Verdict
For a Malaysian family covering long intercity distances, the RM18,000 dearer Xpeng X9 is the one to buy: its 110 kWh battery lifts claimed range from 535 km to 615 km, while 0-100 km/h falls from 8.2 to 7.75 seconds. The cheaper Xpeng X9 keeps the same 315 hp, 450 Nm, seven seats, air suspension and extensive cabin kit, so it is not a stripped-out choice. But the larger battery is the meaningful upgrade here.
2WD Standard Range
Pick the Xpeng X9 if RM18,000 saved matters more than an extra 80 km of claimed range.
2WD Long Range
Pick the Xpeng X9 if you regularly make long trips and want the 110 kWh battery’s 615 km claimed range.
