Xpeng G6 launch prices! Xpeng have been even more aggressive in pricing than rumours lead us to believe! 580 Pro - 209,900 RMB ~ $28,900 ~€26,600 580 MAX - 229,900 RMB ~$31,700 ~€29,150 755 Pro - 234,900 RMB ~$32,400 ~€29,800 755 Max - 254,900 RMB ~$35,200 ~€32,300 700 Max - 276,900RMB ~$38,200 ~€35,100 Xpeng G6 is priced to sell!
If you are looking at Y SR, you can either save 45k CNY and get 50km more range with a 580 G6. Or you can save 29k CNY and get 210km more range with 755 G6. And much faster charging. Much smoother less bumpy ride. It would take a mad person to pick Y over this.
The two stand out reasons to pick a Model Y over this are: 1) you want a foreign brand 2) you really enjoy the heavy direct steering Apart from that there isn’t much else I could say the Model Y has over this in the real world
@@ChinaDriven looks like Tesla Y is finally on the decline. G6 and ES6 eating its lunch. It’s about time we see some new models do well. I’m embarrassed for China that people still prefer Tesla the old and boring choice.
@@ChinaDriven I went to Xpeng pop up booth at the mall in HK because of your video. My wife and I love the car and paid a deposit for pre-order. We have one concern however. The G6 for HK will all have NCM battery instead of LFP. Is this something we should worry about with regards to fire safety?
@@robocop581 I’ll say battery fires are overly publicised. Combustion car catches fire doesn’t generate as many click online as “battery fires” Stats generally point to petrol/diesel cars being more susceptible to fires. There was a spate of fires in Xpeng P7 early cars mostly attributed to the early CATL 811 NCM cells (high performance high power cells) but the cells have been redeveloped from my understanding In terms of safety familiarise yourself with lithium ion battery safety. Especially charging and battery levels. Lithium ion batteries should be kept between 20-80% ideally. You can charge to 100% if you plan to drive it but you shouldn’t store the car at 100% for prolonged periods of time is the general consensus.
@@ChinaDriven Thanks for this. We do have battery options for the G6 in HK. The SR will have LFP while the LR NCM. Range is not an issue in HK as we can only drive within the Territory
I reckon if XPeng can lure themselves a German or Scandinavian as their Chief Designer that would be awesome. From there young Chinese designers can learned from the great European tradition in automobile design languages where the world can’t bloody get enough of….my humble opinion:)
I agree. I think with the price they set at the launch event, took us by surprise. We knew they were going to price it aggressively, but that was something else.
@@Stake2 haven’t heard specific dates yet. But I’d guess by the end of the year it either will be in Europe. Or we’ll have an announcement about it going.
Xpeng wouldn’t give us the boot dimensions before launch. I did record a take which was basically just me saying, here’s the boot. Seems ok. I don’t know how big it is…but I took it out the final edit. I can now tell you the boot size of the Xpeng G6 is 571L seats up. Seat down it’s 1374L. This is within spec of most of its competitors. However, in this aspect the Tesla model Y wins hands down with 855L seats up and 2041L seats down.
The tested version is quite different from the one on sale Europe. No lidar, no extra spoiler, but luckily rear seat heating, and improved software. Very interesting indeed!
I have Tesla stocks but have now also started buying XPeng as well. XPeng at a 15 billion US market cap with all their manufacturing makes them very interesting.
"I have ordered the 755PRO version. While my demand for urban autonomous driving (XNGP) isn't particularly strong, its performance on expressways and highways is excellent. Additionally, XPENG is about to release an impressive MPV, the X9. I haven't had the chance to test drive it yet, but once the actual vehicle arrives at the dealership, I will definitely take the opportunity to experience it firsthand." 我订购了755PRO 版本，对于城市自动驾驶（XNGP）我的需求不是那么强烈，但是他的快速路以及高速公路的体验非常棒，而且XPENG 马上要出一台非常棒的MPV，X9，现在我还没有试到实车，等实车到店，我一定再去好好体验一下。@@ChinaDriven
@@ChinaDriven honestly? Mostly more cost cutting measures from what I heard. Some are good like using less separate parts for the chassis, others are bad, like having to change between forwards, backwards and parking via swiping
Please, please, what is the boot size?!!! I can't seem to find any info on the boot size of the XPeng G6. This is a very important factor when considering whether to buy the G6 or not!
Xpeng did not tell us the boot size on the filming day before the launch. even though we asked. I’d say it’s at least average for the class. But how big I don’t have the figure. Let me search if anyone has it now.

