The electric vehicle (EV) market is rapidly evolving, and the Xpeng G6 is a new player that aims to make a significant impact. This large vehicle is designed for comfortable long-distance travel, boasting a suspension that invites you for a long journey.
One of the standout features of the Xpeng G6 is its impressive charging capabilities. While competitors like the Cupra Tavascan max out at 135 kW, the Xpeng G6 boasts a maximum charging power of an impressive 451 kW. This means that with the right infrastructure, the Xpeng G6 can charge quickly, making it an ideal choice for those who frequently embark on long journeys.
However, it's important to note that currently, there are no charging stations in Munich and the surrounding area that offer more than 400 kW. Companies such as Siemens and Infineon, along with specialized contractors, are installing charging stations with more than 400 kW charging capacity in Munich and surrounding areas, but these are yet to become widespread.
The Xpeng G6's new battery has a usable capacity of 80 kWh, a decrease of 7 kWh compared to the old one. This new battery is an LFP battery, replacing the old NCM battery, and is said to have a 30 percent longer lifespan.
The interior design of the Xpeng G6 follows the design of Chinese cars, with few tactile controls and much crammed into the touchscreen. The seats are upholstered in Nappa leather and offer little lateral support. The operation of the Xpeng G6 is still somewhat distracting, and it remains unclear who finds this design good.
One unique feature of the Xpeng G6 is the monitor in place of the rearview mirror. While larger than a classic mirror, it is less sharp, which could potentially affect visibility.
The Xpeng G6 starts at 47,600 euros, making it slightly cheaper than its competitor, the Cupra Tavascan, which starts at 48,340 euros.
In conclusion, the Xpeng G6 is a high-power electric vehicle designed for long-distance travel. With its impressive charging capabilities and comfortable suspension, it could be an attractive option for those who frequently travel long distances. However, potential buyers should consider the current lack of high-power charging stations in Munich and the surrounding area, as well as the design of the interior and rearview mirror monitor.
