The new model will be available in four models, with prices ranging from CNY 359,800 to CNY 419,800. The Xpeng X9 will be equipped with the XOS Dimensity intelligent cockpit system for the first time, and it is currently the only MPV in the world to be equipped with rear-wheel steering as standard.
The Xpeng X9 is a luxury MPV-type electric vehicle with an excellent intelligent driving system that can achieve a 350,000-level intelligent driving experience in many aspects. Below, I will introduce the technical details of intelligent driving systems, sensors and chips, deep vision neural networks, etc. The Xpeng X9 is known for its excellent exterior design and luxurious interior. The streamlined design of the body is combined with a sense of fashion, giving people a sense of dynamism and youthful vitality. The spacious and comfortable cabin space makes the ride more comfortable, and the high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship demonstrate Xpeng's ultimate pursuit of detail. At the same time, the Xpeng X9 is also equipped with a series of intelligent technology functions, such as a large-size LCD screen, voice recognition system and intelligent driving assistance, etc., providing users with a higher quality driving experience.
- Intelligent driving system:
Full-scene intelligent assisted driving system, Xpeng X9 is equipped with an all-scene perception system, which can achieve highly automated driving, including automatic driving, adaptive cruise, automatic lane change, automatic parking and other functions. This system is made possible by multiple sensors and an advanced computing platform.
- Sensors & Chips:
29 sensors, Xpeng X9 is equipped with 29 sensors, including lidar, millimeter-wave radar, camera, ultrasonic sensor, etc., which cover all directions around the vehicle and are used to perceive the vehicle's surroundings, detect obstacles and road conditions. Dual Orin-X smart driving chips, Xpeng X9 uses NVIDIA's Orin-X smart driving chip, which is a high-performance computing platform for processing sensor data and real-time decision-making. It is capable of high-speed computation and deep learning inference to ensure the safety and efficiency of the vehicle in a variety of driving scenarios.
- Best-in-class safety standards:
The Xpeng X9 adopts the industry's first front and rear integrated aluminum die-casting body structure, and the torsional rigidity reaches an astonishing 46,000N·m/deg, setting a new benchmark for safety in the MPV field. This innovative design makes Xpeng X9 have a high degree of confidence in safety performance.
- Make endurance anxiety a thing of the past:
In terms of power performance, Xpeng X9 also lives up to expectations. Equipped with an advanced electric drive system, the Xpeng X9 has a strong power output and excellent range. The unique battery management system and intelligent energy recovery technology make the Xpeng X9 outstanding in terms of energy efficiency, bringing users lower operating costs and more reliable performance. Powered by an 800V high-voltage SiC platform, the X9 can achieve a maximum charging time of 10 minutes and add a range of up to 300 km. This means not only a longer range, but also a higher charging efficiency, completely eliminating range anxiety.
- XNet 2.0 Deep Visual Neural Network:
XNet 2.0 is the deep vision neural network of the Xpeng X9, which is an artificial intelligence-based vision system that recognizes and understands the environment around the vehicle in real time. XNet 2.0 can identify various objects such as road signs, vehicles, pedestrians, traffic lights, etc., to assist drivers in making the right decisions. Through deep learning and large-scale data training, XNet 2.0 is able to continuously improve its performance, improve recognition accuracy and reaction speed, and thus improve the driving experience.
As a representative of the 350,000-level high-value family car, Xpeng X9 is stepping into the future with its unique exterior design, luxurious interior, and strong power performance.
