Xpeng is not your typical Chinese brand as it’s not interested in bargain pricing nor cheap cars; instead, it wants to be a premium brand, right up there with Audi and BMW. A case in point? This massive G9 all-electric SUV, which packs in all the luxury and premium-feel you can shake a leather-lined stick at, with a choice of standard- or long-range models, and a high-performance all-wheel-drive version too. The battery can in theory charge at a staggering 525kW on DC power. It’s big and handsome, but it won’t actually arrive in Ireland for a bit yet.
