When family demand for MPVs evolves from “good enough” to “easy to use, easy to drive, and premium,” the 2026 Xpeng X9 Super Range-Extended Edition (Xpeng X9 EREV) delivers a highly convincing answer. Continuing the futuristic mecha-inspired design of the pure electric version, this range-extended model achieves precise upgrades in design details, space utilization, driving control, and range performance. Every improvement directly addresses the core pain points of family users. Next, we will comprehensively analyze the product strength of this flagship MPV from exterior to interior, from static to dynamic.

Exterior Design

Starting with the front fascia, the Xpeng X9 Super Range-Extended Edition does not overturn the sci-fi tone of the pure electric version, but instead enhances its premium feel through refined detailing. The signature polygonal openings are replaced by a more practical active air intake grille, combined with a full-width black horizontal trim strip that lowers the visual center of gravity, creating a clean, elegant, and stable appearance. The newly added vertical air-guiding ducts on both sides are a highlight, not only optimizing aerodynamics and reducing drag, but also strengthening visual impact with sharp lines, preventing this large MPV from appearing bulky.
 

It is worth noting that the new Aurora Green paint adopts BASF high-transparency clear-coat technology, presenting flowing light and shadow gradients under different lighting conditions, with a texture comparable to top luxury models. The lighting system remains the core carrier of technological appeal. The classic combination of full-width daytime running lights and split headlights, together with a three-segment LED light group, delivers outstanding nighttime recognition. Each illumination seems to tell the story of future mobility aesthetics.
 

The side profile perfectly balances practicality and elegance. The fastback roofline gradually slopes down from the B-pillar, breaking the traditional boxy outline of MPVs and outlining smooth, graceful body lines. This design is not only for visual appeal, but also optimizes aerodynamic performance, laying a foundation for better range and cabin quietness. The ultra-long 3160 mm wheelbase, combined with a short front overhang, maximizes body length advantages and directly guarantees spacious interior seating.
 

The combination of wide wheel arches and 20-inch Starshine floating wheels further strengthens the sense of power. The dynamic fixed-axis wheel cap technology keeps the Xpeng logo always upright while driving, reflecting premium craftsmanship in every detail. For family users, the sliding door design is especially considerate: a 1.5-meter ultra-wide opening combined with an electric sliding step allows elderly passengers and children to enter and exit effortlessly, completely solving the inconvenience of traditional MPVs.
 

The rear design continues the starship style of the pure electric version, presenting a full and layered visual effect. The large frameless rear window echoes the diffuser-style lower bumper, creating a strong sporty and futuristic atmosphere. The full-width taillight is the visual centerpiece of the rear, using crystal-cut craftsmanship to form a three-dimensional and transparent light band when illuminated, delivering stunning nighttime recognition. The layered rear bumper design, with air ducts on both sides echoing the front fascia, enhances overall design coherence.
 

Even more commendable is that the range-extended version fully retains the rear-wheel steering system of the pure electric model. This allows the over-5.3-meter MPV to achieve a turning radius of only 5.4 meters, even better than many compact sedans, greatly improving convenience in urban driving and residential maneuvering, and completely eliminating the traditional “clumsy” image of large MPVs.

Interior Design

Entering the cabin, the wrap-around cockpit design immediately brings a strong sense of enclosure and security. The 17.3-inch central display and 10.25-inch instrument panel form a clear visual interaction center. The built-in Tianji OS 5.6.0 system responds quickly and smoothly, supporting continuous multi-command voice interaction without repeated wake-ups. Whether adjusting air-conditioning temperature or setting navigation routes, everything can be completed with a single voice command, greatly improving driving convenience and safety.
 

The 21.4-inch rear ecological entertainment screen is truly a “mobile cinema cabin.” It supports 0–75° free adjustment to match different seating postures, and is TÜV Rheinland low blue-light certified. Together with triple anti-pinch protection, it satisfies entertainment needs while providing comprehensive safety for children.
 

