On 18 April 2023, at Auto Shanghai, the world premiere of the fifth model in the portfolio of Xpeng took place. [1] [2] The G6 expanded the SUV range, positioning itself between the compact G3i and the flagship G9 as a mid-size crossover. [3] The vehicle has been maintained in a minimalist design typical of other products of the company, distinguished by a slim silhouette with double-row headlights created by two closely spaced LED strips with a dotted line motif. They also crowned the rear part of the body, which, thanks to the sharply cut rear end with a sloping roofline, gave the Xpeng G6 SUV Coupe propositions. [4] At the lower edge of the body there is an opening spoiler, which, together with the aerodynamic proportions of the body, is to ensure optimal air flow. [5] The appearance design of the G6 was coordinated with renowned Chinese science fiction writer Liu Cixin. [6]

The G6 was created for sale in global markets. Deliveries of the first units began on 29 June 2023 in China, [7] with selected Western European markets to follow in 2024. [8]

Specifications

The G6 is an electric car that was created in two drive variants. The basic one was equipped with one engine transferring the power of 296 hp (221 kW) to the rear axle, [9] while the top one, thanks to two engines and AWD drive, developed 480 hp (360 kW). [10] The basic battery has a capacity of 66 kWh (240 MJ), while the larger one is at 87.5 kWh (315 MJ). [4] During the premiere, XPeng declared that the G6 was equipped with a fast charging speed that allows user to complete up to 300 additional kilometers of range in 10 minutes, [11] which was possible thanks to the use of a new generation of modular SEPA 2.0 platform adapted to such technology.
