The Xpeng X9 luxury people-mover is generating significant local interest in Australia, with numerous expressions of interest received on the newly launched Xpeng Australia website. If approved, it would become the third Xpeng model available in Australia, following the upcoming G6 and the anticipated G9 SUV. The X9, a potential rival to other Chinese luxury people-movers like the Zeekr 009 and LDV Mifa 9, features high-end amenities such as a drop-down screen, massage chairs, and a fridge. Although not yet confirmed, TrueEV, the importer, is optimistic about the X9’s prospects and is working to meet Australian certification requirements. The vehicle’s success hinges on proving local demand and potentially contributing to development costs. The X9 is a seven-seat model with various battery and motor configurations, offering a range up to 702km.
