Verdict
The RM121,125 gap is substantial: the Xpeng G6 costs RM159,948, while the Xpeng X9 is RM281,073. For a Malaysian buyer needing seven seats and a 721-litre boot, the X9’s 3,160-mm wheelbase, air suspension and rear-axle steering justify its purpose-built MPV brief. It also carries a 94.8-kWh battery for 535 km and accepts 537 kW DC charging. The five-seat G6 is the sharper value choice, however, with a 6.94-second 0-100 km/h time against 8.2 seconds and a far smaller 4,758-mm body for daily use.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if five seats, a RM121,125 lower purchase price and quicker 6.94-second acceleration matter more than MPV space.
Pick the Xpeng X9 if you need seven seats, a 721-litre boot, 535 km of range and the added comfort hardware of air suspension.
