At the 11 kW AC charging figure, a 5-100% charge for the base Standard Range is attained in 9.5 hours, while the Long Range and Performance will require 11 hours for the same measure.

The AWD Performance, with its dual-motor, 370 kW (537 PS)/640 Nm powertrain, does the century sprint in 5.9 seconds.
Powertrain and battery aside, equipment specifications are mostly uniform across the three variants of the Xpeng X9 facelift. For chassis systems, all three variants come standard with rear-wheel steering and dual-chamber air suspension; wheels are 20-inch alloys shod in 235/50R20 tyres.
