This is exactly why competition works. You get better batteries, software, safety, efficiency, features, etc. Tariff protections for obsolete industries only prolongs their collapse, keeps customers in the dark ages.
But if an adversarial power uses its endless loans from the IMF(America and Europe) to fund deficit industries to destroy your industries no matter what the cost, do you buy their products to shove the knife in your self? Viking is already bought and paid for by the Chinese, but is all of Europe going to be UA-camrs to make a living?
That is only until your competition has its government paying them to decimate your market while yours doesn't. All at the same time they manipulate their currency. Fair competition.. We actually have laws about that.
@@davidfrankel9267 Literally US has a permanent manipulation of their currency going because of their government. Also because of lobbying they literally made legal to just buy policy that crushes your competition.
China has socialist planning and public money. US is a corporatocracy with private corporate money. China used a form of tariffs to kick start their auto industry. Then, they pumped it with state credit, built out colleges, and invested in an updated grid. Tariffs are good, but they must be paired with industrial planning, which the US as a finance corporatocracy can not do.
A comment on Xpeng from Denmark where they are selling really well. The G6 just started to appear on the roads here. Xpeng has teamed up with the national Mercedes Benz dealer network, Hessel where you now can buy the cars, test drive them and have them serviced. They have proved to be very customer orientated and actually listen to their customers. It looks like many of the updates and improvements come from customer feedback. This is what I get from the Danish Xpeng Facebook groups at least 🙂 I do not own an Xpeng but the G6 is on the top 3 list of potential next cars.
I can confirm that Xpeng is very, very customer oriented. I''m driving the G9 SR since last November and yes, the software has not been perfect from the start. But quickly user groups were formed and those groups came into contact with Xpeng. Through the dealers in the different countries the feedback from these groups gets collected and forwarded to the dev teams in China. For example. In the early software there were a LOT of bleeps and plongs and other warning sounds that apparently are a thing in Chinese cars. Maybe due to regulations? I do not know. However, this was huge pain for European owners. Two SW updates later those sounds were could permanently turned off. Another example: there were a lot of complaints about the auto lane change functionality. This did not work very well. This took a little long to fix but since the latest release the car is so much more confident in automatically changing lanes. I use it a lot. Another complaint was that, when on Lane Centering Control & ACC mode, the car would be quite close to trucks when over taking. Since the latest release, when the car sees you will be over taking a truck, it will gently move a bit more to the left to leave a bigger gap between you and the truck. This makes it feel more safe and comfortable. The lines between customers and the dev teams in Xpeng are not very long and my experience up until now is that they really are listening to their customers. I guess they realize that feedback from customers is like having free real world test results. Regarding the G9. This is my first EV so probably part of my enthusiasm about the G9 is due to the fact that EV's generally are nicer to drive. Because of the silence and instant and ever present torque. But apart from that the car feels very well designed. I drove a Skoda Kodiaq before, which I really liked. But compared to that car the G9 definitely is step up regarding driving comfort, technology and refinement. Since a few weeks the XOS, the SW that drives the control screens, got a complete revamp. Much more intuitive and user friendly. With the option to split the screen in two-third/1-third sections where you can display different applications. E.g. the surrounding view (displaying the cars around you. Like Tesla) and the navigation map. You can also place a whole row of short cuts on the bottom of the screen. E.g. for the seat heating, phone, seat ventilation what ever. Full customisable. Is the car perfect ? No, but since the sw updates will be monthly from now on (with a few updates being major releases) the car will become better and better. In all the years I drove Citroen, Ford, Skoda Octavia, Seat Ateca, Skoda Kodiaq I never had 1 single SW update to my car. Even in the later models Skoda advertised that the car could receive SW updates.
Why would you buy one? These cars have no engineering history, where’s the spare parts backup if you live in regional Australia? who built the battery? Where’s the test data? You could be buying a lemon, and a bloody big one at that. Buy something proven mate.
I'm in Hong Kong and just ordered G6 yesterday. Can't wait to deliver! I've done a lot of research. Zeekr X was close but here in Hong Kong we get European version of Zeekr X. Not Chinese version. Many features are removed. So Xpeng G6 is best with Autopilot as standard, 800v architecture...
