The XPeng G6 (Chinese: 小鹏G6; pinyin: Xiǎopéng G6) is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Chinese electric car company XPeng. The G6 was unveiled in April 2023 during Auto Shanghai and it was launched in China in June.

History

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 is positioned between the compact G3i and the flagship G9 as a mid-size crossover.[3]

The G6 features a minimalist design characteristic of the company's other products, highlighted by a sleek silhouette and coupe SUV proportions.[4] Its front end is distinguished by double-row headlights, formed by two closely spaced LED strips. The Performance edition includes an opening spoiler at the lower edge of the body, which, combined with the vehicle's aerodynamic shape, is designed to optimize airflow.[5] The G6's design was developed in collaboration with renowned Chinese science fiction writer Liu Cixin.[6]

During the premiere, XPeng claimed that the G6 features fast-charging capabilities, allowing users to add up to 300 kilometers of range in 10 minutes. This is made possible by the new generation modular Smart Electric Platform Architecture (SEPA) 2.0 platform.[7][8]

The G6 was developed for sale in global markets. Deliveries of the first units began on 29 June 2023 in China,[9] with selected Western European markets to follow in 2024.[10]

It adopts refreshed styling such as having a full-width front light bar, new wheel design, additional rear ducktail spoiler, and revised fender plastic trims. It also gained revised dashboard design, a larger 15.6 inch central screen, and upgraded materials throughout the cabin. The model features intelligent driving system powered by its AI Turing chip, developed independently by XPeng.[11]

Powertrain

The G6 is available with two powertrain variants. The basic version is equipped with one rear electric motor producing 218 kW (292 hp; 296 PS),[12] while the top-of-the-line model uses two motors developing a total of 358 kW (480 hp; 487 PS).[13] The basic battery is a LFP pack with a capacity of 66 kWh, while long range models uses a 87.5 kWh NMC battery, both produced by CALB.[4]

Since 2025, the updated G6 is equipped with either a 68.5 kWh LFP or a 80.8 kWh NMC battery.[11]
