XPeng X9 2026 Facelift: Upgraded Performance, Battery, Range, DC Charging
One of the biggest changes that XPeng has implemented on the X9 2026 facelift model for the Malaysian market is the inclusion of an all-wheel drive (AWD) variant.
The X9 2026 AWD Performance features a dual-motor setup that has a combined power output of 370kW (496hp) alongside 640Nm of torque. This allows the variant to hit 0-100km/h in just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 200km/h.
On the other hand, the front-wheel drive (FWD) variant comes with a 235kW (315hp) motor that also produces 450Nm of torque. While the X9 FWD still has the same top speed of 200km/h, the FWD Long Range (LR) has a century sprint timing of 7.75 seconds – slightly quicker than the FWD Standard Range (SR) version, which takes 8.2 seconds to hit 0-100km/h.
Another major upgrade that XPeng has implemented on the X9 2026 facelift is a larger capacity battery. Specifically, the X9 FWD LR and AWD Performance come with a 110kWh NMC battery, while the X9 FWD SR receives a 94.8kWh LFP battery.
The new battery has also increased the MPV’s range – XPeng claimed that the FWD LR variant can deliver up to 615km of WLTP-rated range. As for the FWD SR and AWD Performance, their WLTP range is listed as 535km and 580km, respectively.
The newly facelifted X9 also offers improved DC charging speed. While the pre-facelift version is already quite fast at up to 317kW, the 2026 model pushes it further up to 537kW (FWD SR) / 542kW (FWD LR and AWD).
The improved DC charging speed helps reduce the X9’s 10% – 80% charging duration from 20 minutes to 12 minutes. That being said, there is no DC charger in Malaysia that can hit such a high speed at the moment.
Meanwhile, the 2026 X9’s AC charging speed still maxes out at 11kW, which is similar to its predecessor. It takes around 11 hours to fully charge the FWD LR and AWD Performance variants, while the FWD SR’s AC charging time is 9.5 hours.
XPeng X9 2026 Facelift: Changes to Exterior, Interiors, Tech
While X9’s futuristic physical outline remained the same, XPeng has made some changes to the MPV’s exterior aesthetics. This includes a more streamlined front fascia together with a minor design tweak for its rear bumper.
The facelifted X9 also comes with new soft-close front doors, “ultra fiber” steering wheel, and a 27-speaker X-Opera audio system. The 2026 edition is also the first XPeng model in Malaysia to feature the company’s Turing AI chipset, which is powering the MPV’s XPilot Assist ADAS suite, while there is also a separate Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip for the Xmart OS infotainment system.