so right now XNGP City is only available in China. When Xpeng will open this in Europe I don’t know. Will probably depend on local rules. I believe XNGP highway (Navigate in Autopilot) will be available in Europe. Currently the P7 in Europe has access to Xpilot 3.0 which has a Navigate on Autopilot feature. But the G9, G6 & P7i models with LiDAR have the hardware on board.
I’m used to using the Xpeng infotainment. It’s basically evolved over time a bit. I think it’s a decent system. Most Chinese EVs have mode similar to teslas camping and pet modes. Xpeng’s have a sentry mode here in China. For English OS abroad I can’t confirm if they do currently.
@@flukeylukey7559 go and double check. But I’d be surprised if it doesn’t have these features. I know in markets outside of China, many EVs that aren’t teslas lack what I would consider “basic” smart EV functions.
Originally the smartest ev in china. If xp only made the p7 then it’s name is able to compete with Tesla, but now it won’t compete with Nio or Li which it could have beat but failed to.
No this G6 is proving to be a great addition for them. The P5 was a wrong turn, people didn't like the practical gimmicky nature of it. And the G9 was initially too expensive, which they revised today in their update, already having 8K confirmed orders day 1. The G6, P7i, G9 all boast XNGP highway and city capability. Still leading China's OEM ADAS
They screwed up destined to flop. G6 is too small to compete with Y, it should have been G9! But look at that design! Where’s the sexy shape of the P7 everyone loves? Shame XP
Well the G6 is pretty much exactly the same dimensions as the Model Y whilst being a fair amount cheaper. The shape is quite hard to capture on camera. But that suspension roof does do a lot to shape the side profile and front 3/4 angle. But some angles still less desirable.

Good point.
The designer is from Porsche I think. The efficiency dynamics restrict the design though. A lot of better looks would cut into the performance.
Great review & what a cracking looking car, It's got everything I'd need in a BEV. They've got a winner with this model.
I agree. I think with the price they set at the launch event, took us by surprise. We knew they were going to price it aggressively, but that was something else.
Definitely on my shortlist here in Norway!
Defo a should be. Hope the price it arrives at is reasonable!
I wonder when this model will arrive in Sweden or Norway.
@@Stake2 haven’t heard specific dates yet. But I’d guess by the end of the year it either will be in Europe. Or we’ll have an announcement about it going.
I love your videos can you please review the Hycan V09 please
I’ll try to arrange something with Hycan.
Nice, I wonder what actual customers even care about track performance. It's every day comfort and performance when needed that seals the deal for me.
Bragging rights perhaps…
thanks for the preview. just Curious: why didn't you show the trunk? And how is it?

@@nilsfinken because there’s no city XNGP in Europe so pointless to sell the LiDAR equip version until they have a timeline for that I guess
Good review Will.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm just here to see if I should put my little bit of money in the stock!
I have Tesla stocks but have now also started buying XPeng as well.
XPeng at a 15 billion US market cap with all their manufacturing makes them very interesting.
这车我去试驾了，相当的棒！尤其是那超优秀的能耗，和足够大的空间，还有就是在国外体验不到的相当优秀的城市驾驶辅助！
It's definitely one to consider at this price point and in this class!

This is what tesla could be if they didn’t cut costs at every opportunity
Certainly makes me wonder what a refreshed model Y/3 could bring in order to keep up…
@@ChinaDriven honestly? Mostly more cost cutting measures from what I heard. Some are good like using less separate parts for the chassis, others are bad, like having to change between forwards, backwards and parking via swiping
Very nice video, i like it and will check the G6 as well. Looks quite interesting option. Thanks for sharing 👍🙏⚡️🔋🏁
Thanks for watching!

The tech & features for the price is a great value proposition
So the x pilot or autopilot only for china town or if I buy it can we install another map for my country???

Is the infotainment as good as Tesla, camping or security modes?

Does this have sentry mode?
Not currently, but rumours it will come via OTA in the “future”
