XPENG X9 Review: A Smart Family Car That Is the MVP of MPVs

Published 2 days ago4 minute read

Let’s be honest when you think of a family car, “fun,” “futuristic,” and “luxurious” probably aren’t the first words that come to mind. But the XPENG X9 is here to change that. With its innovative features, seamless technology, and a whole lot of comfort for all ages sprinkled in, this smart family car doesn’t just meet the needs of modern family life it elevates them. 

XPENG has built its brand around innovation, and the X9 doesn’t disappoint. Its intelligent voice control, activated through the “Hey XPENG” command, can turn on the AC, start a massage, or open the sunshade. Whether you’re carrying groceries, holding a child, or just want a hands-free experience, it’s right there with you.

The XPENG mobile app takes things further with remote access to key vehicle functions — including cabin pre-conditioning. 

Despite its generous size, the X9 handles like a much smaller car thanks to its active rear-wheel steering system. With a turning radius of just 5.4 meters, navigating tight carpark ramps or making U-turns on narrow roads becomes stress-free.

It’s the kind of agility that city-driving families will deeply appreciate — especially when you’ve got a full car and a tight school drop-off zone ahead.

The X9’s 21.4” infotainment system is also a standout feature. It supports mobile device casting, Nintendo Switch connectivity, and media streaming – turning long car rides into an enjoyable multimedia experience for kids and adults alike. 

And with a premium 23-speaker Xopera sound system, the in-car entertainment setup rivals that of home theatres, making the X9 a true “cinema on wheels.” Or if your family enjoys singing, a carpool karaoke maybe.

Whether you’re heading to East Coast Park or planning a weekend road trip up north, the XPENG X9 has you covered with a driving range of up to 590km on a full charge (FWD Long Range model). That’s ample distance for city driving and cross-border adventures — with no range anxiety.

With 755L of boot space that expands to 2,544L when the rear seats are folded flat, the X9 is ready for everything, all with a touch of a button! From grocery runs to weekend cycling adventures. Parents will appreciate the one-touch ability to transport bulkier items like strollers, scooters, or even bicycles, with the convenient third row entry and exit space. 

The XPENG X9 is also serious about delivering family comfort and convenience. Once you step inside, you’ll feel the kind of comfort typically reserved for home. That’s thanks to the ten-point massage functions and ventilation in the front and second-row seats. When you’re driving home after a long day, especially in peak-hour traffic, just turn on the massage feature and feel a bit of relaxation.

Its intelligent dual chamber air suspension smooths out every bump on the road, so the baby can nap, grandma can rest, and mum or dad can enjoy a moment of zen.

Another thoughtful addition for long drives or weekend getaways is the built-in refrigerator with both heating and cooling functions. Whether it’s keeping milk bottles warm for your little one, chilled drinks for the kids, or leftovers just right after a family dinner out — it’s a feature that makes family drives that much easier. Hungry toddler? Warm milk on the way. Ice cream emergency? Crisis averted.

Safety is paramount for families, and the XPENG X9’s Autonomous Driving Assistance System (ADAS) ensures peace of mind. It includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering Control, reducing driver fatigue on longer drives or during rush-hour traffic. These smart systems make highway travel more intuitive and relaxing, especially for parents juggling noisy back seats.

From its innovative features to its thoughtful, family-focused design, the XPENG X9 is more than just a way to get from Point A to Point B. It’s the vehicle that grows with your family, adapts to your needs, and turns everyday drives into moments of connection, comfort, and convenience.

Whether you’re a young family navigating preschool pickups or a multi-generational household planning that long-awaited roadtrip, this MPV is your MVP in making your life on the road easier—and a lot more enjoyable.

XPENG is now offering test drives in Singapore – an opportunity to see how the X9 fits into your family’s daily rhythm. So if you’re looking for a smart family car that can handle anything, from daily school runs to family road trips, this is the time.
