Xpeng launches G6 SUV at even lower prices in China
The Chinese electric car manufacturer Xpeng has officially launched its G6 Ultra Smart Coupe SUV in China. It is expected to rival the Tesla Model Y in China – and possibly abroad.
The electric SUV starts at 209,000 yuan, the equivalent of around €26,600. That means the base price for the coupé-like SUV with 800-volt technology is approximately 15,000 yuan lower than announced at the pre-sales start.
At the beginning of the month, Xpeng announced that the EV would sell for 225,000 yuan (approximately €29,000). That would already have been 38,900 yuan (about €5,000) lower than that of the main competitor Tesla Model Y. Deliveries of the G6 will begin in July.
It is the first Xpeng model based on the new 800-volt SEPA 2.0 platform, which the company presented in China. According to Chinese standards, the EV has a range of up to 755 kilometres (according to Chinese standards) and a charging speed of ten minutes for 300 kilometres of range.
Xepeng has emphasized that the name G6 only applies to the Chinese market. That implies the carmaker will also introduce the electric SUV in other markets. However, no such move has been confirmed.
