XPeng is set to introduce the G9L in Thailand on November 11, bringing the large electric SUV to Southeast Asia after its reveal in China in August. Thailand’s launch is confirmed for the battery-electric version; the range-extended variant offered in China has not been confirmed for the Thai market. The article also identifies the G9L as a likely candidate for XPeng’s previously announced Malaysian model pipeline, though no local launch date is given.
International versions come in six- or seven-seat layouts and use a 110-kWh NMC battery. The rear-wheel-drive model makes 367 PS and 465 Nm, reaches 100 km/h in seven seconds and is rated for up to 591 km of WLTP range. The all-wheel-drive version produces 585 PS and 695 Nm, completes the same sprint in 4.9 seconds and has a claimed range of 551 km. Both have an 800-volt system, with DC charging rated at up to 540 kW; XPeng says a 10-to-80% charge takes 12 minutes.
At 5,120 mm long, the G9L is substantially larger than the G9, with a 3,100-mm wheelbase. Its standard equipment includes air suspension and rear-wheel steering. The report says ASEAN-market cars are expected to be shipped from China, while European-bound examples will be built by Magna Steyr in Austria. XPeng has also said its VLA 2.0 driver-assistance system is due in Malaysia within two years. The company previously indicated that the G9L and two Mona-brand EVs would reach Malaysia this year, but the article notes that the timing now appears uncertain.