@@kwu6456 nice. I choose standard range mostly because of the LFP battery. I know NMC battery has its own advantage. (std range also cheaper😁) Anyway, they told me the color combination I choose (white outside, grey inside) is not on stock. Probably will be delivered on late October. We will see. Enjoy your new Xpeng!
I did a test drive in Belgium. The luxury is insane for that price. I ordered the standard range model straight away. You have the air suspension on the Performance version, but because the alloy rims of the Standard version are smaller, the tires are bigger and consequently give a softer feel during driving. So in the end there is not a big difference between the Standard and the Performance when it comes to damping.
I just bought this car yesterday in Dubai (G9 performance for USD 68K). Expecting delivery (after PDI) next week. Customer No. 8 in Dubai! Technically, the dealership has not opened yet, but they are selling a few units. I also saw the X9 minivan at the showroom and it blew me away!
@@Rubicon365 I have 2014 b class. It's 10 years old, kind of budget mercedes. But I tried many brand new cars recently, all those tech and features, my b class always feels better. Benz quality is really different. Xpeng is close to that. G9 is super luxurious, G6 is perfect for family. Almost better than Model Y.
Those were probably test vehicles. Xpeng has a number of test engineers driving through testing the vehicles and SW on European roads. Because things are so different from China. And because European road conditions and rules differ so much among the different European countries.
Im from Norway and took delivery for my G9 Perf this summer and I can testify that it is an perfekt car. The prize for an top of the rage model her in Norway is about 756.000 norwegian kroner (71.000 USD) and I cant for the life of me understand why some people are willing to pay more for less. This is, unlike many other large EV's, an well build car wiht few issuses. I took it on a road trip across Sweden, Denmark and Germany this summer and it was amazing. It's nice to be the last one to arrive at det charging station and the first one to leave. It charges bliztering fast. Well worth the money..
I've had mine since November 23 and it replaced my Tesla Model X. I have to admit, it is a way better car than the Tesla. The software was not on par with the Tesla at first, but the new software that came out this summer improved the situation a lot. So far a great experience, and did I mention that the sound levels in the car is exceptionally quiet. It is only two things i miss from the Model X, and that is the possibility for a 7 seat version, and the amazing front window of the X.
the top model with dual motor and air suspension with all the options cost around 46k usd in china. the options start from 34k usd in china. so you can assume how much it will be in australia
Coming in at about $110k AUD it seems as they are going for about €70k-€75k in Europe which would be about $110k here. Impressive for the cost. Great value.
Yes, they are underestimated, because consumer like to suffer and have bad products, this is cheap and very durable, fantastically done, well realized without taking any risk. Customers prefer rands we talk about, but we cannot talk much of Xpeng already sold vehicles, as they are very nice to use and have quite no problem except little bugs because of European law limitations for efficiency, automaticity, and highly overpassing any other ADAS system...
Germany here. Bought the G9 Performance. Great car. charging 60kW in just 17 minutes. Consumption is 18/19 kWh per 100 km. Amazing quality, new software version is improving the right nicely. also have a Model 3…we call it blue pony, the XPeng is „black rhino“ 😁 actually the XPeng is better as many features you would pay 10k more, is in the G9 - like automatic parking and others. I recommend trying both long range and performance and then decide what you prefer. Honestly, I wouldn’t need the performance…551 horsepower outside of Germany is useless
I'm surprised you can't provide a price estimate. The Xpeng rep at the show told me the price was about $80k for the G9 about $60k for the G6....there was no suggestion it was a secret.
That is Aussie dollars. 60,000 Australian is US$40,000. Exch. rate is 1.5 to 1. So the G9 would be US$53,333. Can you believe it? Raise hell and tell the US politicians "NO tariffs on Chinese cars made in Mexico!". They are talking about doing that when the Chinese start manufacturing their vehicles in Mexico and shipping them north. BYD has been shopping for a site among the Mexican states to build a plant. Xpeng should build one there too. These great and affordable Chinese cars should be available in the US now. For sure when they are built in Mexico. It is outright bribery of our politicians that is keeping them out, denying them to us suckers. Why isn't that criminal bribe-taking?
Doubtful it'll be at $80k AUD when it's €70k-€75k in Europe which is about $115k-$120k AUD. So if it comes in at $80k it's more than a bargain. I'll buy one at that price and forgo the Sealion 7.
