Can the city really open? Xpeng's first MPV was exposed with a length of 5.45 meters, which is larger than the Denza D9

Fast Technology news on June 19, recently, many netizens have photographed the Xiaopeng X9 driving on the road, although it covers a thick camouflage, it is not difficult to see that it has a huge body.

In the domestic MPV market, ordinary MPV models are basically about 5 meters, up to 5.1 or 5.2 meters, of which the more classic models Chrysler Dajielong and Toyota Senna are in this range.

According to previous reports, the body length of the Xpeng X9 reached a staggering 5.45 meters. With a width of 2.3 meters and a height of just over 2 meters, such a large man is already a giant in the MPV camp, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as the largest MPV in China so far.

So, how much size is a reasonable size? Where is the maximum size limit of MPVs?

At present, almost all of the popular MPVs are mainly in the US market, whether it is the Buick GL8 or Toyota Senna, their user habits are different from those of Chinese consumers. Therefore, it is reasonable to extend the body appropriately to meet the preferences of Chinese consumers.

With the rise of domestic independent brand high-end MPVs, more and more manufacturers have begun to develop large-scale luxury MPVs, with the Denza D9 body length of 5.25 meters and the Lantu Dreamer body length of 5.315 meters, one longer than the other. The X9 launched by Xpeng this time has pushed the size of MPV to a new height.

Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, due to the absence of engine and gearbox, the length of the front can be reduced, the size of the compartment can also be increased, and new energy vehicles can make better use of the interior space.

For example, the Volkswagen ID.Buzz long-axle version, the lengthened body length is still less than 5 meters, but the space utilization in the car is not low, the second row and the third row of seats can be completely flat, with up to 2,469 liters of luggage space, which can fully meet normal needs.

However, in China, traffic in many cities is already very congested, and if you drive a large car with a body length of more than 5.4 meters, the problem of parking alone is estimated to cause drivers a headache. The parking space that was originally poured into it may have to be poured several times.

Of course, as far as the current technical performance of Xpeng is concerned, it is expected that the comprehensive performance of the new MPV will not be too bad, and with Xpeng's excellent intelligent assisted driving, these problems may be solved.

Judging from the expansion project of 120,000 pure electric passenger cars announced by Xpeng branch, Xpeng X9 is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.
