1. The white appearance looks more impressive than the gray one, and I personally think that the brown interior is also very beautiful (more luxury feel [hand dog head]).
- The Denon sound effect is also good (played “Ferry” during both the stationary and driving process, the sound is rich. Although I am not a professional in this field, it feels better than other cars of the same price I have ridden in).
- The car’s system is not very stunning, maybe because I am interested in these high-tech things normally, so after experiencing G9, I didn’t have much freshness with XPeng’s voice assistant and human-computer interaction.
- In terms of driving experience, to be honest, the first test drive didn’t feel good, the whole car was swaying like a ship. Also, the double-chamber air suspension did not give me a stunning feeling, and some bumps on the road in standard mode could still be felt in the cabin. During the second test drive, the salesperson said that the suspension had been adjusted, and it did feel different from the last time. The sense of a large ship had disappeared, and it was also more comfortable to drive. Also, I did not feel the brake nodding that everyone had been talking about during both test drives, maybe because I tend to brake slowly.
- The two test drives took place at different times. I intentionally chose the afternoon for the second test drive to experience the heat-insulating effect of the G9’s sky roof (in October, the outdoor temperature was around 30 degrees Celsius at 4 pm in Guangzhou). In fact, the sky roof insulation effect is still good. However, I did feel hot from the side windows and the windshield when the sun shone, it was really hot. Therefore, it is still necessary to put film on the rear windows after purchasing the car.
Above are my feelings after two test drives of the G9. Due to limited space, I was unable to write down every detail. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask~ (Finally, I’ll leave a picture of XPeng-branded bottled water as a decoration~)
