Xpeng may be new to the UK, but it’s been around in mainland Europe for a while (we first drove the G6 in Germany last summer) and was founded in China in 2014. While the G6 is the first model to arrive in the UK, with final pricing and first deliveries expected in the spring, a full range of up to five models is expected within the next three years.
The G6 has clearly targeted the Tesla Model Y, the UK’s best-selling electric car, with everything from its size to its proportions. And we’d say it’s a better bet than the Tesla, with the ride in particular making it easier to live with. With prices now confirmed, the G6 is cheaper to buy than the Model Y, too.
