Oh my, dear friends! The XPeng G6 is really going to step up this time! I just got the news from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The new G6 is coming soon, and it seems it's going to have a head-on confrontation with the Tesla Model Y. Let me first summarize the changes of the new XPeng G6 for you: First, the range. The new G6 offers two types of batteries, 68.5 kWh and 80.8 kWh. The mileage ranges announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are 600/625 km and 700/725 km respectively. Well, it seems that the maximum range has decreased a little bit, but the range of the 68.5 kWh battery has actually increased. What does this mean? It means that XPeng has put a lot of effort into energy consumption! Let's look at the exterior. The front face has changed a lot. The front light strip of the new G6 has become a complete star-ring light strip, and the car logo has also been moved to the front of the hood. I think this design is really cool and looks more sci-fi. The rear of the car has also been modified, with an added 'ducktail' rear spoiler, and the rear logo has been blackened. Now it looks more sporty and will definitely catch the eyes of many young people.
For the interior, XPeng has newly launched a soft-light beige color scheme, which looks very comfortable. Paired with the panoramic sunroof, it just makes you eager to be the first one to enjoy it. Regarding the power system, the new G6 still uses a rear-mounted single motor with a maximum power of 218 kW. However, the battery has been replaced with a lithium iron phosphate battery from CALB. This move is perfect. It not only ensures performance but also reduces costs. It's really a brilliant combination. Speaking of this, we have to compare it with the Tesla Model Y. The Model Y has also recently reduced its price, starting at 249,900 yuan. But guys, the starting price of the XPeng G6 after discounts has dropped to 179,900 yuan! This price difference is almost enough to buy another half of a car. Moreover, the G6 comes standard with an 800V silicon carbide platform and high-speed NGP intelligent driving. The Pro version and above also have urban NGP. Honestly, this level of intelligence is almost overwhelming Tesla.
But we also have to be realistic. Tesla is indeed a pioneer in the new energy and autonomous driving fields, and its technology accumulation is quite profound. Although the design of the Model Y is simple, it really stands the test of time and still doesn't look outdated. So the question is, can the Model Y still hold its ground in the face of the upgraded XPeng G6? I don't think so. The G6 has solved its biggest pain point - the price this time. Coupled with the overall improvement in appearance and technological configurations, it will definitely make many consumers who are about to order the Model Y hesitate. But when it comes to buying a car, it still depends on personal preferences. Some people like Tesla's minimalist style, while others prefer XPeng's high-tech style.
So, I suggest that everyone should go to the 4S store for more test drives and make a decision after experiencing it personally. What I want to say is that both XPeng and Tesla are constantly making progress, which is definitely a good thing for us consumers. The fiercer the competition, the more choices we have, and the better the products will be. So, the question is, facing the upgraded XPeng G6 and the price-reduced Model Y, how would you choose?
