At this stage, Xpeng needs a popular car to increase sales, although the P7i sells well, but strictly speaking, it is not a new car, but a mid-term facelift model of the P7, so the G6 is a model with a heavy responsibility. The official also has high hopes for it, and the new technologies that can be given are used, such as 800V high-voltage platform + 3C cells, XNGP driving assistance system, integrated die-casting and battery body integration technology, etc., so I estimate that the main sales model of G6 will be priced at about 250,000, and competitors point to Tesla Model Y.
Since it is a static experience, there are not many points to share, and it is customary to talk about the advantages first and then the disadvantages.
Pros (1). The use of a large number of new technologies. As mentioned earlier, this is a model that Xiaopeng has high hopes for, so G6 is also armed to the teeth, and the 800V high-voltage platform + 3C battery and battery body integration technology that I value the most in terms of hardware are used, so the cost of the whole vehicle must not be low. The first 800V platform + 3C battery cell in China greatly improves the energy replenishment efficiency, even when charging at the social charging pile, it will be faster than other trams, and battery body integration is also the current development trend of electric vehicles, reducing weight while improving energy consumption.
Pros (2). XNGP driver assistance systems. The whole car is equipped with 31 perception elements, with 508TOPS computing power, Xpeng's performance in intelligent assisted driving does not need me to say more, you can ask the owners around you, at least the owners and friends of Xiaopeng I have met said that it is very easy to use, and it rarely needs to be taken over by humans after opening. Of course, no matter how advanced the driving assistance function is, it is only assistance, and we must not think of it as automatic driving.
Cons (1). The appearance is disputed. At the declaration stage, the appearance of Xpeng G6 has caused heated discussions, so I spent a long time looking at this car from all angles, the real car looks much better than the declaration map, but the whole vehicle design is relatively rounded, and most of the current model designs are relatively sharp, the contrast is large, so it takes time to accept. The filming location was in a cultural and creative park, and people passing by had mixed reviews of the car's appearance. Even a young lady came from a distance and asked if I could help her take a picture with this car, and before leaving, she looked at this sexy orange and said, "I like this little cougar." Of course, the appearance of this thing is a matter of opinion, but predictably, this appearance may be disliked by some people and feel that the rear of the car is a little bloated, so I have reservations about the appearance of this car.
Disadvantages (2). Sun protection problems with panoramic canopies. The advantage of the canopy is that it is transparent, there is a sudden and cheerful feeling, and the rear passengers will not be depressed, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the sun protection problem in summer. Although the top glass has been insulated and can filter out more than 90% of ultraviolet rays, some people just don't want sunlight to shine through, so students who are afraid of sun can buy an adsorbable sunshade from the Internet. Of course, it is not the Xiaopeng family, Tesla, NIO and other models are all designed like this.
In terms of appearance, Xpeng G6 adopts a ring light strip and split headlights, continuing the family design language, and under the headlights is LiDAR.
In terms of body size, Xpeng G6 is 4753*1920*1650mm, wheelbase 2890mm, Tesla Model Y is 4750*1921*1624mm, wheelbase is also 2890mm, Xpeng has a slight advantage.
The tail is still rounded style, although it is not a through-type taillight, but the lighting effect is still very good, with the black active lifting tail, the overall look is very dynamic.
The interior is a simple style commonly used by new energy, the instrument panel is made of microfiber suede material, which is very good to the touch, and the seat is made of antibacterial and stain-resistant silicone, which is convenient for later care. It adopts a 10.2-inch embedded instrument, the central control screen is 14.96 inches, the overall display effect and fluency are very good, and the voice recognition is a full-scene four-tone zone, supporting quiet wake-up.
The interior space of the Xpeng G6 is also good, the front row is adjusted to my comfortable sitting position, the rear legroom is two punches, and the head room is one punch. In terms of seating space, the Xpeng G6 is significantly superior to the Tesla Model Y.
In terms of power, Xpeng G6 has two versions, single motor and dual motor, single motor 218kW/440N·m, providing 66 degrees of lithium iron phosphate battery, dual motor 358kW/660N·m, providing 87.5 degrees of ternary lithium battery.
Write to the end
Overall, the configuration of Xpeng G6 is very top, the manufacturer has put the new technology that can be provided in place, compared with the competing Tesla Model Y, it is simply the difference between hardcover and rough room, and the only suspense left is the price. Judging from the situation of new energy vehicles in the market this year, the pricing of G6 will be very close to the people, after all, seizing market share is very important for Xiaopeng now. So the question is, if it is 250,000, Xpeng G6 vs Tesla Model Y, what will you choose?
