XPeng has opened German orders for its three-row G9L electric SUV, starting at €74,600 including 19% VAT. The company’s October 12, 2026 German launch announcement targets initial customer deliveries in December and identifies Magna’s Graz plant in Austria as the European production location.

Three configurations, one battery size

German launch versionSeatsPowerClaimed WLTP rangeStarting price
RWD Long Range Ultra7270 kWUp to 591 km€74,600
AWD Performance Ultra7430 kWUp to 553 km€79,600
AWD Performance Ultra6430 kWUp to 553 km€85,600

All three listed versions use a 110-kWh NCM battery. XPeng quotes an 800-volt architecture, peak DC charging of 540 kW and a 10–80% charge in under 12 minutes. It claims 0–100 km/h in 4.9 seconds for the AWD Performance.

The release labels its consumption figures as subject to final WLTP homologation. Range and charging numbers are manufacturer claims, not results from a Chiefs Review test. A peak charging rating also does not mean the battery accepts that power throughout a charging session.

Software timing is a separate question

XPeng’s global release, published October 14 with an October 12 event dateline, describes European demonstration rides of its Next Generation Pilot system. It also lists a French starting price of €74,990; that is a different market quotation, not a replacement for the German price above.

The German release expects a later NGP update from 2027, subject to local rules and approval. Buyers should distinguish the hardware supplied with the car from software promised for later activation, and ask which functions will actually work at handover.

The immediate buying trade-off is clear: the rear-drive seven-seater has the longest claimed range and lowest price, while the six-seat cabin is tied to the more expensive AWD version. Check the local order sheet rather than assume specifications or delivery dates are identical across Europe.
