CarExplore's Take on the 2025 Xpeng G6

The 2025 Xpeng G6 enters the Australian market as a strong challenger to established electric SUVs, particularly the Tesla Model Y. It impresses with its combination of performance, range, and advanced technology features, all at a competitive price point.

The G6's interior offers a good balance of minimalism and functionality, with high-quality materials and a spacious cabin. The advanced infotainment system and driver assistance features showcase Xpeng's focus on technology.

Performance is strong across the range, with even the base RWD model offering quick acceleration. The Long Range variant provides an impressive WLTP range of 570km, making it suitable for longer trips.

However, some aspects of the driving experience, particularly the steering feel, may need refinement for the Australian market. The non-round steering wheel and heavy reliance on touchscreen controls for some functions may not appeal to all drivers.

Ideal For: Tech-savvy buyers looking for a feature-rich electric SUV with competitive range and performance, who are open to trying a newer brand in the Australian market.

Consider Alternatives If: You prefer more conventional controls, want an established brand with a proven track record, or need an all-wheel-drive option.
