Verdict
The RM121,125 gap separates two very different jobs. The Xpeng G6 is the sharper-value five-seat SUV: its 248 hp rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 6.94 seconds, ahead of the X9’s 8.2 seconds, while its 4,758 mm length is far easier to place in town. Pay RM281,073 for the Xpeng X9 and you get a seven-seat MPV with 721 litres of boot space, a 94.8 kWh battery and 535 km of range. Its air suspension, rear-axle steering and captain seats make sense only if carrying people is the priority.
G6
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want the RM159,948 entry point, quicker 6.94-second acceleration and a more manageable five-seat SUV.
X9
Pick the Xpeng X9 if you need seven seats, 721 litres of boot space and the longer 535 km electric range.
