TESTING CHINA'S FSD LEADER - XPENG XNGP

EV Channels Review

The reviewer evaluates XPeng's XNGP system in the G6, comparing it to Huawei's ADAS. While XNGP offers impressive capabilities within its operational zones in Shanghai, its accessibility is limited compared to Huawei's system, which covers more areas. The G6's XNGP demonstrates competence in lane changes, navigation, and handling highway driving, even showing a tendency to drive slightly over the speed limit. However, the system requires frequent torque input on the steering wheel, which can be cumbersome. The reviewer notes that XNGP, like other systems, struggles with anticipation, often reacting rather than proactively planning like a human driver. Despite some sharp maneuvers and occasional slowness, especially in complex turns, the system is deemed 'quite decent' and favors safety over aggression, contrasting with Tesla's approach. The reviewer concludes that while XNGP is a good system, the need for constant driver intervention diminishes its benefit for personal use.