Space flexibility is one of the core strengths of the Xpeng X9 EREV. Its three-row electric triple-folding system allows the third row to be folded flat electrically in a 60/40 split, unlocking multiple travel scenarios. With all seven seats in use, the trunk can still easily accommodate seven 24-inch suitcases for family long-distance travel. After folding two seats, the spacious cargo area can hold two bicycles for outdoor cycling enthusiasts. When the third row is fully folded, the cabin instantly transforms into a 1.8-meter camping bed, easily meeting both travel rest and outdoor camping accommodation needs, truly realizing the vision of “one car, multiple uses” for family travel.
 

If the static experience shows the Xpeng X9 EREV’s sincerity toward family users, then dynamic driving brings truly surprising changes — “large yet easy to drive” is the most accurate description. As a large MPV over 5.3 meters long, the Xpeng X9 EREV is equipped with a front double-wishbone and rear H-arm all-aluminum independent suspension, combined with dual-chamber air suspension and adaptive dampers, delivering chassis refinement far beyond its class. More importantly, with active rear-wheel steering, its 5.4-meter turning radius allows flexible maneuvering in urban roads. Whether passing through narrow streets or making U-turns in residential areas, most scenarios can be completed in one move, making it easy even for novice drivers.
 

To address the common problem of motion sickness in family travel, the Xpeng X9 EREV provides targeted solutions. The chassis is equipped with six hydraulic bushings and a 6D anti-motion-sickness algorithm. It can intelligently adjust chassis behavior according to different road conditions. On undulating highways, it optimizes suspension travel to reduce body bouncing. In congested traffic, it precisely controls body posture during acceleration and braking. In continuous curves, it predicts lane-change actions and suppresses body roll.
 

Combined with intelligent road preview, the system can detect road undulations and curves in advance, effectively reducing body pitching and sudden tilting, allowing elderly passengers and children to remain comfortable on long journeys and significantly reducing the likelihood of motion sickness.

 

Power

In terms of power, the Xpeng X9 EREV is equipped with a Huawei co-developed 1.5T high-efficiency turbocharged intercooled range extender with a thermal efficiency of up to 43.06%, representing higher energy conversion efficiency and lower fuel consumption. Combined with a high-voltage oil-cooled generator and an 800V silicon-carbide coaxial electric drive, the system delivers a total torque of 465 N·m and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8 seconds.
 

During driving, power output is smooth and linear, with no abrupt sensations commonly found in traditional electric vehicles. Whether starting or overtaking at high speed, it provides continuous and confident power support. Meanwhile, the range extender operates extremely quietly, barely affecting cabin serenity, offering a driving experience close to that of a pure electric vehicle.

 

Safety

Safety is always the top priority for family travel. The Xpeng X9 2026 Super Range-Extended Edition achieves a perfect balance between active and passive safety. The vehicle meets multiple authoritative five-star safety standards, including 2026 E-NCAP and 2024 C-NCAP. With 46,000 N·m/deg torsional rigidity, an 87% high-strength steel-aluminum body, and a 2000 MPa cage structure, it builds an unbreakable passive safety foundation.
 

In terms of passive safety, the vehicle is equipped with nine airbags, including second-row seat cushion airbags and far-side airbags, providing comprehensive protection for both front and rear passengers and minimizing injury in collisions.
 

For active safety, the high-speed intelligent AEB and full-scenario AES systems perform impressively, enabling emergency braking and evasive steering at speeds up to 130 km/h, significantly reducing highway risks. The full-scenario safety rear-drive system also offers special modes for snow, wet roads, and recovery situations, enhancing stability and passability in complex conditions through precise power and torque control, ensuring greater peace of mind for family travel.
 

After a full in-depth experience, what truly moves people about the Xpeng X9 EREV is its precise understanding and comprehensive fulfillment of family needs. The golden combination of “452 km pure electric range + 1602 km total range” completely eliminates long-distance travel anxiety. Daily commuting can rely on pure electric driving to reduce costs, while long trips require no frequent recharging.
 

The combination of dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering breaks the traditional perception that large MPVs are difficult and heavy to drive, making driving relaxed and enjoyable.
