Xpeng G6 Specs: Tesla Model Y Rival — Full Breakdown

The Xpeng G6 has emerged as one of the strongest Tesla Model Y alternatives in global markets. An Xpeng G6 review highlights its value. It offers 570 km WLTP range, 280 kW fast charging (10–80% in about 20 minutes), and XPILOT 2.5 ADAS. For European buyers weighing a compact electric SUV, the G6 delivers competitive specs at a lower price point than the Model Y—typically €45,000–€60,000 versus Model Y’s higher range.

I’ve driven the G6 on European roads. The interior feels modern and well-finished; the 14.96-inch touchscreen and 10.2-inch instrument display are intuitive. Cargo space (571 liters) is practical for a compact SUV. What stood out was the charging speed—on a capable 800V charger, the 20-minute 10–80% claim held up. That’s a meaningful advantage on long trips compared with 400V rivals.

In Europe the G6 has 5-star Euro NCAP (2024) and CCS2 charging. This article covers G6 specifications, design and interior, XPILOT capabilities, and how it compares to the Model Y.

G6 Specifications

The G6 is a compact SUV (4,753 mm long, 2,890 mm wheelbase)—slightly smaller than the Model Y but with comparable interior space. The long-range variant offers 570 km WLTP. The AWD version reaches 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. Battery options span 66–87.5 kWh. Fast charging peaks at 280 kW. XPILOT 2.5 provides highway and city assistance where approved.

Spec	Xpeng G6
Type	Compact SUV
Range (WLTP)	570 km (Long Range)
0-100 km/h	4.0s (AWD)
Battery	66-87.5 kWh
Fast Charging	280 kW, 10-80% in ~20 min
ADAS	XPILOT 2.5

Design and Interior

The G6 includes a 14.96-inch central touchscreen, 10.2-inch instrument display, Nappa leather on higher trims, and a panoramic glass roof. Cargo capacity is 571 liters. The layout is clean and driver-focused. Build quality is on par with European competitors I’ve tested.

XPILOT Autonomous Driving

XPILOT uses 29 sensors (cameras, radar, ultrasonics), an NVIDIA Orin-X processor, Highway NGP, City NGP in supported regions, and remote parking assist. It’s often compared favorably to Tesla’s Autopilot, especially in complex urban settings. European deployment of advanced features is rolling out; check Xpeng’s local specs for your market.

G6 vs Tesla Model Y

The G6 matches or exceeds the Model Y on range (570 km vs 533 km) and charging speed (280 kW vs 250 kW). The Model Y is slightly quicker to 100 km/h (3.7s vs 4.0s). The G6 typically costs less—global pricing around $30,000 versus Model Y around $45,000; in Europe, expect €45,000–€60,000. ADAS and interior finish are competitive. For value-focused buyers, the G6 is compelling. Our Xpeng G6 Complete Guide has a full comparison.

Feature	Xpeng G6	Tesla Model Y
Range	570 km	533 km
0-100	4.0s	3.7s
Fast Charge	280 kW	250 kW
Base Price (Europe)	€45,000-€60,000	Higher
ADAS	XPILOT 2.5	Autopilot

A Charger Compatibility Snag

On a test drive, I stopped at a fast charger that listed 350 kW support. The G6 negotiated about 180 kW—still fast, but not the advertised peak. The issue was the charger’s compatibility with 800V vehicles, not the car. The lesson: advertised charging speeds depend on the charger. Xpeng’s app and PlugShare can help identify 800V-capable sites for maximum throughput.

European Availability

The G6 is available in select European markets. Pricing typically ranges €45,000–€60,000. It competes with the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and similar compact electric SUVs. Xpeng’s European network is expanding; check availability in your country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Xpeng G6 available in the UK?
Xpeng sells in several European markets. UK availability depends on right-hand drive and homologation. Check Xpeng’s UK site or your local dealer for current status.

How does XPILOT compare to Tesla Autopilot?
Both offer highway and city assistance. XPILOT is often rated highly in Chinese urban environments. European deployment of City NGP is rolling out. Xpeng uses a sensor-rich approach (cameras, radar, ultrasonics) versus Tesla’s vision-focused system.

What is the G6’s real-world range?
WLTP is 570 km for the long-range variant. Real-world range depends on weather, speed, and use of climate control. In mixed conditions, expect roughly 450–500 km. Cold weather will reduce that. See our Xpeng G6 Complete Guide for detailed range testing.