Yes, exactly, the Xpeng G9 is the best SUV ever done, everything is very discreet, but fantastically done, to be useable for many years (8 years warranty!). It is only 5 seats, because the X9 is much better for 7 persons... There will be alternatives with 7 seat, a bigger SUV will sononly be revealed by Xpeng...
What time does it take - let's say - 4 electric vehicle motors compared to a comparable ICE motor and the according transmission and drive shaft? More general - how much time does it take to produce a complete BEV with 4 motors and a comparable (by size) ICE?
I was really skeptic about a Chinese car after owning mercedes and lexus. I booked a test drive just to see whats all the hype. and immediately after the test drive I ordered the car, never happened to me, always took me a few days to decide before buying a car
Fast charging also requires high current/amps at the charger, and therefore if the charge has to access grid energy, it's going to be higher priced and needing specialised transformers or near bigger transmission lines. Fast charging is a new issue. Chinese are already complaining charging prices have double and they're not even on fast charging yet.
I got a ❤ from Sam the other day. I don’t know why. I’m always hanging poo on his channel, good natured to a degree but still a criticism of the way he throws unverified statistics around like confetti.
Can you please explain on EVs how they heat the cabin? I mean on normal cars they use the heat from the engine. Do EVs need heating elements or something?
EU primary energy profile is Renewable 41%, Nuclear 31% followed by Fossil 27%. They have an excellent use case for eV's since all their electricity is clean. OZ however has primary energy profile Fossil > 80% and Renewable < 20%. All the clean electricity has been taken by household, offices, and factory (>30% of total energy). All Aussia eV are, net, using dirty electricty - unless owner charges direct from his own solar panel.

That's amazing charging speed and range, more than enough for any road trip. Hopefully it will gain access to the Tesla network in the UK, because the rest suck. This is all very well, but it's yet another car that's being made at a huge loss. That's easy, ask Lucid, but will they survive to support what people buy?
not true - i have literally just watched this guy 'Engineering Explained' on youtube - How To Ruin Your Electric Car's Battery ....he explained really well .
Yes, the charging speed is still upgradable on ancient Xpeng G9, they can overpass 480kW charging speed now in China ith the new Xpeng V5 charging station...
They now collaborate together, but Nio is good for battery swapping systems, they will now use Xpeng habilities, as the Nio founder bought for his family the excellent Xpeng X9 MPV as nothing equivalent is available! Now, they will share most of their technologies to allow all customers being much more satisfied, and the software will be adaptable as the Nio version or as the Xpeng Tianji OS which is fantastically clever as using AI since 2021 already, while Tesla tried introducing it in 2023...
VW buying Xpeng’s skateboard and Rivian’s modular electronics and system software… does VW actually have any self-owned modern technology of their own? Geez. I remember when “when traditional automakers jump into the EV sector it’s all over for these EV startups.”
The distributor has little to no idea of what he's going to be selling. The big concerns would be duco, rubbers, plastics lasting in Australian conditions, then general longevity of electronics, and mechanics. It's probably selling in parts of EU well, like those with hydro energy based grids, and due to laws on owning EV's and the price point. People are probably getting in cheap, so to speak.
Nineteen minutes. Call it twenty two by the time you reverse into the bay and hook up. That’s still about fifteen minutes too long if you’re sitting in your EV waiting for a charge bay to become available. What if you’re number two in the line, you’re waiting for 40 minutes then it takes 20 minutes to charge your own EV, that’s an hour of your day wasted. I would go bonkers. Let me know when you’re in and out of a public charge point in 4 minutes from 10% to 100% fully charged and on your way. That’s when I’ll consider getting an EV.
I used to think like that. But I don't feel like it anymore. The range I get on my Standard Range G9 is about 380km. I charge about 1 per week. Very often at home. I do not live very far from work. But my family lives a bit further away. E.g. my mother in law lives about 140km from here. So I can pay her a visit on 1 charge easy. And if I forget to have the car fully charged, I stop at a fast charger along the way and add 100km in 5 minutes. You do not always have to charge to 100%. I do that at home. This summer i was a kind of nervous when we drove to Umbrie, Italy. About 1500km. I was worried about having to search for charging location, defect chargers, occupied chargers. But we experienced none of that. Not in the Netherlands, not in Germany, not in Switzerland and not in Italy. Every 250km - 300km or so we stopped, hooked up the car to the charger, visited a toilet or got a coffee and when we were back, the car had reach 90% or something and we were on our way. No stress...
yet another sales pitch for the g9. maybe it needs that. because a bestseller in europe it is not, unless being outside the top 40 evs by sales there somehow makes it a ‘bestseller’.
