The XPENG G9L is not only designed for the Chinese market.
XPENG says development and testing lasted approximately three years, covering 26 countries and regions, with cumulative testing exceeding 6.74 million kilometers.
The vehicle was also developed to comply with more than 3,000 regulatory requirements across 64 countries and regions.
This global-development strategy is important because the G9L is expected to become part of XPENG's international product lineup.
XPENG G9L Exterior Design: A New Interpretation of the Large Five-Seat SUV
XPENG G9L Dimensions and 3,100mm Wheelbase
The XPENG G9L measures:
-
Length: 5,120mm
-
Width: 1,999mm
-
Height: 1,782mm
-
Wheelbase: 3,100mm
The large body and long wheelbase give the G9L a substantial road presence while allowing XPENG to concentrate the available space on the first and second rows.
Unlike many large SUVs that use additional body length to accommodate a third row, the G9L remains a dedicated five-seat model.
That means the 3,100mm wheelbase can be used primarily for:
-
First-row comfort
-
Second-row legroom
-
Seat adjustment
-
Interior flexibility
-
Cargo capacity
Sporty Fastback Styling With a Premium SUV Proportion

Sporty fastback body shape
-
Integrated floating lightweight rear spoiler
-
Large 22-inch wheels
-
Wide-body stance
-
Premium lighting design
The result is a vehicle that attempts to balance the visual presence of a large luxury SUV with a more youthful and aerodynamic appearance.

XPENG G9L Interior Space: A True Large Five-Seat SUV
One-Button Bed Mode for the First and Second Rows
The 3,100mm wheelbase gives XPENG enough room to create multiple seating configurations.
The first and second rows can be converted into a flat resting surface with a one-button operation.
Importantly, users do not need to:
-
Remove the front headrests
-
Repeatedly adjust the front seats
-
Manually perform multiple complicated steps
This makes the system more practical for road trips and overnight rest.
Simultaneous Zero-Gravity Relaxation for Front and Rear Passengers
The G9L can also allow front and rear zero-gravity seats to recline simultaneously.
This means multiple family members can relax at the same time rather than having only one premium passenger seat.
For long-distance travel, this can significantly improve the overall passenger experience.
1,152L Trunk and 230L Underfloor Storage
Cargo capacity is another major advantage.
The XPENG G9L provides:
-
1,152L trunk capacity
-
230L underfloor storage
XPENG says that even with five passengers onboard, the vehicle can accommodate up to 14 20-inch suitcases.
This makes the G9L suitable for:
-
Family vacations
-
Airport trips
-
Camping
-
Outdoor adventures
-
Long-distance road trips
The underfloor storage area is especially useful for charging cables, tools, emergency equipment, and smaller items that owners prefer to keep hidden.
XPENG G9L Electric Performance: BEV and Super EREV Powertrains
Pure Electric Version With Up to 755km CLTC Range
The XPENG G9L offers a pure electric powertrain for customers who prioritize efficiency and zero-emission driving.
