The G9L measures just under two meters wide, 1.78 meters high and has a wheelbase of 3.10 meters. Xpeng offers it as a six-seater with two individual seats in the second row or as a seven-seater with a 2:3:2 layout. The front Nappa leather seats are electrically adjustable, heated, ventilated and equipped with a massage function; the second row also offers heating, ventilation and massage.