It uses Lidars and have them only on some luxuous vehicles, because others can as Tesla did too early, already 2 years ago, identify objects with cameras, but it has 31 sensors, including only for the best ones the RoboSense second-generation smart solid-state LIDARs with 180° horizontal view with a large coverage of what is under the vehicle preceding it... The others sensors are 12 ultrasonic sensors, 4 suround view cameras and 7 others cameras for illustration and movement detections and identification of animals and their abilities based on their age, 5 High resolution millimeter wave radars, and one CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) from ONSEMI with rolling shutter readout and a resolution of 1Mp (as used on the Nio ET5/ET7, LCE DMS, Desay SV for LEVC TX4)
You say that it's cheaper than a Kia EV9. Except that the Kia always comes In a seven or eight seat configuration never a 5 AND the kia also seems a lot bigger than that car.
Well then you can by the G9. Got excellent ratings in the EuroNCAP And I do get what you mean. I was also skeptical about Chinese EV's. But now that I drive one, I cannot deny it is a good car. I have not driven other Chinese cars btw. So I cannot compare the G9 to other Chinese brands. But....when the lease contract ends I will not automatically lease another Chinese car. I do like the EVs that Renault and Peugeot are currently bringing to the market. And probably the European brands will catch up providing more value for money. I do hope they will. I am chauvinistic enough to prefer to drive a European car :-) But I am also someone who would like to get the best bang for his buck. And this time the G9 was just the best offer. In my opinion the European car industry has been way to conservative in the past so I think it is good that they are now being challenged.
dude, you sold it more than the salesman 🤣🤣🤣, they need to cut you a check pronto💰💰. Looks like a good car though, have a MG4 and the software is terrible, making me rethink Chinese EV's to be honest, car has nearly killed me 8 times, I think I have one more life left 🤣🤣

@@jurybunn4051 it's said that G9 is the best selling "large electric" car. So the ICE cars are no comparison. Midsize EVs are also not the object of comparison here.
@@cheng-haowang1202 I still don know how many units has been sold in Europe. I think zero. No normal person will pay retail prive of 60000 euro for chineese product. They will probably give it away foe marketng purposes and forget about it.
I can't listen this crap anymore. Who pays for this advertisments of EV cars? I'm from Europe, I haven't seen this car on the street. And others EV's are marginal.
I really like the channel. But please be realistic when you are trying to promote something. There is no 800v charging infrastructure anywhere else in the world except China. So this 19 minutes charging time is not achievable in the short term and should be treated as a feature!!
Not true, 800v charging is available in Europe, South Korea and other countries. it's more a feature of those countries where three phase electricity supplies are standard as the charger batteries can be quickly recovered after performing a charge. There are a fair number of charger operators who support 800v charging. In the UK for example Ionity and Gridserve support 800v at their sites where 350kW/460kW DC chargers are installed, also some of the operators offer 800v at sites with 150kW DC charging. In some European countries most chargers 50kW, and above, are now 800v capable.
OMG, what an awful representative for such an amazing car. The guy does not even know something as basic as the battery capacity. Unfortunatelt, that lack of knowledge and passion for the cars they are selling is something I am finding very often at dealerships. I do not know how people like that keep their jobs. A piece of paper with the specs would be a better salesman than guys like the one on the video.
How do we be sure what is shown here is correct? Looks like this is the common issues a number of UA-cam channels, not only this one. Just a click baits title and some info that may be correct.
No, totally wrong, is charges up to 480 kW now on V5 chargers, in Europa we are late with a 320kW lomit or about it, but it will change... And this is not a risky increased efficiency system based on 900 V, it is a secure 680V up to 720V or so...
No chance, in Europe for G9, not beautifull, big, with high importation charges, avoid insurrance will be big, and maintenance difficult, avoid to loose money
Totally wrong, it is one if the 5 most effective car and secure vehicle in the world to spare loosing money... The quality is fantastic, and the warranty is for 8 years or 160000 km.

