I test drove the G6 last week. It felt like my Audi Q5 but with softer suspension and better feel on the brakes. My G6 will arrive in December

[DileepaRanawake]

Xpeng G6 looks like a dream and much better value than the Tesla. Hope they come to the UK

[nhand]

Looks like the best of the Chinese EV so far. More choice is good for Australia.

[rockycata]

Viking, it looks like your finally enjoying all your hard work over the last 3 years. It's good to see success from the hard work😅😎👍 Was shocked 😲🤯😍 you bought Shana a car, sooo cool, an incredible story💝💝💝

[ElusiveAlloy]

What a sleek and clever SUV. I have so much admiration for the diligence and dedication required to build such a modern vehicle. A great affordable option for Aussie families.

We in Canada have been played by the US for applying 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Meanwhile the US has decided to delay the tariffs on Chinese EVs. Great play Uncle Sam.

[donaldwatson]

Wait till 2025 with all the new makes. Mid year 2025 will be good choice of makes to buy a ev.

[jansenwilder]

I'm waiting for Byd sealion 07 RH drive 🚗 to arrive. It will challenge the G6, I'm thinking of the Zeekr X as well. Good options for buyers.

Sam, just a tip from a bloke who did a lot of rallying and some circuit racing a long time ago. You need to change your grip style on the steering wheel, you won’t be able to react quick enough with your right hand on the top of the wheel and the left doing nothing if something happens. Try the old tried and trusted ten to two position.

[jerrybowen]

It's great that Chinese EV makers are finally moving to take over the industry in Asia and Australia. Competition is great. You should schedule a FREE model 3 test drive ASAP so you can feel the many differences.

Hi Sam. Some of us need to tow a trailer or caravan. You never seem to mention this but it is a major consideration for us when looking to purchase a new car.

[jjjxoxoxo]

Tesla's one peddle driving is perfected and an amazing experience. It took me a week to become really good at one peddle driving, and I hate going back to driving the auto RAV4. It would be very annoying for the car to continue creeping at 1kph as this car does.

[StirfriedGerman]

I like the seats. The side support in the Tesla MY is too much for my a little bigger self (183cm, 120kg), the G6 is just right. My skinny (42kg) wife likes the seats too, and the back seat is comfortable as well. The center console is indeed a problem in many EVs, again in the G6 it didn't bother me, and retracted feet position when in self driving mode is great too. Seat ventilation works well, powerful AC (33C here in China when tested), the glass roof didn't cook my head unlike the MY. Rear passenger space is a lot bigger than MY. And yes the sound system is quite impressive. Amazing auto parking, good self driving on fast roads, quiet, a well tuned chassis. And the long range has plenty of power for fun driving, the Performance Max is probably totally unnecessary unless you need 4WD. No glove compartment, no frunk, but for me not a show stopper.

[runepetersen]

An interesting thing about charging the Xpeng G6 on Teslas supercharger network, is that the speed won´t really get above approx. 90-100 kW. Presumably because the G6 uses 800 v technology, which a few other brands also uses. At least this is the case in Denmark, where I live. Just something to be aware of.

[ganeshnayak]

No car will be 100% perfect. If it meets 80% of your expectations then it is a best buy and don't regret it.

[millionstartups]

Friends share good things and Sam you have been a great friend to us viewers. So thank you.

[Harrythehun]

I would wait for the Tesla model Y update before buying any new car. Many will regret buying a car right now

[greyjamiesod]

Sam, best wishes to you and your family. Thanks for all the videos.

[cuteandfunnyearthlings]

Both model y and g6 looks good, i will just get the cheapest one.

[paulocarvalho]

It looks like a great car!
Now, Xpeng, make a smaller version (around 4.3 meters), and maybe create a more interesting back design, and "I'm sold"!
