Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Xpeng X9 is a D-segment electric seven-seat MPV for families needing serious passenger capacity without leaving the EV market. The 2026 facelift arrives with front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive choices, battery capacities from 94.8 kWh to 110 kWh, and claimed range of up to 615 km. Prices start from RM281,073.

X9 in 2026 — what's new

The facelifted Xpeng X9 launches in Malaysia for 2026 as a seven-seat MPV in three variants: 2WD Standard Range, 2WD Long Range and AWD Performance. It brings front- or all-wheel drive, with WLTP range stretching to 615 km, while DC charging capability is rated at up to 542 kW. An air-suspension recall applies in Malaysia; affected owners receive an eight-year warranty on the replacement component.

Which variant to buy

The RM299,073 2WD Long Range is the sensible pick for most buyers. Its 110 kWh battery raises claimed range to 615 km while retaining the 315 hp front-wheel-drive setup of the RM281,073 2WD Standard Range, and the RM18,000 gap is easier to justify for regular long-distance use. Choose the RM335,573 AWD Performance only if 496 hp and all-wheel drive matter more than range; it has the same 110 kWh battery but a lower 580 km claim.

Verdict

The X9 brings a useful three-variant spread to the electric MPV market, with seven seats across the board and a 615 km maximum WLTP range. Its entry price sits above the Maxus MIFA 9 but below the Denza D9 and Zeekr 009 entry points, while the BYD M6 costs far less. The air-suspension recall deserves attention, though the replacement part carries an eight-year warranty for affected owners.
