Xpeng G6 Long Range 2025 EV SUV Review

The 2025 Xpeng G6 has officially landed in Australia, marking the first model from the Chinese tech giant to hit local shores. This review focuses on the flagship G6 Long Range.

The G6 enters the market as a five-seat, mid-sized electric SUV, placing it in direct competition with the Tesla Model Y. It’s built on a cutting-edge 800 volt architecture, a technology usually reserved for more expensive EVs. The Long Range model is priced at $59,800 before on-road costs.

Xpeng G6 all the details 

What does the Xpeng G6 Long Range 2025 look like?

The G6 adopts the popular coupe SUV “fastback” silhouette, which i’d describ as clean and aerodynamic. The execution is arguably softer and less bulbous than its main competitor. The front end features a full-width LED light bar, with the main headlights integrated lower in the bumper.

This sleek design continues at the rear, which features a light bar that echoes the front. Key exterior features include frameless doors, pop-out door handles, 20-inch alloys, and a massive panoramic glass roof as standard.

What is the Xpeng G6 Long Range 2025 like inside?

The first impression of the G6’s interior is that the “cabin feels expensive.” The design is minimalist but not sparse, featuring a layered dash, soft-touch materials, and an optional “stunning white leatherette interior” that makes the cabin feel bright and airy.

Standard comfort features are extensive. The front seats are both heated and ventilated the steering wheel is heated and the two outer rear seats are also heated.

For instrumentation, the driver gets a sharp and clear 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster located directly ahead, meaning you don’t need to glance sideways for your speed. The centre console is well-equipped, featuring two 50W cooled wireless phone charging pads.

Storage

This is one of the G6’s most notable quirks. There is no traditional glove box in front of the passenger. Instead, Xpeng has focused storage in the centre. The “floating bridge” style console is large and features a big open storage area underneath, along with a deep covered armrest bin and a pair of large cupholders.

The front and rear doors feature large pockets with bottle holders, and the front seatbacks are fitted with pockets. The rear seats also get a flip-down armrest with pop-out cupholders.

Unlike some of its rivals, the G6 does not come with a “frunk” (front trunk), so there is no official storage under the bonnet.

Rear seat and boot space

The G6’s smart packaging continues in the back. Rear seat legroom is enormous, benefiting from a 2890mm wheelbase and a completely flat floor. Headroom is also surprisingly good for a coupe design, easily accommodating six-foot-tall adults.

The boot is a very practical, wide space, offering 571 litres with the seats up. The boot space expands to 1374 litres once the seats are folded.

Technology and connectivity

The cabin is dominated by a massive, landscape-oriented 14.96-inch central touchscreen. Critically, it features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

Audio quality is a high point, with the standard 18-speaker Xopera sound system that sounds fantastic.

Engine and drivetrain

The G6 Long Range is powered by a single rear-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. This powertrain produces 210 kW and 440 Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels. The 87.5 kWh battery provides a 570 km WLTP range.

Thanks to its 800-volt architecture, it can charge at a blistering 280 kW, allowing a 10 to 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes.

What’s the Xpeng G6 Long Range 2025 like to drive?

On the road, the G6 prioritises comfort. The ride quality is exceptional, plush, quiet, and incredibly refined, soaking up harsh Australian roads. The cabin is serene, aided by double-glazed windows and excellent sound deadening.

The 210 kW motor provides more than enough punch, with power delivery that is smooth and linear, not jarring. A major quality-of-life win is the safety systems, which are a genuine breath of fresh air. The G6 achieves its safety rating without the incessant, annoying beeps and bongs, offering subtle and smart driver alerts instead.

Safety features

The Xpeng G6 has achieved a 5-star ANCAP rating and comes equipped with a “full suite of ADAS features.” The provided article did not detail owner benefits such as warranty, roadside assistance, or service costs.

Final thoughts

The Xpeng G6 is not just ‘good for the price,’ it’s an outstanding vehicle, full stop. It systematically addresses its main competitor’s weaknesses by offering a proper driver display, a more luxurious interior, and a ride quality that is in another league. When combined with its class-leading 800-volt charging, the G6 isn’t just an alternative its a new benchmark and the smartest EV you can buy today for those who value comfort and technology.
