Engine & Performance
The XPENG G6 Super Long Life is powered by a single rear-mounted electric motor producing 296 horsepower (Hp) and 440 Newton-meters (324.53 lb.-ft.) of torque. This configuration delivers brisk acceleration, with a 0-60 mph time of approximately 5.6 seconds, and a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 5.9 seconds. The vehicle boasts a maximum speed of 125.52 mph (202 km/h). The powertrain utilizes a single-speed automatic transmission, typical of electric vehicles, and is a rear-wheel drive (RWD) setup. The weight-to-power ratio is 7.1 kg/Hp, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 4.8 kg/Nm, indicating a relatively efficient power delivery. The 87.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, located beneath the floor, provides a CLTC-rated range of 755 km (469.14 miles). Real-world range will vary depending on driving conditions and style.
Design & Features
The XPENG G6 features a coupe-SUV body style, blending the practicality of an SUV with the sleek lines of a coupe. It offers seating for five passengers and has five doors for easy access. The exterior design is modern and aerodynamic, contributing to its drag coefficient of 0.25. Key features include a minimalist interior with a large touchscreen infotainment system, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as ABS, and a spacious trunk offering between 20.16 and 48.52 cubic feet of cargo space depending on the rear seats configuration. The vehicle’s dimensions are 187.13 inches in length, 75.59 inches in width, and 64.96 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 113.78 inches. The G6 incorporates a double wishbone front suspension and an independent multi-link rear suspension for a comfortable ride. The approach and departure angles are 16° and 20° respectively, providing reasonable off-road capability for a vehicle primarily designed for urban and highway driving.
