Xpeng G6 Review: Targeting the Tesla Model Y

The mid-size crossover market is a high-volume market, competitive and cut-throat. The Xpeng G6 stands a good chance of carving out.

이 엑스펑 G6 is starting to look like a homerun for Xpeng, something they’ve been craving since the flaccid sales performance of the P5 & G9 (G9).

Personally, I think Xpeng should have entered the popular mid-size crossover segment years ago. But better late than never.

And with the passage of time the Xpeng G6 has been gifted with some tech it may not have had if it was created 2 또는 3 years earlier.

값

The Xpeng G6 has two-tiered Pro & Max versions in terms of its ADAS hardware and capabilities. Pro is the lower-end model, and they are priced between 209,900-234,900 위안. The Max models are priced between 229,900-276,900 위안.

충전, 배터리 & 레인지

That price variation with the Pro and Max come down to battery size and single vs dual motor.

Both the cheapest Xpeng G6 Pro & Max are equipped with a single rear motor and a 66-kWh LFP battery pack claiming a 580 km 범위.

The long-range versions have a single rear motor and an 87.5-kWh NCM pack with a claimed range of 755 킬로미터.

The Xpeng Performance Max has a dual motor and the same larger 87.5kWh pack returning a range of 700 킬로미터.

Firstly, no optional 4C for the Xpeng G6, but 3C is standard. Xpeng lined up a test at a third-party charge station against a Tesla Model Y performance, to show that the G9 on its SEPA 2.0 platform was able to take advantage of the higher voltage.

It added double the range of the Model Y in 5mins. And while the Model Y may charge faster at a supercharger, this was just to show the Xpeng G6 could still charge fast even if not at one of Xpeng’s 3C chargers.

그렇지만, if you do plug it into a 3C compatible charger you can expect to charge 10-80 퍼센트 19 mins and add 300 km in 10mins. 물론, these are based on the CTLC so expect a 70 percent real-world range.
