The global electric vehicle scene welcomed the official debut of the 2025 XPeng X9, following a pre sale period that began on April 8. This model introduces a wide array of upgrades focused on cabin comfort, intelligent driving systems, and a complete family oriented user experience, reflecting the brand’s ambition to strengthen its position in the premium electric MPV segment.
A world of comfort and luxury inside the X9
The XPeng X9 2025 has been designed to embody the essence of family luxury. Soft touch materials now cover 26.6 square meters of the cabin, complemented by refined finishes and PVD vacuum coated trim for an upscale interior ambiance. The standout feature is the NASA inspired Zero Gravity seating, now standard for the first and second rows. These seats reduce pressure on the hips and spine, delivering a more ergonomic posture. A 10 point massage function comes standard, while an advanced 16 point version is available for enhanced comfort.
XPeng also prioritized ease of access to the rear seats by integrating the center aisle into the second row seat design, allowing for smooth, flexible movement, especially for children under the age of 10. The cabin offers 7.7 square meters of usable space, a generous 136 cm interior height, and a 16.5 cm wide central aisle, reinforcing a sense of openness. The third row has also received significant enhancements, featuring full electric adjustment for both backrests and headrests and the ability to fold completely flat, offering space comparable to the second row seats of a Mercedes Benz GLE.
Smarter features for better journeys
XPeng has significantly elevated the in cabin experience of the X9 by introducing a wide array of intelligent features. Among the highlights are soft close doors for the front row and a massive 21.4 inch rear entertainment screen with TÜV Rheinland certification for blue light protection and a stepless tilt function from 0 to 75 degrees. The cabin is also equipped with a multifunction 10.8 liter unit that acts as both a refrigerator and a warmer, a centrally distributed surround style air conditioning system, a 220V power outlet, a microphone free karaoke system, and a single button electric folding mechanism for the rear seats.
On the smart driving front, all trims of the 2025 X9 now come equipped with XPeng’s advanced AI powered ADAS system. The vehicle also features the new Little Blue Light visual indicator, an innovative lighting element designed to communicate system status during autonomous driving visually.
Smooth Handling and Confident Control
Xpeng has heavily invested in refining the dynamic performance of the X9 to deliver a smoother, more comfortable driving experience across various road conditions. The model retains its active rear wheel steering system, enabling a tight turning radius of just 5.4 meters, which enhances maneuverability in tight urban spaces and parking scenarios. Additionally, Xpeng has leveraged AI driven simulations to optimize the suspension system and introduced a smart "6D anti motion sickness" algorithm that minimizes body roll during cornering and over bumps, improving stability and reducing passenger fatigue.
In its pursuit of exceptional in cabin comfort, Xpeng allocated 50 million yuan to enhance 58 elements within the vehicle’s NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) insulation system. This effort brought interior noise levels down to those of luxury vehicles priced above one million yuan. Altogether, the company's total investment in soundproofing technologies exceeds 500 million yuan (251 million AED), underscoring its commitment to a serene, high end driving experience.
The X9 is built on a high voltage 800V EV platform and offers two battery options: a 105 kWh NMC pack and a 94.8 kWh LFP variant. Visually, the 2025 model introduces three new colors, Nebula Purple, Galaxy Blue, and Matte Starship Gray, joining existing options such as Nebula White, Midnight Black, and New Moon Silver. Optional 20 inch "Star Gaze" wheels with dynamic floating center caps add a refined and futuristic design touch.
