Price and trims
| New G6 variant | Drive | Battery (gross) | WLTP range | MSRP (before on-roads) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Range | RWD | 68.5 kWh | 480 km | $51,800 |
| Long Range | RWD | 80.8 kWh | 525 km | $56,800 |
| AWD Performance | AWD | 80.8 kWh | 510 km | $63,800 |
The AWD Performance costs $7,000 more than the Long Range. It keeps the same battery and adds a front motor for 358 kW / 660 Nm and a quoted 0–100 km/h in 4.13 s. XPeng's configurator shows a recommended drive-away price by state. The current offer is 2.88% p.a. finance (comparison rate 2.88%) over up to 3 years with no minimum deposit, on new and demo New G6s built from 1 May 2026. Applications must be received and settled by 31 December 2026.
Battery and range
The battery is an 80.8 kWh (gross) LFP pack. On standard 20-inch wheels WLTP range is 510 km, with combined consumption of 18.4 kWh/100 km. Kerb weight is 2,220 kg, 105 kg more than the RWD Long Range.
Highway range tests
Bjørn Nyland, 120 km/h: we haven't found a published test of the updated G6 AWD Performance. Out of Spec Reviews, 70 mph: none (not sold in the US). Tests of the original 2023–24 G6 use different hardware, so we don't apply them here.
Charging
| DC peak | Up to 451 kW (XPeng figure) |
|---|---|
| DC 10–80% | 12 minutes (XPeng internal testing) |
| AC | 11 kW; 5–100% in 9.2 hours |
| V2L | Up to 6 kW |
The 12-minute figure is XPeng's own, and it depends on a charger that can supply that much power. Our explainer on the G6's 451 kW claim covers what to expect on local networks.
Size, seats and practicality
| Boot | 571 L seats up, 1,374 L seats folded |
|---|---|
| Seats | 5 |
| Kerb weight / GVM / payload | 2,220 / 2,690 / 470 kg |
| Turning radius | 5.8 m |
| Length / width / height | Not shown in the XPENG Australia configurator specs we checked |
| Towing | Not listed in XPENG Australia's published G6 specs; ask the dealer before buying for towing |
Warranty and servicing
Vehicle warranty is 7 years, unlimited km for private buyers. The traction battery, battery management system, drive motor and power unit are covered for 8 years or 160,000 km. XPeng's manual sets a minimum retained battery capacity during that period. Servicing goes through authorised XPENG service centres; we didn't find published per-service prices.
Safety (ANCAP)
Five stars for all G6 variants built from July 2024: adult occupant 88%, child occupant 86%, vulnerable road users 81%, safety assist 80%.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
Good fit: drivers who road-trip and can reach high-power chargers, and who want AWD performance at about the same list price as the Sealion 7 Performance.
Look elsewhere if: you need a published towing rating or full dimensions before you commit, or you want an independent highway-range result. Neither is available yet for this variant.
