I am Used To Driving Tesla Model Y, and Then Drive Xpeng G9, The Owner: One is Bragging, The Other is Real

When I was preparing to buy an electric car last year, my family and friends recommended me to support domestic brands, and let me choose between BYD, Xiaopeng, Weilai, Ideal and other brands. To be honest, I was not optimistic about domestic brands at the time. , so I went around and finally chose the Tesla Model Y. Perhaps it was the image of Tesla’s overseas luxury brand that was deeply ingrained in the early years, or maybe it was the performance of Model Y that moved me. All in all, I am still quite satisfied. My own choice, because the gas price this year has risen a lot compared to last year, Model Y saved me a lot of fuel costs, in addition, it also gave me a good car experience, such as Yan High value, strong sense of technology, fast acceleration, etc., the only dissatisfying point may be that the sunroof of the car is a little sun-dried, and the smell is a bit strong after exposure, but other aspects are deeply in my heart.

Not long ago, a colleague with a good relationship chatted with me and said that he planned to switch to an electric car to drive, so I recommended Model Y to it, and he said he would go for a test drive after hearing it. But unexpectedly, three days later, what he drove was not the Model Y, but the latest Xpeng G9 launched by Xpeng Motors. After seeing it, I was a little surprised. Since I chose electric vehicles, Tesla is undoubtedly the best choice. , Domestic production is definitely not as good as Tesla in terms of technology. After hearing my doubts about him, my colleagues told me that before choosing Xiaopeng G9, he has tested many models, such as Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID .6X, ideal one, Mercedes-Benz EQC, BMW ix3, etc., the final feeling can only be regarded as average. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is really not as good as Xiaopeng G9, and Xiaopeng G9 also has a "unique skill", which perfectly solves the problem. The biggest problem with electric vehicles today. In this way, his remarks successfully aroused my curiosity and competitiveness, so I discussed with him to change it for a few days to try.

When I saw the Xpeng G9 for the first time, my first feeling was that this car is really big, with a length of 4891mm, a width of 1937mm, a height of 1680mm, and a wheelbase of 2998mm, which is a circle larger than my Tesla Model Y (4750mm*1921mm*1624mm). It belongs to a medium and large SUV, which also makes it even better in terms of external aura, which must be admitted. In terms of internal space performance, there is one thing to say, the space of Model Y is not bad, and there is no pressure to satisfy 5 people traveling, but there is no harm without comparison. Due to the size, the interior space of Xiaopeng G9 is more spacious, especially It is the rear row, you can easily raise your legs, and you can also "Ge You Lie", which is not experienced on Model Y, and the seat design is wider than Model Y, and it is also fuller and thicker, with materials and texture There must be certain advantages in all aspects.

At the same time, the front seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. I have personally experienced them, and they are really comfortable. Compared with the massage seats that cost 20 yuan in shopping malls, the shoulders and back cannot be massaged except for the legs. The waist and waist can be well taken care of, and the "manipulation" is relatively professional. It is very good to relax the body and mind during commuting or field trips, and can greatly relieve fatigue. In addition, the center console of the Xiaopeng G9 is equipped with three screens, namely the instrument panel, the center control screen, and the co-pilot entertainment screen. It looks more technological than the Model Y with only one screen in the center control, and the co-pilot entertainment The design of the screen is really considerate. My girlfriend often complains that sitting in the passenger seat is too boring. If you look down at your phone, you will get motion sickness easily. Having this screen will undoubtedly greatly enhance the fun of driving and make it easier to follow dramas. Another point worth mentioning is that the sound system of Xiaopeng G9 is very good. It is understood that the whole car is equipped with 28 acoustic units (including the original Dynaudio Confidence advanced sound system), with a total power of 2250W and supports 7.1.4 multi-sound The sound system and Dolby Atmos, whether listening to songs or watching dramas, restore the most realistic scene experience, which is commendable.

Of course, although Xiaopeng G9 has advantages in terms of space, comfort, entertainment, etc., I still prefer Model Y in my heart, because the car is a means of transportation, and the above factors are only part of the transportation process. The real important thing is power and battery life. , driving experience, etc., I think these points are definitely stronger than Model Y. But after two days of driving, the reality slapped me in the face. The dynamic performance of Xiaopeng G9 is also unmistakable, and it even greatly refreshed my understanding of electric vehicles. First of all, Xiaopeng G9 provides two power versions of single motor and dual motors. The single motor version chosen by friends has a maximum power of 230kw, a maximum horsepower of 313 horsepower, a peak torque of 430N.m, and an acceleration of 0-100 in 6.4 seconds. The Tesla Model Y I bought is also a single-motor version, with a maximum power of 194kw, a maximum horsepower of 264 horsepower, a peak torque of 340N. There is a slight advantage, so the dynamic performance of Xiaopeng G9 is better, and its acceleration experience is somewhat different from that of Model Y. It has the texture and delicate feeling of a fuel car when it accelerates. This is very subtle. Things, but many electric vehicles can not reach.

At the same time, Xiaopeng G9 also has a maximum endurance of 702km. My Model Y rear-wheel drive version is only 545km. Even the long-endurance all-wheel drive version has a maximum endurance of only 660km. The gap is still obvious. This is not the point. The point is that the Xpeng G9 is the first mass-produced car based on the 800V high-voltage SiC platform in China. It supports extremely fast charging. It has been tested. Using the 480kW supercharger built by Xpeng, it can last for 5 minutes after charging. 200+km, it can be charged to 80% in ten or twenty minutes, that is to say, it can reach a battery life of about 560km. What does this mean? It means that the charging has reached the speed of refueling, which perfectly solves the problem of long charging time and queuing up of charging piles. The kung fu battery is fully charged, so what else to worry about? Xiaopeng is really strong!

So far, I am used to driving the Tesla Model Y, and then driving the Xpeng G9. I have to feel the rapid development of domestic cars. Among other things, the charging speed alone is the fastest in the world, and it also has other aspects. In contrast, Tesla, which I have been pursuing in the past, does not seem to be as good as I imagined. On the contrary, it is at a disadvantage in all aspects. One is suspected of bragging, and the other is real! This is my truest feeling as a Tesla owner at present, come on domestically! #G9 in my eyes#
