On January 7th, Xiaopeng Motors announced that it will officially launch the 2026 G6 and G9 models at 3:00 PM on January 8th, under the theme of "technological upgrade," initiating a computing power revolution in Chinese intelligent electric vehicles. This upgrade is not a traditional annual model iteration, but rather a complete system upgrade featuring self-developed Turing AI chips, achieving a dual leap in intelligent driving and cockpit experience, redefining the intelligent experience benchmark for pure electric SUVs in the 200,000 RMB price range.

Technological value |
|
Intelligent driving chip |
Three self-developed Turing chips(Ultra version), with a total computing power of2250 TOPS. |
Supports local execution of large VLA-OL+VLM models, achieving a closed-loop AI process across the entire "perception-decision-control" chain, eliminating reliance on cloud computing. |
|
Cockpit chip |
Powered by an independent Turing chip, the intelligent cockpit boasts a 40% improvement in response speed. |
Full-Scene Voice 2.0 achieves "speak as soon as you see it", "usable without network", and "four-zone voice recognition", making the interaction as natural as a human's. |
|
Intelligent driving system |
XNGP 3.0 All-Scenario NOA, Fully Integrated for Urban/Highway/Parking |
The system adds advanced features such as "automatic detour around construction zones," "unprotected left turns," and "pedestrian crossing prediction," with a pass rate exceeding 95%. |
|
Compared to the current model |
The 2025 model uses NVIDIA Orin-X (508TOPS). |
The computing power has been increasedby 4.4 times, leaving ample room for the continued evolution of OTA in the future. |
"Technological upgrade" is not just marketing jargon, but a fundamental hardware restructuring. Xpeng becomes the world's first automaker to implement a "intelligent driving + cockpit" dual Turing chip architecture in mass-produced vehicles.

G6: The "Smart Mobile Living Room" of Mid-size SUVs
Robot Face Emotional Front End: The headlights gradually brighten as the user approaches, like a smiling greeting, enhancing the emotional connection between the car and the driver.
180° Reclining Rest Cabin: Front seats recline + rear seats fold flat, creating a flat space for napping or camping, instantly transforming into a "mobile bedroom."
Cloud-like Wrap-around Seats: Driver's seat with 8-way power adjustment + 4-way lumbar support, standard ventilation/heating, superior support compared to luxury brands in the same class.
Frameless Doors: A-pillar blind spot reduced by 15%, enhancing the sense of occasion when entering and exiting the vehicle, and reducing wind noise by 2.3dB.
G9: The "Luxury Smart Cockpit" of Large SUVs
Ultra Exclusive Tail Badge: Identifies the high-end configuration with the Turing chip, significantly improving visual recognition.
Cloud-like Wrap-around Seats: Standard ventilation/heating/massage across all models, with added independent temperature control and 256-color ambient lighting in the rear.
Three-layer Silver-plated Panoramic Sunroof: 99.9% heat insulation rate, comfortable in sunny weather, and unobstructed stargazing at night.
X-HP3.0 Thermal Management System: Stable operation across a full temperature range of -30°C to 55°C, with winter range degradation controlled to within 10%.

Core Conclusion: The Xpeng G6/G9 is the only model in the 200,000 RMB price range that offers the combination of "Turing chip + 800V + full-scenario NOA + full-range massage," making its technology accessibility globally leading.
Price Threshold: Although the starting price of the G6 is low, the Ultra version is close to 300,000 RMB, and some users believe the "high-end version is overpriced."
Extended-Range Version Perception: Some consumers still mistakenly believe that "extended-range = outdated," requiring market education: 800V + 5C supercharging makes the charging speed of extended-range vehicles comparable to pure electric vehicles. Chip long-term stability: The Turing chip is being mass-produced for the first time, and its long-term operational reliability under extreme conditions requires 1-2 years of real-world data verification.
