In terms of performance, the G6 boasts impressive range options, with models offering up to 625 kilometers (approximately 275 miles) based on the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle. An additional version increases the range to 725 kilometers. The vehicles’ AI batteries also feature notable resilience, designed to withstand extreme temperatures and significant collision forces.

The launch of the G6 was met with remarkable enthusiasm, as 5,000 firm orders were recorded within the first seven minutes of availability, indicating a robust demand for the latest model.

As the electric vehicle landscape continues to evolve, Xpeng’s advancements highlight the growing competition and innovation stemming from Chinese automakers, which are rapidly setting new standards in performance, technology, and pricing in the EV market.
