XPENG does not give sales volumes or the exact periods behind the rankings. Malaysia publishes registration data by make and model, although registrations are not the same as sales. XPENG also does not specify which models it includes in the premium segment.

The X9 in the three markets

XPENG shipped the first 300 X9s to Thailand in February 2025 and launched the model in Malaysia that March. The Indonesian launch followed in June 2025, with local production beginning in July. According to paultan.org, the updated 2026 version launched in Malaysia in June 2026. XPENG does not specify which Malaysian launch its post refers to. The markets are on the map of XPENG’s markets.

In Europe, the X9 recently won the luxury class in German Car of the Year 2027, as covered in our story on the award. The XPENG X9 page has the European figures.
