The tech world just got a glimpse of automotive luxury that’ll make Silicon Valley engineers weep - and it’s not coming to America.

XPENG’s X9, a seven-seater electric vehicle, is basically a rolling living room that puts most Bay Area apartments to shame. Imagine a car with a 21.4-inch ceiling screen, built-in mini fridge, and seats that massage you while cruising down the highway. Oh, and did we mention it’s 17 feet long?

More Than Just Another EV

This isn’t your standard electric vehicle. The X9 comes loaded with features that scream “future is now” - like wireless phone charging cradles, 23-speaker audio system, and air conditioning vents that basically hug every inch of the interior. The middle seats fully recline, turning your commute into a first-class experience.

Tech Tensions Keep Us Wanting

Unfortunately, U.S. tariffs mean this automotive dream machine won’t be gracing American roads anytime soon. Chinese EV manufacturers are essentially being told to keep their incredible innovations on the other side of the Pacific.

XPENG’s vice-chairman Dr. Brian Gu isn’t backing down, positioning their brand as a premium technology experience that goes beyond just being another affordable import. For now, we’ll just have to drool over specs and dream about what could be.
