber eventuell hast du ja mehr Infos? Danke für das Feedback.

[@xiaoyanggao2899]

Latest news from Munich IAA auto show is that Xpeng will enter Germany, France and UK in 2024 by bringing P7 and G9 at first and followed by G6

[@1177Benni]

Very interesting, do you know has this car Vehicle to Grid or Vehice to X option (to store the energy from Solar panels during daylight, and use the energy at night at home)?

[@autogefuehl]

not sure

[@emilun77]

I believe it supports V2L.

[@trondaasen6465]

V2L so you can connect up to 3,3kW. Not V2G.

[@VX2hugo]

14:00 Okay we need more Lea in the future. In fact Thomas you could just provide voice over, and let Lea do all the actions. XD

[@autogefuehl]

😁

[@gulfconsulting7257]

Great review again. And I love it that you keep pushing for faux animal solutions. There is no need for leather and even for seat ventilation this is no longer an excuse

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for the support !!

[@novon04]

Is this a pre-production car or the finalized version that will be delivered to customers?

[@autogefuehl]

well the hardware is all proven ofc but the software they are still developing

[@thomaseriksson3182]

Thanks for this!👍 can you please do the same with the rwd model with standard suspension and 19 inch wheels?🙏

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! Please recommend our channel :)

[@autogefuehl]

not sure at which point they will be available for testing but we ll keep digging

Impressive and cause for concern for Western automakers.

[@Flimzes]

What did you think of the dynaudio system?

sounded nice!

[@christiansteffens1427]

Hej, das Fahrzeug wurde auf der A52 getestet, Kreuz Breitscheid.... Steht das Fahrzeug in der Nähe zur Ansicht ?

Ne es gibt bisher kaum Fahrzeuge in Europa

[@Muzammil8558]

This reminds me of a practical VW car.

[@timogronroos4642]

Is there also "Set to Making out" position function?

[@autogefuehl]

hehe

[@dxelson]

20:15 so it has adaptive suspension according to the settings? they are not fixed?

[@RSCB]

yeah

[@pumpuppthevolume]

xD lol the wallpapers of the phones

[@OSQQ123]

This is indeed a very interesting car. The only thing that worries me is the financial situation of XPeng. If they reach the bankrupt, we will not find spare parts anymore. That is the only reason why I am hesitating to order one. A part from that, software issues can always be fixed. It is just a matter of time

[@kangli2321]

That's the big concern. Although the product is good, but on the verge of collapse, there is no big back support, and there are few models. Every step is a test of life and death. Cars that are hot in Europe sell only moderately well in China. Few of the cars that sell well in China have the capacity to go to Europe.

[@Harrythehun]

Leasing the car may be the best solution for eager customers. If something happens, the bank takes the hit.

[@zebraimage]

Judging from their recent sale numbers, it seems that they're on the rising curve now. I'm also thinking should I get one.

[@OSQQ123]

@@zebraimage they might be rising their sales but not in China which is their biggest market. It is a risk to buy this car but it is really amazing for the price you pay it

[@zebraimage]

@@OSQQ123 I'm talking about the total numbers including China. It has been increasing the last 6 months in a row, which seams to be a positive sign, plus the VW investment. I hope they have hit the bottom.
