A Luxury MPV with Sports Car Agility
Unlike conventional multi-purpose vehicles, the XPENG X9 stands out with its active rear-wheel steering system, a feature typically reserved for high-end sports cars and luxury sedans. This technology significantly enhances maneuverability, allowing the large 7-seater MPV to handle tight city streets and sharp turns with the ease of a compact car. Experts believe this innovation could give the X9 a strong competitive edge against traditional luxury vans.
Interior Designed as a Mobile Living Space
Inside, the XPENG X9 transforms the concept of cabin comfort. The spacious interior has been designed as a mobile living space, offering flexible seating arrangements and advanced infotainment features. One of its standout highlights is the ability to convert the cabin into a mini cinema, making long journeys more enjoyable for families and executive travelers alike. Premium materials, ambient lighting, and AI-powered controls further elevate the in-cabin experience.
Managed Launch with a Focus on Customer Experience
The Pakistan launch of the XPENG X9 is being managed by Tesla Industries, the group behind premium electric models such as GuGo GiGi and AION UT/V. According to industry sources, the debut was intentionally delayed to ensure a seamless customer experience, including after-sales support, charging infrastructure planning, and service readiness.
Part of XPENG’s Global Expansion
XPENG has been steadily expanding its X series across international markets since early 2026, signaling its ambition to become a global leader in AI-driven electric vehicles. Pakistan’s inclusion in this expansion reflects growing demand for premium EVs and advanced mobility solutions in the region.
Challenging Legacy Luxury Brands
Automotive experts believe the XPENG X9 Starship MPV has the potential to rival established luxury brands by offering a unique blend of performance, innovation, and intelligent design. With its futuristic styling, smart technology, and luxury-focused features, the X9 could set a new benchmark for electric MPVs in Pakistan’s evolving automotive landscape.
As anticipation builds, the XPENG X9 Starship MPV is poised to attract attention from luxury car buyers seeking innovation beyond conventional offerings.
