AMSTERDAM, Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XPENG Motors ("XPENG" or the
"Company," NYSE: XPEV and HKEX: 9868), a leading Chinese smart electric vehicle
("Smart EV") company, today announces that the international model of their
flagship electric SUV, XPENG G9, has received a five-star 2023 safety rating
from Euro NCAP.
Euro NCAP's five-star safety rating system aims to help consumers, their
families and businesses compare vehicles more easily and identify the safest
choice for their needs. The tests, which replicate real-life road danger
scenarios, represent the European gold standard for comprehensive automotive
safety testing.
The rating recognises the XPENG G9's advanced body structure and comprehensive
passive safety features, which are designed to protect passengers in the event
of a collision. These innovations work together to manage crash forces
effectively, reduce impact acceleration, and minimize the risk of injuries to
occupants.
The result follows XPENG's five-star safety rating for the international model
of the XPENG P7 in October, making it their second five star rating this year.
Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and Co-President of XPENG, said:
"Receiving a five-star rating from Euro NCAP for both the P7 and now the G9 is
testament to the quality of our vehicles, especially given the 2023 test's even
higher standards. As a company, we believe in the power of technology and are
constantly working to improve customer experience and safety. Our in-house
engineering, enabling simultaneous and harmonious hardware and software
development, gives us a strong edge in our ability to develop industry-leading
smart mobility innovations."
Comprehensive Safety Features
XPENG G9's body structure is composed of robust materials that include high-
strength steel for enhanced protection during collisions. A cage-designed body
structure enables efficient multi-path distribution of crash forces and shields
passengers from the full force of the impact. The front of G9 is designed to
absorb significant amounts of energy to further protect the driver and
passengers during a collision; advanced flexing and tearing technology also
helps with overall energy absorption throughout the vehicle.
