Xpeng is making a bold statement in the luxury MPV space, and it’s not holding back. After debuting the all-electric X9, the company has now unveiled the interior of its extended-range sibling, the X9 EREV. This isn’t just another seven-seater, it’s a high-tech lounge on wheels designed to eliminate range anxiety for good.
While the original X9 BEV already offers a respectable range of up to 740 km, the EREV version pushes the boundaries of what a family vehicle can do. By combining a battery and electric motor with a small gasoline generator, Xpeng is targeting drivers who want the smooth, silent ride of an EV without ever worrying about finding a charger on a long trip. It’s a strategy that acknowledges the diverse needs of the Chinese market, a smart move that even has legacy automakers like Volkswagen partnering with Xpeng to learn from their tech.

A Cabin That Feels Like a Private Jet
Xpeng just dropped the interior images, and it’s clear they are aiming for ultimate comfort. The cabin is decked out in a new “Cloud Rose Brown” color scheme, with a stunning 4.2-meter panel of Ayous wood sweeping across the dashboard. It’s a warm, inviting space, accented with just the right amount of chrome.
But the real showstoppers are the features. Xpeng is talking about “AI-powered” aviation-grade reading lights that mimic natural light. The second-row gets independent zero-gravity seats complete with leg rests, massage, ventilation, and heating. To top it off, there’s even a refrigerator tucked under the center console. This isn’t just a car, it’s a first-class travel experience for the whole family.
The EREV Powertrain: No More Range Anxiety
The X9 EREV runs on Xpeng’s Kunpeng Super Range Extension technology. Here’s what that means in simple terms: a peppy 210 kW (282 hp) electric motor drives the rear wheels, giving you that instant, silent acceleration we love in EVs. For daily driving, the 63.3 kWh battery provides over 450 km of pure electric range, which is more than enough for most commutes.
For longer journeys, a super-efficient 1.5T engine kicks in, not to power the wheels, but to act as a generator for the battery. Paired with a 60-liter fuel tank, this setup delivers a massive 1,602 km of total range. The system is a type of EREV (Extended-Range Electric Vehicle), offering a perfect bridge for those not quite ready to go full electric. Plus, with its 800V platform and 5C charging capability, the battery can be juiced up incredibly quickly when you do plug in.
Land Aircraft Carrier on the Move
The exterior styling lives up to Xpeng’s ambitious “Land Aircraft Carrier” design philosophy. The front features the brand’s signature X-Robot Face 2.0, giving it an assertive and futuristic look. A new cyan paint option adds a fresh, modern vibe.
One neat little touch is the blue light on the rear, which signals when the advanced driving assistance system is active. It’s a subtle but clear way of communicating the car’s high-tech capabilities to others on the road. As Chinese automakers from BYD to Xpeng push further into the premium minivan segment, these kinds of thoughtful details are what set them apart.
