The G9 is the first Chinese car to feature 800V architecture. This means that it can supposedly put on 130 kilometers (81 miles) of range in just five minutes using a 480-kW charger.
While I couldn’t test the self-driving features, I did get to test some of the other tech. One new feature on the G9 is what XPeng callsmultimedia experience. First off, the Dolby Atmos–enabled sound system has 28 speakers buried around the vehicle, including in the front seats. These work together with the air vents and the fragrance dispenser in the center compartment to give a sensory experience.
Voice control works from any seat and can even deal with commands from different seats simultaneously—unlike the system in Tesla, which, in my experience, does a very good job of transcribing speech but not such a good job of taking any action. The XPeng system, at least in Mandarin, does things.