That is Aussie dollars. 60,000 Australian is US$40,000. Exch. rate is 1.5 to 1. So the G9 would be US$53,333. Can you believe it? Raise hell and tell the US politicians "NO tariffs on Chinese cars made in Mexico!". They are talking about doing that when the Chinese start manufacturing their vehicles in Mexico and shipping them north. BYD has been shopping for a site among the Mexican states to build a plant. Xpeng should build one there too. These great and affordable Chinese cars should be available in the US now. For sure when they are built in Mexico. It is outright bribery of our politicians that is keeping them out, denying them to us suckers. Why isn't that criminal bribe-taking?
Doubtful it'll be at $80k AUD when it's €70k-€75k in Europe which is about $115k-$120k AUD. So if it comes in at $80k it's more than a bargain. I'll buy one at that price and forgo the Sealion 7.
Xpeng are at it
They are hardly sold in the EU...
Yes, exactly, the Xpeng G9 is the best SUV ever done, everything is very discreet, but fantastically done, to be useable for many years (8 years warranty!). It is only 5 seats, because the X9 is much better for 7 persons... There will be alternatives with 7 seat, a bigger SUV will sononly be revealed by Xpeng...
It's nice but I think I like Zeekr 7x better. Good competition tho, hopefully bring down the prices of both
Xpeng G9 or Zeekr 7X? Keen to see them both hit the Aussie market. Which is bigger IYHO? Thanks
Could you provide a source for this clame? As I’m aware the Etron and ev9 are the best selling large electric SUV’s
On the Aussie XPeng website it is clear that the G9 is 5 seats and the X9 is 7 seats. X9 is about a foot longer.
What time does it take - let's say - 4 electric vehicle motors compared to a comparable ICE motor and the according transmission and drive shaft?
More general - how much time does it take to produce a complete BEV with 4 motors and a comparable (by size) ICE?
Mate, the 'easy access' feature for getting into the car has been in our Teslas for a long time.
I was really skeptic about a Chinese car after owning mercedes and lexus. I booked a test drive just to see whats all the hype. and immediately after the test drive I ordered the car, never happened to me, always took me a few days to decide before buying a car
Fast charging also requires high current/amps at the charger, and therefore if the charge has to access grid energy, it's going to be higher priced and needing specialised transformers or near bigger transmission lines. Fast charging is a new issue. Chinese are already complaining charging prices have double and they're not even on fast charging yet.
The G9, currently, is not set up to be a 7-seater, but it seats 5 comfortably.
I got a ❤ from Sam the other day. I don’t know why. I’m always hanging poo on his channel, good natured to a degree but still a criticism of the way he throws unverified statistics around like confetti.
Can you please explain on EVs how they heat the cabin? I mean on normal cars they use the heat from the engine. Do EVs need heating elements or something?
They use the battery and as soon as you use it- wow the battery life is a joke. Cold climate ? Wait until we see 1000 mile range.
This trade war should result in a huge surplus of cars in China for export. Australia could benefit
EU primary energy profile is Renewable 41%, Nuclear 31% followed by Fossil 27%. They have an excellent use case for eV's since all their electricity is clean.
OZ however has primary energy profile Fossil > 80% and Renewable < 20%. All the clean electricity has been taken by household, offices, and factory (>30% of total energy). All Aussia eV are, net, using dirty electricty - unless owner charges direct from his own solar panel.
Love to see a citation for your stats. And ALL their electricity is clean? About 1/4 is not. Your "renewable" stats are off, by a lot. Just an FYI.
Hi, great job as always, G9 or Zeekr X7 in your opinion, AWD version
Great. Anyone seen any actual superchargers around? Didn't think so.
All over the place here in Cali always 70-100% empty. +90% charge at home.

Question, Is Xpeng getting hit with a 30% tariff in Europe?
yes i bet
Both Xpeng and NIO face a 20.8% additional tariff on top of the 10% base rate, so the final rate is about 30%.

Best selling car in Europr???
Would you provide numbers of this car sold and others of the same segment? Thanks
You can find this very easily on internet...
In Sweden the Kia EV9 sells about 4x the number of G9. More or less same price. Statistics from car dot info.
You sound like the manager of his department.
best selling large Electric car in Europe. But you obviously do not even see the difference, if you can ask as you do.
“Large Electric” best seller. What that actually means no one knows so easy to claim it!
The Electric Asterix?
