At the beginning of the month, I was quite busy, so I will briefly provide feedback on the delivery experience and car pickup operation, and will improve the content later.
I ordered the 702Max model with multi-spoke wheels, white exterior and black interior. I signed the contract at around 8:20 pm on September 21st, and until the car pickup time, I had not had the chance to test drive the two-wheel-drive version in Nanjing, only experienced the static and dynamic performance of the four-wheel-drive version. My deeper understanding of the G9 car itself mainly comes from my sales consultant, online car reviews, and many knowledgeable and well-informed car enthusiasts. Therefore, I will not go into further details about the car itself here. My car was ready for delivery at around 11 am on October 25th. That evening, the vehicle was in transport status and arrived at the store on October 28th (last Friday) in line with the logistics schedule, indicating that everything went smoothly. I booked the delivery time for Saturday morning and arrived at the Jiangning Xpeng Center in Nanjing with my whole family early Sunday morning.
We arrived at the delivery center at 9:30 am, where there were three G9 vehicles including mine, all with 702 multi-spoke wheels and unnoticed interiors. The patient Xiao Yang accompanied me throughout the entire process, including the vehicle inspection, completion of payment, insurance purchase, temporary license plates application, and introduction to the vehicle functions, with unobstructed communication throughout. I would like to especially thank my sales manager, Mr. Jiang from the Deji store, who even drove to the vehicle registration office on the day of car pickup to obtain the temporary license plates for me. From the time I viewed the car, to the static test drive, and to the actual test drive, he was patient in answering all my questions, and I hope he will achieve great success in his work.
Regarding car pickup, there was one mechanical key and one remote control key, as shown in the picture, and no card key (only a welcome letter). The accompanying gifts include two gray headrests, full car floor mats, sunshades, trunk shades, an inflatable mattress, and various rights and benefits as shown on the official website. I chose a RMB 8,700 insurance policy from China People’s Insurance Co., Ltd., which includes mandatory external power grid failure insurance and the premium was basically as expected.
Special notice: The Max version car comes with a 5G telecom data plan with the onboard infotainment system. For those who have no signal in the underground garage, please complain to the relevant authorities.
Previously, I drove Modely, which had a familiar single-pedal mode of kinetic energy recovery, coasting, and advanced driver assistance systems, as well as a soft suspension and excellent noise suppression that made me feel more comfortable driving. These days, during my commute, the energy consumption ranges from 13.8 to 15, giving me more confidence in driving range. From now on, G9 will accompany our family on the road!
