Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng said it will introduce an extended-range version of its X9 multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in October, marking its first entry into the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) market.
The seven-seat X9 EREV, described by the company as the world’s longest-range new energy MPV, will be built on an 800-volt high-voltage platform supporting 5C ultra-fast charging. According to Xpeng, the model will offer a battery-only range of 450 kilometers under the CLTC standard, and a combined range of up to 1,600 kilometers when both fully charged and fueled.
The vehicle uses a 1.5-liter engine supplied by Harbin Dongan Auto Engine as a range extender, producing up to 110 kW of power. It is paired with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries sourced from CALB. Filing data shows the X9 EREV measures 5,316 mm in length, 1,988 mm in width, and 1,785 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,160 mm, making it slightly longer than the all-electric X9 launched in January 2024.
Xpeng said it has deployed more than 1,000 test vehicles over a cumulative 800 days, spanning 20 countries and 330 cities, with the X9 EREV accumulating over 20 million kilometers in testing under conditions including sub-zero cold, high heat, and high altitudes.
The model will be the company’s first EREV, followed by other planned entries in the segment. The extended-range G7 SUV has already appeared in a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) catalog and is set for launch in the first quarter of 2026, while a P7+ sedan EREV is expected the same year. An extended-range G6 SUV is also in development, with early images circulating on Chinese social media in July.
Xpeng unveiled its Kunpeng Super Electric System in November 2024, claiming models equipped with the technology could achieve ranges of up to 1,400 kilometers, with battery-only distances reaching about 430 kilometers. The X9 EREV will be the first to adopt this system as part of the company’s strategy to expand beyond pure battery-electric vehicles.
