a friend of mine was there and texted med "Tesla Bjjørn is here" hehe 😄
So which one in the video is your friend?🤭
Bjørn is a ninja…Waiting out the crowd and taking off his shoes so there will be no squeaky noices when he prepare to “attack” the car 😅
I've always been critical of Chinese cars, but I have to say now they've come along nicely.
if they keep the price down, I'm sure they will be the market leader
G9 is an AMAZING CAR !
Personally I wish they would try to avoid frameless windows. Barely any automaker gets the alignment of the windows perfectly right so it creates additional noise. It is really unnecessary on a big SUV.
Good video, good car👍 just saw reviews on this G9 from Chinese UA-camrs, would say this car is going to be one of the most competitive players in its segment.
The middle head-rest can be replaced with a projector like the P5. The mirror of the front passenger seat is also different from the driver's. It has adjustable warm lights for the wife to do her make up. Top trim comes with dual chamber air suspension and unlike other EVs where the driving modes are limited, the G9 allows you to fully customise things like the suspension, front/rear wheel drive, regen etc. to your own preference.
Unfortunately, the most outstanding feature in my opinion, its in-house voice assistant, will not be available outside China. It will probably be using a third party provider, which is a far-cry from XPeng's own voice assistant. Some of its amazing features:
1) No need for wake-up command. Just give the command like you're talking to a person
2) Four people can issue commands simultaneously.
3) It knows who's issuing a command and who are just chatting even when both are happening simultaneously
4) It can handle up to 40 commands in one minute. They had to add a 500ms delay as it responds too quickly otherwise.
5) You can issue 4 actions in one command
Really impressive!! 👏👏👏
It must take some masterful coding work behind that voice assistant. It would be a shame not to have it in other languages. It doesn’t make sense for XPeng to work on other versions until the company is fully established in Europe. IMO, it would be a better move to license the code to another European company now. Greater revenue potential and faster to market.
Why don't they make it available outside of China? That really seems nice. I really hopy Xpeng is gonna make an effort softwarewise in Europe. It kinda sucks if we get a gimped version here (which we already kinda do, no LIDAR, xpilot 2.5). I get that Europe needs extra testing, but I hope Xpeng makes the effort and updates it on these cars.
I pre-ordered one, it just seems like such great value compared to other available cars in this class (cheapest that gets close is an Audi Q8, and it's 40.000 euros more expensive).
@@Jajalaatmaar I believe the voice assistant is carefully curated for the Chinese language. But I think they are gradually rolling out some of the features to the international version as well e.g. ability for 4 person's to issue their own commands.
yeah, its a wonder to me why they chose not to include lidar in the European versions. I can only think that it's for strategic reasons. But recently they've just appointed a star marketer to take charge of marketing and overseas expansion. Maybe she'll put her vast experience to good use and position XPeng more appropriately moving forward, which is where they are seriously lacking. XPeng is like a talented engineer who doesn't know how to make a good impression.
@@networm78 Yep. The G9 only starts delivery in the Netherlands in Q4 and specs are subject to change. Maybe they'll still add it in later if we whine enough? I'll definitely ask about it when test drives become available (which should be in Q2).
Even if they only deliver on current specs with the current price it's still a very attractive car.
I realize their marketing isn't great but that also pushes them to offer a low price. If they start in Europe right off the bat with superior assisted driving that would be great. Especially now that Tesla is reducing sensors and their autopilot doesn't seem to improve that much.
Show the Tesla nerds that Xpeng can do it better and you create buzz.
I really like the looks of this car, it really looks good! One of the best looking SUV out there.
Nice looking family car.
I can't wait to see you behind the wheel of the XPeng G9. Thanks for the drop
The lexus RX 450h has a simillarily hidden rear wiper,
so it does not interfere with aerodynamics.
also it looks really clean and nice.
...and if you precondition your car the snow is just sliding down instead of staying on the wiper
Good video! You mentioned the trailer hitch. I have a new test for you! Set up an open trailer with 250 kg of cargo (standard shape and weight). Include this as a new range test for cars that have a trailer hitch. It would be interesting to see the reduction of range at 90 km/h and 120 km/h. 👍🇨🇦
Max speed with trailer is 100 km/h...
