在內地電動車普及前，很少機會模型車較真車更早面世，拓意的1/64小鵬X9，就較真車抵港早了差不多一個月，未訂車的話不妨先睇辨。

小鵬X9定位於旗艦級豪華智能車型，專為商務及家庭兩用而設計。雖然車長5.3米，但因配備主動後輪轉向系統，最大轉向角度達5度，車身有10.8米轉彎直徑，跟一般SUV相若。技術規格上，X9配備多種電池容量選項，標準版電池容量為84.5 kWh，長續航版則為101.5 kWh，最大功率達到235 kW，扭矩為450 Nm，標準版續航480公里、長續航版575公里。X9還具備800V超快充電技術，只需20分鐘即可將電量由10%充至80%。外觀上，X9採用了流線型設計，搭配LED頭燈與巨型前格柵，車身高度僅1.78米，方便進出香港停車場。內裝空間方面，7.7平方米的車廂配上1.1米超長電動滑軌，讓座椅調校更靈活。第三排座椅可一鍵電動收納，變出1.8米x1.6米平台。行李箱採用下沉式設計，容量由原本1,144升擴充至2,554升。標準版65.99萬起，長續航版69.99萬起。

相對真車，拓意的小鵬X9同樣份量十足，車頭前衛造型鬼面罩幾乎是真車相同倒模，前後膠燈、車身稜角線條，以至巨型車頂透明膠件一應供全。內櫳是拓意長期佔優的一樣，數碼錶板、中控台顯示屏一一還原真車，差在看不見0至50°C冷熱一體式雪櫃、21.4吋生態顯示屏幕及升級選配零重力座椅。未來又會否有更多同步的情況呢？

Large Body, Small Turns – Xcartoys’s XPENG X9

Before electric vehicles became widespread in mainland China, it was rare for a model car to be released ahead of the real vehicle. However, Xcartoys’s 1/64 scale XPENG X9 model has arrived in Hong Kong nearly a month before the actual car. If you haven’t placed an order yet, why not check out the model first?

The XPENG X9 is positioned as a flagship luxury smart vehicle, designed for both business and family use. Although it measures 5.3 meters in length, its active rear-wheel steering system allows for a maximum steering angle of 5 degrees, reducing the turning radius to just 10.8 meters, similar to typical SUVs. In terms of technical specifications, the X9 offers different battery options—84.5 kWh for the standard version and 101.5 kWh for the long-range version. The maximum power output is 235 kW, with a torque of 450 Nm. The standard version has a driving range of 480 kilometers, while the long-range version can reach 575 kilometers. The X9 also features 800V super-fast charging technology, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 20 minutes.

As for the interior, the X9 boasts a spacious cabin with 7.7 square meters of space and features a 1.1-meter-long electric sliding rail, making seat adjustments more flexible. The third-row seats can be folded down with the press of a button, creating a 1.8m x 1.6m platform. The trunk capacity can be expanded from 1,144 liters to 2,554 liters. The standard version is priced at HKD 659,900, and the long-range version starts at HKD 699,900.

Xcartoys’s 1/64 scale XPENG X9 model is equally impressive. The futuristic design and front grille are almost exact replicas of the real car. The headlights, sharp body lines, and even the huge transparent roof panel have been meticulously recreated. One of Xcartoys’s long-standing strengths is its attention to interior details—the digital dashboard and central display are faithfully replicated. However, the model understandably does not include the 0 to 50°C integrated fridge, the 21.4-inch eco-display, or the optional zero-gravity seats. Will there be more instances where a model is released ahead of the actual car? Only time will tell.
