Bermaz previews the Xpeng X9 electric MPV, competitor to Denza D9 and Zeekr 009

Bermaz Auto has showcased its new electric vehicle (EV) model, the Xpeng X9, which is set to launch this year.

The second EV model after the Xpeng G6, the Xpeng X9 is an all-electric minivan that offers a three-row seating configuration and is poised to compete with electric MPVs such as the Denza D9 and Zeekr 009.

In terms of dimensions, the Xpeng X9 measures 5,293 mm in length, 1,988 mm in width, 1,785 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 3,160 mm.

Currently, Bermaz has yet to finalize the specifications that will be offered for the Malaysian market.

However, the Xpeng X9 will be available in a front-wheel-drive version with an output of 315 hp, or an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version with an output of 500 hp.

There are two battery pack options: a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) 84.5 kWh battery with a range of 610 km (CLTC data), or a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) 101.5 kWh battery with a range of up to 702 km.

The Xpeng X9 platform also supports 800V fast charging, allowing for an addition of 300 km of range in just 10 minutes of charging.

Interior features include a 12.3-inch digital cluster display, a 17.3-inch infotainment screen, a 21.4-inch rear passenger screen, and rear passenger seats equipped with zero-gravity technology, heating, ventilation, and massage functions.

On the exterior, this electric MPV showcases a unique design, with a rear section featuring sharper and more angular shapes compared to most MPVs currently available on the market.
