2025 XPENG G6 REVIEW: CHEAP IS GREAT AGAIN!! RIP BYD SEALION 7?

EV Channels Review

The XPeng G6 emerges as a strong contender in the rapidly expanding Chinese EV market in Australia, offering a compelling blend of features and value. The reviewer highlights its "proper refinement" and "futuristic" design, particularly praising the 800-volt architecture which enables exceptionally fast charging. Practicality is a strong suit, with a spacious boot and excellent rear-seat accommodation, noted as class-leading. The interior, while similar to competitors, feels well-executed with good quality materials and supportive, heated/cooled seats. Positives include the responsive infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and the impressive Xpilot driver assistance system, deemed the best among Chinese EVs tested. However, the G6 isn't without its flaws. The reviewer notes the rear end's tendency to squat significantly under suspension load and the lack of a powered tailgate for the frunk. The absence of keyless entry and a manual sunshade cover are also minor drawbacks. Despite these points, the G6 delivers impressive real-world efficiency, beating its claimed figures. The reviewer concludes that the G6 offers great value, especially compared to the Tesla Model Y Juniper and BYD Sealion 7, making it a highly recommended option for those seeking a well-rounded and affordable electric SUV.
