On June 9, Xiaopeng's brand-new model, the Xiaopeng G6, was officially put on sale at an advance price of 225000 yuan. According to the plan, the Xiaopeng G6 will be launched on June 29 and delivery will begin in July.

The Xiaopeng G6 made its debut at the Shanghai International Auto Show in April this year. The car is based on the Xiaopeng SEPA2.0 "supporting and shaking" architecture, locates a medium-sized SUV, offers two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, and will compete with Tesla Model Y after its launch.

In terms of appearance, the Xiaopeng G6 is built with the design concept of "science and technology flow aesthetics", and the whole design still uses the Xiaopeng family design, but unlike the current Xiaopeng car models on sale, the Xiaopeng G6 embeds the Xiaopeng brand LOGO in the middle of the smoked through headlight belt, with a black-bottomed brand logo and a white body, which looks highly recognizable. The front face of the Xiaopeng G6 is designed with a closed grille, and the light groups on both sides are designed with upper and lower layers, with the far and near light groups above and the lidar installation location below. The lidar layout is the same as the Xiaopeng P7i, right into the split headlights. The lower encirclement uses a diamond-shaped grille to increase the sense of motion of the vehicle in the visual effect.

On the side of the body, the Xiaopeng G6 is designed with a sedan-style SUV, the curved line of the roof is very smooth, and an obvious back-slipping trend is formed from the B-pillar. At the same time, the curved decorative line of the wheel eyebrow position enhances the sense of movement for the whole vehicle. The rear part of the car is another bright spot of the Xiaopeng G6. The rear part of the Xiaopeng G6 is round and smooth. The rear LOGO is also embedded in the center of the through lamp group, echoing with the front face, and provides different styles of rear windwindows and electric tail wings. The rear windshield uses an oval profile to look more delicate.

In terms of size, the Xiaopeng G6 has the length, width and height of 4753/1920/1650mm, the wheelbase of 2890mm, and the positioning of medium-sized sedan car SUV. For comparison, the length, width and height of Tesla Model Y are 4750/1921/1624mm, and the wheelbase is 2890mm.

In the interior part, the interior layout of the Xiaopeng G6 is relatively simple, with a large number of leather cladding, a 10.2in full LCD dashboard and a 14.96in central control screen, with a Xmart OS 4.0car system, a double-spoke steering wheel and as few physical buttons as possible.

In terms of power, the Xiaopeng G6 offers two power options: two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with a maximum power of 218 kilowatts and a peak torque of 440 Nm, while the four-wheel drive version has a comprehensive power of 358 kW and a comprehensive torque of 660 Nm. In terms of batteries, the Xiaopeng G6 will match lithium iron phosphate batteries with a capacity of 66 kilowatt hours and ternary lithium batteries with a capacity of 87.5 kilowatt hours.

According to the official website, Xiaopeng car models on sale include Xiaopeng P7, Xiaopeng P7i, P5, G3i and G9 models, of which Xiaopeng G3 and P5 have entered the middle and end of the product, and the competitiveness of the pure electricity market at the level of 10-200000 is gradually weakening. Xiaopeng G9 also faces challenges on the sales side because of its relatively high price. In other words, Xiaopeng P7i, G6 follow-up to a large extent will become Xiaopeng car sales support. Among them, he Xiaopeng has high hopes for the Xiaopeng G6. He Xiaopeng said bluntly that the G6 would become a popular style in China's 20 to 300000 yuan new energy SUV market.

Data show that the cumulative sales of Xiaopeng cars from January to May in 2023 was 32800, down 38.88% from the same period last year, making it the brand with the highest decline among the three car companies. For comparison, in the first five months of 2023, the cumulative sales of ideal cars were 106500, up 124.87 per cent from the same period last year, while those of Xilai were 43800, up 15.81 per cent from the same period last year.

As a model charged with the important task of boosting Xiaopeng's sales, Xiaopeng also invited Lin Zhiying to act as the spokesman of Xiaopeng's G6 brand. On June 6, Xiaopeng officially posted on Weibo that Lin Zhiying has become the spokesman of Xiaopeng G6 brand, and it remains to be seen whether Xiaopeng G6 can have a "good-looking" sales performance at that time.