@@bjornnyland thx I was thinking of range testing.
Look forward to more videos and updates on the G9!
That looks really nice. A quality interior. I'll be looking out for your full review and 1000K challenge!
If the Citroen C3 and the original Audi e-tron had a baby, this is how it would look.
Sweet-looking SUV! Can't wait for your review of the Zeekr 001!
I love it!
looks indeed really cool stuff! Thanks for your review
I spotted this on test in camo in Dublin Ireland. Unusual to a test car in Ireland especially as these are not sold here.
Hi Bjorn, will you be visiting the Oslo motor show? Can you please stop off at the Fisker Ocean stand? 🙏🏽
Had test drive of G9 in China already. nice car.
When XPeng demonstrated G9's fast charging on his own S4 charging station, it showed the voltage is 701.8V and Current is 632A at peak time.
Amazing feel
Thanks for your review, Bjorn! Does this G9 have the option to install and use Spotify, UA-cam, Google Maps on its infotainment system? Thanks!
This car looks really sick. Damn
Beautiful car !
It's called 'under thigh support'. btw bought an Ioniq 5, thanks Bjorn for your advice
Now if the stock pice would please stop crashing that would be nice!
Good looking car!
This is a truly beautiful car.
Hum... When do you try the MG 4 or the new ZS...
i like lets hope to test it proper on the 1000km challenge.
It looks good, and it seems that it’s good made.
Looks like they made the lag of the software (screen) but again, (Tesla Bjørn ) hasen’t tested it yet.
Also hope that they made the head lights better..
And last thing hope that it comes with a good price, or people Will that what they know
Nice car!
They hide the wiper in the top on range rovers too
Do you already know when you’re going to test drive the car (and try out the charging speed and software user friendliness)?
Got the Volvo EX90(?) add before the video and tbh first time I not skipped an add. This car looks also very good and I think is a rival to this xpeng
Almost every Range/Land rover has the wiper there 😊
2023 car and no adaptive headlamps.. air suspension but no flat boot floor. frameless rear door instead of shadesm USB A ports, single wireless charging port while shape of tray make it difficult to charge with cable, temp .. They just got all priorities wrong. And like you said until you can test software you can tell anything. as I don't care about padded grabhandle if I cannot precondition my car in winter.
Nice first impression video!
@Bjørn The distance meter you use.
So when you measure boot space and it say 900cm, how does it take into account the length of the device itself?
Do I add the device length? 6-8cm?
Yes
laser meter 101: there is two modes can be used, one with the device length, another w/o.
If they let google do the software for the western market that would be dope
Much respect of your automobile knowledge. How is the G 9 compare to Nio and Li auto?
Nio is more “luxury” and good at service(charge&mantainance) while its tech cannot compete with Xpeng. Li auto is good at creat and catch consumer’s demand, it provides big screen, oil engine, six seats…makes people think Li is the car they want.
@@wangernest2520 What makes Nio more luxurious?
Goodbye tesla, no panel gaps, like the tesla, way better interior, it is 100 times better, oh yes a little slower 0 to 100 but faster charge, way better equipped
Hate Fisting in the iso fix. why dont all do it like the swedish and german cars.
Bjørn i have never seen a car with roof handel on the driver side
Word of the year: Churchbench 😂
If you get the Audi e-tron with contour seats the electric leg support extension works excatly the same. No crumb area
wow
This is much better looking than some of the more gaudy looking cars from China.
Read great things about this car from many ppl.
I hope they announce a 6 or 7-seater version!
This only comes as a 5-seater. The one with 3 rows is a new model that will be announced next year.
GAME ON GM & FORD
At least it has instrument cluster
Good by Tesla
Model S and X has instrument cluster.
Very nice idea for the back passengers to be able to adjust the seat. There is guaranteed and option to turn that function off in child safety options.
chinese cars are straight fire these days. this one looks like a home run.
Very impressive
Coming to UK?
not until they cover ALL major EU markets, so not with that generation.
Please consider testing Ford e Transit from Oslo to Bari, Italy, the one with 300 km range and check how many hours it takes.
Cup holders are a copy of the Volkswagen Phaeton. Great Channel Bjørn, 👍👍
And Volkswagen copied from Lotus.
@@bjornnyland which one? The Phaeton launched in 2002.
