The G9 took five stars in Euro NCAP’s 2023 test, announced on 6 December 2023. Six weeks earlier the P7 had done the same, XPENG’s first five-star result under the new protocol. The G9 also became the first XPENG SUV with five stars from both Euro NCAP and China’s C-NCAP.
The car that was tested is not the one in the showroom today. The result covers model years 2023 and 2024, where the Long Range and Performance ran a 98 kWh gross NCM battery and up to 570 km WLTP. Since around August 2025 the G9 has been an MY25 with a 93.1 kWh LFP battery, up to 585 km WLTP and up to 525 kW of charging power against the earlier 300.
Two figures that are both correct
The battery explains something a buyer runs into constantly. The English, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian versions of the release said 98 kWh. The Dutch version said 93.1. Both are right. The 98 is gross capacity and the 93.1 is the part the car actually uses.
That is the rule of thumb when two sources disagree about an XPENG. The difference is almost always gross against net, two different model years, or two different trims. On the G9 all three apply at once, which is why the G9 model-year differences page is the right place to look before comparing one figure with another.
None of the language versions carries the sub-scores. To see how the stars break down across adult occupant, child occupant, vulnerable road users and safety assist, you have to go to Euro NCAP itself.
The XPENG G9 page has the version sold today, and what the cars carry in safety and assistance equipment is set out in the guide to driver-assistance hardware.
