KYLE & DREW VISIT XPENG BRAND NIGHT IN HONG KONG! NEW X9 UNVEIL + FLYING CAR

EV Channels Review

XPeng's brand night in Hong Kong showcased the updated X9, revealing significant under-the-skin improvements rather than just a styling refresh. The 2025 X9 boasts a completely revised suspension for enhanced comfort, a significantly quieter cabin due to NVH upgrades, more power, and faster 5C charging capabilities, reaching up to 400 kW. While the exterior styling remains largely unchanged, the interior and technological advancements are substantial. The event also highlighted XPeng's future ambitions, including a flying car prototype and in-house chip development, though the practicality of the flying car remains speculative. The reviewers expressed a mixed reaction to XPeng's design language across their lineup, finding some models unattractive while praising others like the G9 and Mona. Despite design critiques, the technical and software capabilities are acknowledged as strong points, with a notable partnership with Volkswagen for the Chinese market.
