<p><img src="https://hawk-oss.hawkinsight.com//picture//202406/1189239544_80.jpg" style="width: 100%;">Recently, China's MPV market has undergone a major shift。Previously, it was mainly based on traditional diesel locomotives such as Buick GL8, Toyota Sienna, and Honda Odyssey. Now it includes pure electric MPVs such as Zeekr 009, Ideal Mega, and Xiaopeng X9.。Driving in China on Sunday this week, we will test Xiaopeng's first MPV X9 and evaluate its performance。-Advertising-Appointment for Test Drive I learned that a friend recently purchased Xiaopeng X9 MPV。As a test driver for CNC, I instinctively asked my friend Sunny why he chose this MPV。-Advertising-First impression The car tested this time is the top Xiaopeng X9 640 Performance Max (AWD), and the price is 419,800 yuan (57,980 USD)。Unlike the traditional MPV, the X9 has an elongated body profile with a front inclination angle of 21 degrees, a rear window inclination angle of 23 degrees, and a drag coefficient of up to 0.227 Cd。It has a closed front grille with hexagonal honeycomb panels。Diamond headlights integrated in the bumper。"Unlike other electric cars, the forward-sensing camera is cleverly hidden under the front windshield," Sunny said proudly。Interior - advertising - cockpit continues Xiaopeng G6 design language, adding a sense of luxury。It's a mix of suede, leather and wood。Both sides of the dual-spoke steering wheel are equipped with control devices, and 10.The 25-inch digital instrument cluster is located at the top.。The center console is equipped with a 17-inch floating touch screen, running Xiaopeng UI, and equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset, which can provide a seamless user experience。The second character includes dual zero-gravity seats with temperature adjustment, massage functions and adjustable leg support。The third role provides passengers with plenty of head and leg room。The X9 has a size of 5293 / 1988 / 1679 mm and a wheelbase of 3160 mm, which can comfortably accommodate 7 adults。< Figure e class = "wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex" > The car is equipped with adjustable angle retractable 21.4-inch TV and beverage containers that can be heated or cooled according to your preferences。In addition, it is also equipped with X-opera 23 speaker entertainment system, which can provide large sound stage, rich bass but lack of clarity。"The front seats are very comfortable," I noticed when I entered。"My wife complained that the co-pilot seat did not have a massage function.。Imagine being on a road trip: I was enjoying a massage while driving, and the kids in the back were enjoying a massage while watching a movie, but my wife didn't。Xiaopeng Motors should offer that option, "Sonny replied.。"The whole family had more fun in the X9 than my Honda Stepwgn.。The space is really big。Sunny laughed.。The cargo space for storing Xiaopeng X9 is 755 liters, and the rear seats are 2554 liters after folding。The rear seats can be folded flat on the car floor by electronic means, and the headrests can also be retracted by electronic means。It's a cool feature。Driving Xiaopeng X9 is undoubtedly a big car。However, the SEPA2 based on Xiaopeng Motors.0 (intelligent electric platform architecture) construction, with double wishbone front independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, X9 ride smoothly and comfortably。"The dashboard plus the sloping part of the front of the car is very long, making it difficult to see the distance ahead," Sonny said。The slender A-pillar provides a good view。sensitive steering response。With the help of four-wheel steering, the X9 has an impressive 5.4 meters turning radius, and can easily cross city streets and parking lots。For reference, Mini Cooper has a turning radius of 5.3m。On the highway, X9 keeps driving smoothly and quietly。Front motor 235kW, rear motor 135kW, total power 370kW, torque 640N · m。Even with a weight of 2630 kg, the X9 has enough power to overtake and climb hills。Xiaopeng X9 can be in 5.0-100 km / h acceleration in 7 seconds。If there is a straight acceleration race in the MPV category, the X9 will beat the powerful Toyota Alphard 3.5 V6 (0 - 100 km / h only 8.3 seconds)。In addition, the X9 has a much lower operating cost。"Let me show you Xiaopeng's XNGP advanced driver assistance system。Sunny said eagerly.。That's the main reason I chose the X9.。XNGP does not rely heavily on high-precision maps, but on its cameras and sensors.。We let autopilot systems take over busy suburban roads in Zhuhai, China。Soon after, we passed a bus stop on the right and a bus began to move。X9 slows down a lot when detecting large objects。During driving, X9 can accurately detect objects around the car, so that it can adjust the speed and change lanes accordingly。Sometimes X9 makes radical lane changes, Ely.。X9 drivers must be aware that certain road conditions may make the XNGP system hesitant。These include turning around, driving off the highway, fast cars coming from behind, and turning right (when traffic lights are not applicable)。When the lane centering control (LCC) is activated, the car will send a takeover signal to the driver。Test when X9 is running on XOS 5.1.0.On 8906。Xiaopeng Auto claims that its end-to-end large model has undergone more than 1 billion kilometers of video data, 6.46 million kilometers of real tests and 2.1.6 billion kilometers of simulated test training。Xiaopeng's goal is that by the third quarter of this year, its XNGP will cover all of China, providing urban autonomous driving experience for users around the world。By 2025, it will be comparable to the acclaimed highway autopilot.。Back in the parking lot, we pulled over。Sunny made some choices on the touch screen, and the X9 started driving itself again。"The car has recorded the path to my parking space and will now go there.。Valet parking system will also light up when turning。"Sunny explained。Battery cruising range The CLTC cruising range of Xiaopeng X9 640 Performance Max (AWD) is 640 kilometers, and the actual cruising range is 510 kilometers。Safety function Safety cage: adopts aluminum die-cast body structure, the safety cage is made of 2000 MPa steel, which meets global safety standards. Collision safety: 19-channel annular safety design, which meets international safety standards 2.Level 5 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS): Including Autono Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) and Automatic Parking Assist (APA) 4 Conclusion During the test drive, we parked the car on the side of the road。In the second role, Sonny and I relax in the zero gravity seat。Massage chair tilted, legs propped up, air conditioning on to watch Godzilla vs. King Kong。For a traditional ICE MPV, it would be a guilt。I can only imagine how happy the Sunnys are with the X9。I learned something from this test drive。When choosing a n family car, the emphasis is on "family"。While Sunny loves his technology and looks forward to his next OTA update, the wife and kids should equally enjoy the entertainment and ride quality the car may offer.。Xiaopeng X9 is the starship that Sunny chooses to carry his family on a new adventure。Stay tuned for China Auto News next week's Sunday China Driving, you can get more comments on China's electric cars from the first-person perspective。</p>
