XPENG puts XPENG X9 MPV model onto Thai market

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese smart electric vehicle maker XPENG recently announced that the XPENG X9 has officially hit the Thai market, according to its Weibo account, a Twitter-like social media platform in China.

The XPENG X9, which was put onto the Chinese market on January 1, 2024, offers four trim levels, with prices ranging from 359,800 yuan to 419,800 yuan. Built on the SEPA 2.0 architecture, it is a pure electric 7-seat MPV model.

In terms of design, the X9 features a starship-inspired design language, employing bold, sharp lines that give the vehicle a futuristic and dynamic look. Its sculpted surfaces break away from the conventional boxy MPV design, delivering a visually impactful and distinctive look.

Regarding power performance, the X9 features an 800V XPower electric drive system, delivering a maximum power output of 370 kW and peak torque of 640 N·m. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds, with a top speed of 200 km/h. The X9 boasts a maximum range of over 700 km under the CLTC condition, with a combined energy consumption of 16.2 kWh per 100 km. With 10 minutes of charging, the vehicle can gain up to 300 km of range.

This year, XPENG has been stepping up its international market expansion. The company has introduced several intelligent electric vehicle models in various countries, including Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal. Additionally, XPENG has also expanded into the Middle Eastern and African countries.

In November, XPENG signed an official dealership agreement with IML (International Motors Ltd.), an European distributor for automobile manufacturers, marking the company's official entry into the UK market. XPENG said its first model to be launched in the UK would be the G6, which is expected to hit the market in early 2025.

XPENG plans to continue expanding into key markets in Europe, ASEAN, the Middle East, Latin America, and Oceania. At the Paris Motor Show 2024, the company announced its goal to enter over 60 countries and regions globally by the end of 2025. In the next decade, it aims for its oversea sales to account for half of its total sales.
