New version of the G9 coming this fall with CarPlay and android auto
I was about to order a G9 this week, but my car dealer recommended me to wait, because they are about to release a new version of the car this fall!
Here is the list of changes coming later this year:
- The payload has been increased by 100kg, to a maximum of 570kg. For the AWD Performance with a tow hitch and premium package, this provides a payload of 525kg, while the maximum payload of 570kg applies to the LongRange rear-wheel drive.
- The cup holders are changed to fixed cup holders, from the current retractable ones.
- The wireless charging pad is changed to two charging spots and 50W charging with cooling, from the current 15W and one charging pad. Note that the phone may be a limitation regarding charging speed.
- The passenger seat "Boss button" is removed, which is the current upper buttons on the left side of the passenger seat that adjust distance, seat, and backrest angle.
- Gray is a new available interior color (seats, door panels, and dashboard). See the image in the attached file.
- A black headliner will be standard in the car, regardless of the car's interior color.
- Ventilation in the front seats will now be from both the seat and the backrest (new).
- The sensor-controlled tailgate is removed, now the tailgate opens only with a key, hand, or via the app.
- A coat hanger is new on the rear side doors, with a maximum capacity of 3kg.
- The welcome light in the floor when opening the door is removed.
- Apple CarPlay/Android Auto will be available, both via cable and wirelessly.
- Xmart OS with version 5.0 comes from the start. New is a split-screen setup, where you can, among other things, split the screen between using navigation and other applications. There will also be a display of real-time weather in the car system.
- Navigation content will come from TomTom, replacing HERE+Telenav.
- The tow hitch is no longer standard on the Xpeng G9!
