XPeng has set August 11, 2026, for the global debut of its G9L large SUV in Guangzhou, with pre-sales opening the same evening at 7:00 p.m. Beijing time (7:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern), according to a Monday post on the company’s Weibo account reported by CNEVPost. The five-seat model is positioned as a technology flagship aimed at China’s roughly 300,000-yuan segment and, in XPeng’s wording, at export markets—making it the latest in a string of “global” nameplates after the GX and Mona L03.
Trade coverage from CarNewsChina and New Mobility News, drawing on earlier homologation filings, describes the G9L as a battery-electric crossover roughly 5,120 mm long on a 3,100 mm wheelbase—about 198 mm longer than a BMW X5 (G05). Dual-motor all-wheel drive is listed at a combined 430 kW (577 hp), with a cited top speed of 200 km/h. XPeng emphasizes an 800-volt electrical architecture that it says can restore about 450 km of range in nine minutes; those charging figures should be treated as manufacturer claims until independent testing confirms them.
The G9L is also expected to offer an extended-range electric variant pairing a 1.5-liter turbo generator with a 63.3 kWh LFP pack, continuing XPeng’s dual powertrain strategy for buyers who want battery-first driving with backup generation. On software, outlets note second-generation Vision-Language-Action (VLA) hardware with four in-house “Turing” chips and Navigate-on-Autopilot-style urban assistance—features that remain pre-production until retail trims and homologation lists spell out what ships in each market.
For shoppers comparing XPeng’s SUV portfolio on getevcar.com, the G9L sits above compact offerings such as the G7 and alongside people-movers like the X9 in the electric SUV category. XPeng delivered about 38,000 vehicles globally in July 2026, CNEVPost reported—modest year-on-year growth but a sequential dip—so a well-priced flagship SUV could matter for momentum into the second half of the year.