Wow, have the Germans fallen so behind that they now gladly take credit for a cup holder design?
@@wwbdwwbd Germans nowadays are only able to compete in the „who has the preposterous front face“ category
About the rear wiper, on the Hyundai Tucson it is already done this way!😉

Glad to have dumped my XPEV stock before the SHTF!
Looks Great EV SUV like Normal Gasoline SUV
Sharesholders be aware that Citigroup downgraded the stock to $3.18 USD. Also total cars insurance registrations for first three weeks in October are 3108 only.
You never have a handle over the door at the driver's seat in any car. ;-)
Yeah, the driver should grab the steering wheel, when needs support on bumpy road :D
Xpeng or Kia? 😆
rear window wiper? .. softclose doors?? fast charge??? automatic foldable tow hitch???? FRUNK????? This car has everything!!! But can it deliver? .. and does it have shade for the sunroof?
It comes with a filter that blocks 99% of UV. Early reviews say that they are very effective in blocking the heat. The shade comes as an extra.
@@networm78 Thanks! I'd personally love the shades here in scandinavia shades would help retain heat inside the car during winter
GOD I TOTALLY FORGOT THERE WAS A SUNGLASS HOLDER AND DUAL SCREENS... damn it looks so good
Amazing Chinese made cars..wish to own
12:35 ahahahaha!
I envy the Norwegians who live in such prosperity, they always get the latest models of electric cars first! The car is beautiful like all Chinese cars, and now the only question is how safe are they in the crash test and how good are they!?
greetings from Serbia!
I think they'll get 5 star rating, just like BYD .
It is compliant with the C-NCAP and E-NCAP five-star safety design standards as well as the EU WVTA vehicle certification standards.
Love the car, but hate everything is touch screen menu driven, just like tesla, prefere the Mercedes EQE or better the EQS
Looks like Xpeng may go out of business...only sold 5000 cars in Oct22 it was double that in Oct 21. Looks like similar is happening to NEO.. I never did think battery swap was a good idea.. before long batteries will charge so quick it won't matter, and most charging done at home anyway.
Looks like rounded Niro.
No adaptive headlights ? Thats poor in this class.
„Software like Tesla“.. it‘s Tesla-Software 😅 Yeah. Looks like this roots from T’s Open Source approach some years ago or so
Looks good quality interior. Not sure about exterior.. and another massive SUV….. 🤦♂️ side profile reminds of BMW iX
Yeah! Another SUV...awesome...☹
Not everyone is single and has no wife and kids...
@@bjornnyland I have a wife and two kids but i drive a 28 kwh Ioniq.
But yeah, they dont need a stroller anymore.
It would be nice if al these SUV's were only be used by families 😏
I am just tired of all these same looking, oversized and unefficient vehicles.
@@meiakla2519 I agree, the SUV is old news. Let’s get some estate/station wagons instead. I like the look of the G9 and can’t wait to see it tested. But this car as an estate would be much more compelling than the SUV tag. Just imagine the same space in the boot, the same features, maybe sligtly less space inside, but an aero value of 0,23-0,24 instead of 0,27
@@Timmahh85but after the cost of comfort. SUV’s in general have better ground clearance and suspension, and for older people who dont want to climb out of their seat when stepping out a suv is great.
audi,range rover, ID 5 hmmmm like a real chinees look to EU cars en copy ;)
But with almost every feature included as standard :) Audi, bmw and merc go home!
Ugly front.
Front lights will collect dirt and ice.
I like the front
Great looking car. I've never seen a better looking SUV
Ugly? Does your mother have a unibrow?
@@dr.andersonsghost4315 No, but since you brought it up I believe you liked the front and unibrow since you inherited it from your mom. The car is gonna be out of your league anyways 🤑
@@The_Observer72 Is your mom ugly? I ask because your mom looks exactly like the car's front.
Another interchangeable design from China. It’s like a washing machine. Does the job.
One of the best looking SUVs on the market
How about the safety score. Probably 1 out of 5 stars. Made in china no thank you.
Nowadays Chinese cars get 5 star rating in Euro NCAP and BMW i4 (German) gets only 4 stars...
Man are you living under a rock?
@keith
China will make safe cars, but you'll be stupid forever.
