How does it compare?
XPENG G9 goes head-to-head against some worthy adversaries in the electric SUV arena. We line it up against the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 e-tron, BMW iX3, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E, scrutinizing range, acceleration, power, charging time, and price.
Range
With an impressive range of up to 650 kilometers (around 404 miles), the XPENG G9 flaunts its stamina. The Tesla Model Y follows closely with a respectable 531 kilometers (330 miles), while the Audi Q4 e-tron offers around 511 kilometers (317 miles). The BMW iX3 trails at approximately 460 kilometers (286 miles), and the Ford Mustang Mach-E holds the middle ground with 482 kilometers (300 miles). Clearly, the G9 is the marathon runner in this troupe.
Acceleration
Speed demons rejoice! The XPENG G9 rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in a brisk 3.9 seconds. Nipping at its heels, the Tesla Model Y takes a smidgen longer at 3.5 seconds, proving its no slouch. The Ford Mustang Mach-E floors it with a comparable 3.7 seconds. In contrast, the Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX3 are more stately, clocking in at 6.2 and 6.8 seconds respectively. The G9 seems to strike a balance of rapidity and practicality.
Power
Under the hood, or rather under the chassis, the XPENG G9 churns out 551 horsepower, embodying muscle and finesse. The Tesla Model Y stands mighty with 450 horsepower, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E swings in with an athletic 480 horsepower. The Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX3 lag slightly behind with 295 horsepower and 286 horsepower respectively. In terms of raw power, the G9 is the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Charging Time
The XPENG G9 charges from 10% to 80% in a mere 30 minutes thanks to its 800V architecture. The Tesla Model Y showcases an impressive 22 minutes Supercharger feat. Ford Mustang Mach-E is relatively nimble, managing the same feat in 45 minutes. However, the Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX3 take a leisurely 30 minutes from 5% to 80%. Here, the G9 is respectable, yet the competition nips closer in this category.

Finally, the moolah. The XPENG G9 offers you an entry ticket at approximately $56,700 (£41,800, €49,000). The Tesla Model Y snags your wallet a tad more at $65,990 (£48,990, €56,900), while the Ford Mustang Mach-E is relatively approachable at $56,000 (£40,400, €49,800).
