Fresh from its Malaysian market launch earlier this week, the Xpeng X9 facelift will be on public display at the 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026) at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur, from June 12 to 21, 2026.
In Malaysia, three variants of the X9 facelift are available from the outset. The line-up starts with the X9 2WD Standard Range at RM281,073, joined by the X9 2WD Long Range at RM299,073, before topping out at the X9 AWD Performance at RM335,573; all prices are on-the-road without insurance.
All three variants are offered with optional home chargers; either a 7 kW AC charger (single-phase with installation) at RM4,300, or an 11 kW AC charger (three-phase with installation) at RM5,000.
The 2WD Standard Range gets a 94.8 KWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that is rated for up to 537 km of range on the WLTP testing standard, while the 2WD Long Range and AWD Performance both receive a 110 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery, for 615 km (WLTP) and 580 km (WLTP) respectively.
Fast charging via DC is significantly stepped up compared to the pre-facelift, with the updated model now from 537 kW for the 2WD Standard Range, while the 2WD Long Range and AWD Performance with the larger battery goes even higher with 542 kW DC charging; all variants therefore attain the 10-80% recharge in 12 minutes.
Both 2WD versions get a 346 PS/450 Nm single-motor setup driving the front wheels, with the Standard Range doing 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds; the Long Range is marginally quicker at 7.75 seconds. The dual-motor AWD Performance boasts of 537 PS and 640 Nm, propelling the MPV to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.

The second row in the AWD Performance gets upgraded to a more luxurious “Grand Sofa” specification, offering 18-way adjustment. Across all variants are two 50-watt air-cooled wireless device chargers, along with seat cushion and backrest ventilation and heating (three-speed adjustable).
The third row offers 60:40 split-folding, where the seats fold into the floor, and also offer electrically adjustable backrests and headrests, and two cupholders. Also included in the luggage compartment is a switch to raise or lower the vehicle on its suspension.
