After revealing itself to the world last month, the Xpeng G6 facelift turned up at Auto Shanghai 2025. China gets three variants priced at RMB176,800 (RM105k), RMB186,800 (RM111k) and RMB198,800 (RM118k) – the first two with a CLTC range of 625 km and the third, 725 km.
According to a filing with China’s industry and information technology ministry (MIIT), the 625 km variants use a 68.5 kWh battery while the 725 km variant uses an 80.8 kWh battery. All three variants have a single 296 PS/450 Nm motor powering the rear wheels. 0-100 km/h takes 6.3 seconds.
Comparatively, the pre-facelift’s battery capacities and CLTC ranges are 66 kWh/580 km and 87.5 kWh/755 km. In other words, the smaller battery’s now bigger and the bigger battery’s now smaller, and the ranges correspond accordingly.
Perhaps most significantly, the 800-volt EV’s charging multiplier has been boosted from 3C to 5C, theoretically meaning you’ll get a full battery in a fifth of an hour. Indeed, Xpeng says 10-80% will take a speedy 12 minutes.
It is still unknown if the G6 facelift will have a dual-motor version. The pre-facelift’s AWD variant, which is not available in Malaysia (yet?), has 358 kW (487 PS), 660 Nm of torque and a 3.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
The Xpeng logo was the only thing preventing the pre-facelift from having a full-width front light bar; the facelift can have it now since the logo’s been moved up to the bonnet. Also new are the alloys, ducktail spoiler and blackened bits including the bodykit and brake callipers.
The 1,920 mm width, 1,650 mm height and 2,890 mm wheelbase carry over; only length has increased 5 mm to 4,758 mm. Inside, a new 15.6-inch touchscreen (previously 14.9 inches) complements the unchanged 10.25-inch digital instrument panel. The steering wheel now has capacitive touch controls, the air vents have been reshaped and the front seats now have a massage function.
The rear seat backrests have 12 adjustment levels from 27-38.4 degrees, while the ambient lighting now has a ‘galaxy rhythm array’ and ‘four-door diffuse reflection’ – whatever that means. Upgraded materials too – suede headlining, door panel leather, wood grain dashboard trim and more soft-touch stuff in the wireless charging area.
Like the X9 facelift, the G6 facelift’s smart driving system is powered by Xpeng’s self-developed Turing AI chip. The hardware includes two Nvidia Drive Orin chips with a total computing power of 508 TOPS.
