The Xpeng G9 is a flagship mid-size electric SUV from Chinese EV maker Xpeng Motors, built on an 800V silicon carbide platform with class-leading fast charging (10-80% in 12 minutes on 2025 models), up to 725 km CLTC range, and a full-stack autonomous driving system called XNGP. It competes directly with Tesla Model Y and premium European EVs, and has been exported to Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Its tech is now licensed to Volkswagen Group.
The Zeekr 001 is a premium battery electric shooting brake made by Zeekr, a Geely Holding Group sub-brand. Launched in 2021, it is widely described as the world's first mass-produced EV shooting brake - a swooping 5-door fastback combining Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo aesthetics with aggressive EV performance and tech at a fraction of the price. With triple five-star safety ratings, up to 1,265 hp in its FR quad-motor variant, and charging speeds that hit 546 kW peak on its 2026 900V platform, the 001 has become the benchmark for Chinese premium EVs seeking global legitimacy.
