Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On September 15, Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer XPENG announced via its Sina Weibo account that the super range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) version of its XPENG X9 was scheduled to make its official debut next month.
XPENG said the XPENG X9's REEV version underwent an extensive development process, involving over 1,000 test vehicles over 800 days. Testing spanned 330 cities across 20 countries, covering more than 20 million kilometers, and subjected the SUV to extreme conditions ranging from sub-zero climates, high temperature to high-altitude terrain.
According to official filings from China's MIIT, the new vehicle measures 5,316mm in length, 1,988mm in width, and 1,785mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,160mm. It is powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery developed by Chinese battery manufacturer CALB, with an electric motor delivering a rated output of 110kW and a peak output of 210kW, complemented by an internal combustion engine generating a maximum net power of 110kW.
The REEV version of the XPENG X9 features an 800V high-voltage architecture, combined with 5C ultra-fast charging technology and a large-capacity battery. This setup enables a battery-powered range exceeding 450 kilometers, while a combined range surpasses 1,600 kilometers, effectively eliminating concerns over charging downtime and range anxiety.
