Large five-seat electric SUV sized between the Tesla Model Y and Model X, built on 800V SEPA 2.0 architecture with a peak DC charge rate of 300 kW. Long Range RWD and Performance AWD grades share a 98 kWh NMC battery.

Interior and Technology
800V SEPA 2.0 architecture with 300 kW DC charging, 570 km WLTP on the RWD, 28-speaker Xopera 7.1.4 audio standard, and the Performance AWD does 3.9 seconds for under $90k. 660 L boot plus 71 L frunk keeps it family practical.
Five seats only with no seven-seat option in the segment, brand is still building service footprint outside metro, ANCAP rating is pending with Euro NCAP carry-over only, and X-NGP advanced features are still rolling out via over-the-air updates.
Should you buy the G9?
Reasons to buy
- 800V SEPA 2.0 architecture with 300 kW DC charging, 570 km WLTP on the RWD, 28-speaker Xopera 7.1.4 audio standard, and the Performance AWD does 3.9 seconds for under $90k. 660 L boot plus 71 L frunk keeps it family practical.
- Warranty: 5 years, unlimited km (8 years or 160,000 km battery).
- 660 L (71 L frunk) boot, segment-competitive cargo space.
Reasons to wait
- Five seats only with no seven-seat option in the segment, brand is still building service footprint outside metro, ANCAP rating is pending with Euro NCAP carry-over only, and X-NGP advanced features are still rolling out via over-the-air updates.
- You need seven seats (no seven-seat option in this G9), you want a brand with a wider service footprint outside metro, a current ANCAP rating rather than the Euro NCAP carry-over, or you want a Tesla Supercharger access plus traditional retail.
- The Long Range RWD is the sweet spot for buyers focused on range and value. The Performance AWD is for buyers who want a proper fast SUV without paying BMW iX or Porsche Macan Electric money.
- Top trim climbs to $84,800 plus on-roads.
