The Xpeng X9 is a futuristic MPV that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie, with the gizmos and gadgets to match, too.
What’s great
- The X9 would look right at home in any sci-fi movie, with striking looks that make it stand out in traffic.
- One of the most equipment-filled cars on sale today, with every manner of amenity you could need or want.
- Despite its size, the X9 actually drives very well, with up to five degrees of rear-wheel steering allowing for ease of manoeuvrability.
What’s good
- The second-row seats are some of the best in the market, with massaging, heating, cooling, and even a TV to serve as relaxation and entertainment.
- The car’s 800V architecture is capable of up to 317kW of fast charging, useful for filling up the hefty 101.5kWh battery pack.
- The infotainment system is zippy, full of features, and has no lag at all.
What’s not great
- The steering wheel is not the most comfortable to hold at the 9-and-3 position.
- More physical buttons in the centre console would’ve been nice to see.