Great review but Paul wasn't really selling it or know anything about it.
Can someone hint at precise price point in Australia yet?
That's amazing charging speed and range, more than enough for any road trip. Hopefully it will gain access to the Tesla network in the UK, because the rest suck.
This is all very well, but it's yet another car that's being made at a huge loss. That's easy, ask Lucid, but will they survive to support what people buy?
😮 cheaper than the ev9. Add to my list
Which list? List "Which EVs NOT to buy"? "Wish list"? Etc.
😮😮😮
@@stefan2796 dumbest answer. No my ev list to consider.

Here for the bicep thirst trap
Never seen one here. I do note that BMW EVs are now outselling Tesla in Europe...
So about what % of ev9 price will it be ya think ? Give us a %
wonder were they got their tech
Are we going to see this come in under the LCT?
When charge time is less than getting a tank of gas, no one will buy gas cars anymore, seems like it will happen soon
Yes, the charging speed is still upgradable on ancient Xpeng G9, they can overpass 480kW charging speed now in China ith the new Xpeng V5 charging station...
Shouldn’t compare the g9 to a 7 seat EV. G9 only has 5 seats. Lots of statements in the video that don’t make sense
Nice car but Xpeng needs a better staff!
Xpeng is nice, but i prefer Nio.
So much value for the cost, compared to low tech plastic stuff from western car makers, thats overpriced.
Byd
They now collaborate together, but Nio is good for battery swapping systems, they will now use Xpeng habilities, as the Nio founder bought for his family the excellent Xpeng X9 MPV as nothing equivalent is available! Now, they will share most of their technologies to allow all customers being much more satisfied, and the software will be adaptable as the Nio version or as the Xpeng Tianji OS which is fantastically clever as using AI since 2021 already, while Tesla tried introducing it in 2023...

Aerodynamics
The Kia EV9 looks like a Kia. The G9 looks like a super premium luxury SUV. I won't buy it because the panoramic roof has no sliding sun blind.
Why is the tesla semi.being investigated by the ntsb?😂
VW buying Xpeng’s skateboard and Rivian’s modular electronics and system software… does VW actually have any self-owned modern technology of their own? Geez. I remember when “when traditional automakers jump into the EV sector it’s all over for these EV startups.”
The distributor has little to no idea of what he's going to be selling. The big concerns would be duco, rubbers, plastics lasting in Australian conditions, then general longevity of electronics, and mechanics. It's probably selling in parts of EU well, like those with hydro energy based grids, and due to laws on owning EV's and the price point. People are probably getting in cheap, so to speak.
Nineteen minutes. Call it twenty two by the time you reverse into the bay and hook up. That’s still about fifteen minutes too long if you’re sitting in your EV waiting for a charge bay to become available. What if you’re number two in the line, you’re waiting for 40 minutes then it takes 20 minutes to charge your own EV, that’s an hour of your day wasted. I would go bonkers. Let me know when you’re in and out of a public charge point in 4 minutes from 10% to 100% fully charged and on your way. That’s when I’ll consider getting an EV.
I used to think like that. But I don't feel like it anymore. The range I get on my Standard Range G9 is about 380km. I charge about 1 per week. Very often at home. I do not live very far from work.
But my family lives a bit further away. E.g. my mother in law lives about 140km from here. So I can pay her a visit on 1 charge easy. And if I forget to have the car fully charged, I stop at a fast charger along the way and add 100km in 5 minutes. You do not always have to charge to 100%. I do that at home.
This summer i was a kind of nervous when we drove to Umbrie, Italy. About 1500km. I was worried about having to search for charging location, defect chargers, occupied chargers. But we experienced none of that. Not in the Netherlands, not in Germany, not in Switzerland and not in Italy. Every 250km - 300km or so we stopped, hooked up the car to the charger, visited a toilet or got a coffee and when we were back, the car had reach 90% or something and we were on our way.
No stress...
yet another sales pitch for the g9. maybe it needs that. because a bestseller in europe it is not, unless being outside the top 40 evs by sales there somehow makes it a ‘bestseller’.
