China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)’s latest auto catalogue revealed the upcoming XPeng G9L’s battery and range specs, about a month after the model was first filed with the agency.
The May filing had disclosed the model’s dimensions and powertrain configurations.
The large SUV — positioned between the G9 and the GX — will be available in both battery electric (BEV) and extended-range (EREV) versions.
BEV trims offer up to 805 km (500 miles) of CLTC range, while the extended-range variants deliver 325 to 350 km (201-217 miles) of pure-electric driving.
The fully electric trims will use 91.9 kWh or 110 kWh battery packs in both ternary (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries.
Rear-wheel-drive models are powered by a single 270 kW motor, while the all-wheel-drive versions pair a 160 kW front motor with the 270 kW rear unit.
The EREV variants use the DAM15NTE 1.5-liter turbocharged range extender rated at 110 kW — the same unit found in XPeng‘s G7 and X9 hybrid models.
The RWD EREV trims run a 210 kW motor, while the AWD adds a 160 kW front unit.
All EREV versions carry a 63.3 kWh LFP battery supplied by CALB.
From G9 to G9L to GX
XPeng now fields three large SUV nameplates, each targeting a distinct buyer.
The G9, a mid-to-large BEV-only five-seater measuring 4,891 mm on a 2,998 mm wheelbase, remains the most compact of the three.
GX, the brand’s first flagship three-row model, stretches to 5,265 mm on a 3,115 mm wheelbase and seats six in a 2+2+2 captain-chair layout.
Both BEV and EREV powertrains are offered.
G9L occupies the space in between — at 5,120 mm long and 1,999 mm wide on a 3,100 mm wheelbase, the SUV is 229 mm longer than the G9 and gains 102 mm of wheelbase — yet remains 145 mm shorter than the GX.
All three share the same 1,999 mm width.
Deutsche Bank described the G9L as a “sister product” to the GX in a late-May research note.
Due to its increased dimensions, the G9L is expected to be priced slightly above the current G9 SUV, which starts at 248,800 yuan ($36,700).
The GX, the brand’s current range-topper, sells for 269,800 ($39,800) to 349,800 yuan ($51,700) after its launch discount — which expires June 30.
The six-seat flagship secured 24,863 firm orders within 12 hours of going on sale — a result founder and CEO He Xiaopeng said surpassed his own expectations.
Delivery wait times for the flagship BEV trim have since stretched to over 30 weeks.
Five-Seat Battlefield
XPeng‘s differentiator could come from the dual BEV/EREV powertrain offering, as well as the brand’s VLA 2.0 autonomous driving system.
Competitors in the segment include the recently launched, fully electric Onvo L80 and Li Auto‘s L8 model, which is extended-range only.
Onvo debuted the L80 — a five-seater sharing the L90 platform — on May 15. The model is priced from 242,800 yuan ($35,900).
The L80 measures 5,145 mm on a 3,110 mm wheelbase, making it dimensionally close to the G9L.
Additionally, Onvo‘s Battery-as-a-Service option brings the entry price as low as 156,800 yuan for buyers who lease the 85 kWh pack.
Li Auto is set to launch an updated L8 on June 23 — a model that drops the current six-seat layout in favor of five seats to avoid internal overlap with the flagship L9.
The new L8 grows to 5,135 mm long and 2,000 mm wide on dimensions close to the G9L’s, with the current generation starting at 321,800 yuan.
Q2 Guidance
The Guangzhou-based automaker guided second-quarter deliveries of 100,000 to 106,000 vehicles — a sharp sequential jump from the first quarter’s 62,682 units.
Revenue guidance of 19.60 billion to 20.80 billion yuan implies a 50% to 60% quarter-over-quarter increase, with the faster revenue growth pointing to a richer product mix as higher-priced models such as the GX make up a larger share of sales.
For the full year, the company is targeting 550,000 to 600,000 deliveries, a 28% to 40% increase over the 429,445 vehicles delivered in 2025.
Through May, XPeng had delivered 125,851 vehicles, leaving the company needing to achieve roughly three-quarters of its full-year target in the remaining seven months of 2026 — a ramp the G9L is expected to help support.
The demand jump is also expected to be supported by upcoming models in the cheaper Mona series.
Monday’s MIIT catalogue included the Mona L05 — a mid-size SUV expanding XPeng‘s mass-market sub-brand beyond the M03 sedan and the upcoming L03 compact crossover.
BEV versions carry a 71.1 kWh LFP battery with CLTC range of 615 to 660 km across four variants. EREV trims use a 37.2 kWh battery delivering 237 to 253 km of pure-electric range.
Dealers have told Deutsche Bank that both the L05 and L03 are planned for the second half of 2026.
