Details of Xpeng’s upcoming X9 REEV (range-extended electric vehicle) have been revealed by China’s ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT) ahead of the MPV’s launch in the fourth quarter of this year.
The Chinese carmaker had previously teased the arrival of X9 REEV on Weibo, claiming more than 1,000 test vehicles had travelled to 20 countries and 330 cities around the world over 800 days, accumulating more than 20 million km of test mileage. Those test vehicles featured ‘450’ on their doors, suggesting this to be the X9 REEV’s pure electric cruising range.
Referring to the MIIT filing, the X9 REEV measures 5,316 mm long, 1,988 mm wide, 1,785 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 3,160 mm. That makes it slightly longer than the regular X9 EV that is 5,293 mm long, with all other dimensions being the same.
As for the powertrain, the 2,750-kg X9 REEV is said to have top speed of 180 km/h and feature a 1.5 litre engine developing 150 PS (148 hp or 110 kW) as its range extender. It will be equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries supplied by CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery).
Set to become Xpeng’s first hybrid model, with the powertrain likely being the Kunpeng Super Electric System that was revealed at last year’s AI Day. This is claimed to deliver an all-electric range of 430 km and a combined 1,400 km with the range extender in play. Support for 5C charging enables the battery to get from a 10-80% state of charge in as little as 12 minutes.
