The XPeng G6 Is Good Enough To Take On The Model Y

XPeng’s last two model launches weren’t as successful as they’d hoped, but is the G6 going to turn things around?

nice alternative to the Model Y. They really intended the suspension to be softer considering the car elevation and thicker tires vs the Y. The rear slope looks heavy and bulky for more headroom and likely more cargo.

Love Xpeng, hope it will come to NZ market one day

We want this in Australia! Currently only MG and BYD is selling reasonable price on electric cars..

Y: 10 TFLOPs processing power.
G6: 508 TFLOPS.

Y: 340 V platform
G6: 800 V

Y: 20 sensors
G6: 31

The range and efficiency on this will be insane. They haven’t announced official numbers. Some reviewers are noticing 13kwh/100km in mixed use, sports version not long range, ADAS and heavy cooling on. The long range will probably beat Model 3 LR efficiency. And 150km more range than Y of same battery size. 800V SiC tech.

XPENG went up nearly 25% today due to VWs announcement...

Wish it was in the US. Love the rear cup holders. Would have like a one piece front screen like Mercedes. It should be more aerodynamic than it is. Those lower bumper lights look unnecessary and create drag

5:10 The G6 is priced much lower than the P7, as can tell by the numbering as well. So it’s perfectly normal for it to use cheaper materials.

I will definitely consider getting this G6 over the Model Y if ever it reaches the US.

the interior of xpeng is much better than model y

Very astute remark about the G6. One KWH less and one torque less than the Y. Coincidence - no - It can do .2sec less to 100km/hr (apologies if I’m paraphrasing) - to me that says the Chinese designers were told to make a car that on paper is slightly better - hence KWH and torque figures are just one more. Or else the real figures are roughly same or less so the marketing people state one more to make it look good for those who only look at the numbers. The lower acceleration time - always varies according to real world conditions and tyres - well - clearly they made a very good clone of the Y but didn’t make it quite as good! The G6 looks pretty good; but it’s a Chinese copy of a Y. It just is.

Nio should help fellow Chinese autos BYD and Xpeng with exterior designs

[Brick-Life]

The XPeng is much better than the Tesla!

[lelitj]

I'm still a sucker for the Avatr 11

[fbokiti]

Please when is it coming to the UK? I'm putting my Model Y leasing on hold waiting for this lovely Xpeng.

[SamMasghati]

Why does the wireless chargepad have holes in them? fluids and dirt will eventually fall into it

[dann]

bring down to australia..guranteed you most of the people like who are waiting for RAV4 will turn to G6 right away! You will see more than 50 thousands order before end of 2023 here!

[gerardy]

Hope it will be available in Australia.

Apparently the Taycan 800v system only charges at 50kwh at the 400v Tesla SC system. Will this be the same issue with the G6?
