Details of Xpeng’s upcoming X9 REEV (range-extended electric vehicle) have been revealed by China’s ministry of industry and data technology (MIIT) ahead of the MPV’s launch within the fourth quarter of this yr.
The Chinese carmaker had previously teased the arrival of X9 REEV on Weibo, claiming greater than 1,000 test vehicles had travelled to twenty countries and 330 cities around the globe over 800 days, accumulating greater than 20 million km of test mileage. Those test vehicles featured ‘450’ on their doors, suggesting this to be the X9 REEV’s pure electric cruising range.
Referring to the MIIT filing, the X9 REEV measures 5,316 mm long, 1,988 mm wide, 1,785 mm tall and has a wheelbase of three,160 mm. That makes it barely longer than the regular X9 EV that’s 5,293 mm long, with all other dimensions being the identical.
As for the powertrain, the two,750-kg X9 REEV is alleged to have top speed of 180 km/h and have a 1.5 litre engine developing 150 PS (148 hp or 110 kW) as its range extender. It’s going to be equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries supplied by CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery).
Set to change into Xpeng’s first hybrid model, with the powertrain likely being the Kunpeng Super Electric System that was revealed eventually yr’s AI Day. That is claimed to deliver an all-electric range of 430 km and a combined 1,400 km with the range extender in play. Support for 5C charging enables the battery to get from a 10-80% state of charge in as little as 12 minutes.
