The Smart #1 can achieve fast charging speeds of up to 150 kW. We expect the range of Smart #1 to be closer to 450+ km under the WLTP cycle. Meanwhile, in Australia, the same model is 491 km, based on the European WLTP range test. The Smart #1 will sit around 450+ km of range using the WLTP standard.įor a quick comparison of range, Tesla says the Model 3 in China has 556 km of range, based on the CLTC rating standard. The official range figure in China where customer deliveries have begun stands at 560 km on the CLTC cycle.

“With the new hardware and software architecture driven by closed-loop data, XPENG developed an enhanced Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB) active safety function on the E and X versions of G9.450+ km of WLTP range expected from 66 kWh battery Technological advancements and algorithmic iterations coupled with higher computing power elevate the performance of XPILOT’s existing ADAS functions that include ACC, LCC, VPA (Valet Parking Assist), and Highway NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot). Here’s a bit more on the semi-autonomous driving assistance features on the G9: “XPENG’s first-generation ADAS, XPILOT, comes standard on the E version of G9. This, to my eyes, is getting to some serious level 3 autonomous driving territory, or level 4 if the system is good enough! It will still use them where it has them, since they add an extra layer of information and support, but they will no longer be necessary.

Within Guangzhou, based on an answer to my question today, CNGP can drive more or less everywhere it’s legal to drive.) The plan is that in about a year, XNGP will no longer rely on high-definition maps. (At the moment, CNGP is only available in Guangzhou. While CNGP is relying on high-definition maps, and is thus rolling out city by city as those maps are approved, XPeng notes that XNGP will no longer be reliant on those HD maps to drive from point A to point B in any given city - eventually. Some of our readers asked about the geofencing of XPeng’s CNGP in response to my last article on it, so I asked XPeng’s execs about that on the call today. G9 uses 31 sensors and a front-view camera for advanced object detection-its front-mounting dual-LiDAR sensors cover 180º, reducing the size of blind spots.” Here’s more on the hardware used for XNGP: “The X Version of G9 makes use of dual NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips which deliver 508 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of computing performance.

The G9 comes with XNGP, “industry-first full-scenario driver assistance.” I recently went on a 1-hour 7-minute virtual test drive in an XPeng vehicle using CNGP, the precursor to XNGP that was just launched on Monday in select XPeng vehicles, and found it to be stunning in how well it responds to anything thrown at it on the road and continues to drive smoothly and naturally, like a human who drives superbly. “We believe it will become the new benchmark for smart EVs, representing the last step before the realization of truly autonomous vehicles,” said He Xiaopeng, CEO and Chairman of XPeng, during G9’s online launch event. The G9 also includes what XPeng claims is the most advanced driver-assist suite on the market. The SUV is purposefully designed with an international perspective to meet the C-NCAP and E-NCAP five-star safety standards, as well as the stringent EU WVTA vehicle certification standards.” (No mention of the US safety system. “G9 has been designed for both the Chinese and international markets from the start. But will XPeng sell it abroad? Oh, yes, yes it will. It could also appeal to people in Europe, North America, Australia, and elsewhere, but we’re yet to see if XPeng or any other smart EV startup other than Tesla can break into these non-China markets to a significant degree. There’s no reason it shouldn’t outsell the Volkswagen ID.4 or some of the other vehicles higher up that list. Personally, though, I can’t help but believe the G9 has more potential demand than that. If you look at July sales in China (which accounts for about half the EV sales in the world), 10,000 registrations would make the G9 the 12th best selling plugin vehicle on the market.
