XPeng Begins X9 Deliveries Across Seven European Markets

Chinese automaker XPeng announced on Tuesday that it has begun delivering its X9 MPV in Europe.

The model has landed in seven countries — including Germany, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary.

Earlier this year, XPeng also announced that the multi-purpose van would be arriving in the UK during the summer.

The X9 expands the company’s European portfolio, which currently consists of the G6 and G9 SUVs and the recently launched P7+ sedan, with customer deliveries for the latter starting earlier this month.

Germany and Norway

The X9 is available in three trims across Europe.

In Germany, the lineup starts at €77,600 ($89,900) for the FWD Standard Range, €81,600 ($94,600) for the FWD Long Range and €86,600 ($100,400) for the AWD Performance.

In Norway, where XPeng recently cut prices across its lineup by up to 15%, the X9 is listed from NOK 581,688 ($60,900) for the FWD Standard Range, NOK 622,305 ($65,100) for the FWD Long Range and NOK 661,648 ($69,300) for the AWD Performance.

Prices in Norway are significantly lower as the country is not part of the European Union — and therefore is not subject to the EU’s additional tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicle imports.

In both Germany, Europe’s largest auto market, and Norway, the company has seen sales jump over the past months.

May marked a third consecutive monthly sales record in Germany for the brand.

In Norway, XPeng recently surpassed 10,000 cumulative deliveries, doubling its total in a single year.

Specs and Cabin

The X9 is positioned for the premium family and business mobility market.

XPeng highlights the model as offering the most spacious seven-seat cabin in its class.

The MPV measures 5,293 mm in length with a 3,160 mm wheelbase. Seating follows a 2+2+3 layout with sliding doors for rear access.

All versions come standard with an 800-volt architecture and a 5C ultra-fast charging battery.

The entry-level FWD Standard Range uses a 94.8 kWh LFP battery and a 235 kW front-mounted motor, offering up to 535 km of WLTP range, while the FWD Long Range upgrades to a 110 kWh NMC battery, extending range to 615 km.

The range-topping AWD Performance pairs that larger battery with dual motors producing a combined 370 kW (503 hp) and 640 Nm of torque.

According to XPeng, the model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.

Range Test in Norway

The MPV recently delivered standout results in the Norwegian Automobile Federation’s (NAF) El Prix test — widely regarded as the world’s largest independent real-world evaluation of electric vehicles.

Among 24 vehicles tested, the X9 achieved both the highest positive deviation from its official WLTP range and the fastest charging time in the entire field.

The model covered 646 km on a single charge — 11.4% above its official WLTP figure — despite temperatures dropping to -30°C during the test, and completed a 20% to 80% charge in just 10 minutes.

The overall longest-range record among production electric vehicles continues to be held by the Lucid Air Grand Touring, which has led the NAF range test in both its summer and winter editions of 2025.

China Sales

In China, the X9 MPV is priced from 309,800 yuan ($45,800) and tops out at 369,800 yuan.

The model accounted for 2,153 vehicles in the total of 32,158 vehicles delivered by XPeng last month across all its markets, a share of 6.7%.

The brand offers the X9 in both battery electric and extended-range electric (EREV) versions — the latter being the brand’s first model to feature a hybrid powertrain.

XPeng also launched the third-generation, fully electric X9 in China earlier this year.

Founder He Xiaopeng has previously indicated the company is considering bringing the hybrid X9 to some EU countries, though no timeline has been confirmed.

Only the fully electric version is currently available in Europe.

Under EU trade rules, extended-range electric vehicles face the same tariff structure as fully battery electric imports from China — unlike plug-in hybrids, which are exempt from the duties.

The company has not confirmed the launch of the extended range variant in Europe.

Local Assembly

Several Chinese automakers have pursued local European production and plug-in hybrid exports as strategies to mitigate the tariff burden.

XPeng currently assembles the G6, G9 and P7+ at Magna Steyr’s plant in Graz, Austria.

The company recently disclosed that a fourth model would begin European assembly soon, though it did not specify which vehicle.

The addition could be the X9 or a model from XPeng‘s more affordable Mona lineup, which He Xiaopeng confirmed for the European market during the 2025 IAA Auto Show in Munich.

Recently, a XPeng executive in Europe revealed that Magna Steyr’s capacity is insufficient to meet growing European demand, saying that the automaker is in early-stage discussions with Volkswagen about a potential second manufacturing location on the continent.

XPeng is targeting between 550,000 and 600,000 global deliveries in 2026 and aims to double its overseas sales from last year’s 45,008 units.

The company delivered 22,787 vehicles in Europe in 2025, a 126% year-over-year increase.