Boot room looks underwhelming
Nice car but I'm unconvinced by vision only ADAS
It uses Lidars and have them only on some luxuous vehicles, because others can as Tesla did too early, already 2 years ago, identify objects with cameras, but it has 31 sensors, including only for the best ones the RoboSense second-generation smart solid-state LIDARs with 180° horizontal view with a large coverage of what is under the vehicle preceding it... The others sensors are 12 ultrasonic sensors, 4 suround view cameras and 7 others cameras for illustration and movement detections and identification of animals and their abilities based on their age, 5 High resolution millimeter wave radars, and one CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) from ONSEMI with rolling shutter readout and a resolution of 1Mp (as used on the Nio ET5/ET7, LCE DMS, Desay SV for LEVC TX4)
You say that it's cheaper than a Kia EV9. Except that the Kia always comes In a seven or eight seat configuration never a 5 AND the kia also seems a lot bigger than that car.
Only consider any car made in China if it passes the testing in the US/Europe.
Well then you can by the G9. Got excellent ratings in the EuroNCAP
And I do get what you mean. I was also skeptical about Chinese EV's. But now that I drive one, I cannot deny it is a good car. I have not driven other Chinese cars btw. So I cannot compare the G9 to other Chinese brands.
But....when the lease contract ends I will not automatically lease another Chinese car. I do like the EVs that Renault and Peugeot are currently bringing to the market. And probably the European brands will catch up providing more value for money. I do hope they will. I am chauvinistic enough to prefer to drive a European car :-) But I am also someone who would like to get the best bang for his buck. And this time the G9 was just the best offer.
In my opinion the European car industry has been way to conservative in the past so I think it is good that they are now being challenged.
I guess G9 sells more in EU than in China.
They don't sell a lot in the EU. Title is clickbait imo.

Maybe you should bring in some facts or label it as xPeng advertising? How many units were sold in Europe?
Best selling large EV in Europe? But you hardly see them on the road in Europe...so pure lies, depending on the definition of 'large'.
How much are they paying you for this advert? I’m in Europe not seen one yet.
Yeah, they stole the code to Teslas vision system 👍
Not at all, this was totally wrong, they did not stole it, they improved it but Tesla did not want to collaborate with them!
😂❤why not say western worlds stole Chinese paper n printing invention 🎉❤
Best selling - really, when only available in 6 European countries?
dude, you sold it more than the salesman 🤣🤣🤣, they need to cut you a check pronto💰💰. Looks like a good car though, have a MG4 and the software is terrible, making me rethink Chinese EV's to be honest, car has nearly killed me 8 times, I think I have one more life left 🤣🤣

how about its reliability and parts lol you don't buy a car just by its features
Classic. Guy being interviewed knows little about the car.
2000 cars delivered! That’s not really big
Delivered (maybe), certainly not sold
I really like the channel. But please be realistic when you are trying to promote something. There is no 800v charging infrastructure anywhere else in the world except China. So this 19 minutes charging time is not achievable in the short term and should be treated as a feature!!
Not true, 800v charging is available in Europe, South Korea and other countries. it's more a feature of those countries where three phase electricity supplies are standard as the charger batteries can be quickly recovered after performing a charge. There are a fair number of charger operators who support 800v charging. In the UK for example Ionity and Gridserve support 800v at their sites where 350kW/460kW DC chargers are installed, also some of the operators offer 800v at sites with 150kW DC charging. In some European countries most chargers 50kW, and above, are now 800v capable.
OMG, what an awful representative for such an amazing car. The guy does not even know something as basic as the battery capacity.
Unfortunatelt, that lack of knowledge and passion for the cars they are selling is something I am finding very often at dealerships. I do not know how people like that keep their jobs. A piece of paper with the specs would be a better salesman than guys like the one on the video.
Do we? I've never even seen one...
70% charge in 19 min. is a charge rate of about 2C, which is typical, does not seem overly fast to me.

How do we be sure what is shown here is correct? Looks like this is the common issues a number of UA-cam channels, not only this one. Just a click baits title and some info that may be correct.
No, totally wrong, is charges up to 480 kW now on V5 chargers, in Europa we are late with a 320kW lomit or about it, but it will change... And this is not a risky increased efficiency system based on 900 V, it is a secure 680V up to 720V or so...
Whos payroll are you on .? The Chinese .?
The Klingon.
No chance, in Europe for G9, not beautifull, big, with high importation charges, avoid insurrance will be big, and maintenance difficult, avoid to loose money
Yes, don't buy the first iPhone,or CD player. Never catch on.
