Xpeng has made its debut in Malaysia through distributor Bermaz Auto. The first model to be offered here by the Chinese brand is the Xpeng G6, a sizeable electric SUV that competes directly with the Tesla Model Y at a lower price point.

Two variants of the Xpeng G6 are offered in Malaysia. There’s the base Standard Range model for RM165,820, while the Long Range variant is priced at RM185,820. As the names suggest, what differentiate the two models is the range offered, though there’s also a power difference.

Let’s start with the higher-end Xpeng G6 Long Range, which features an 87.5kWh battery that is good for a range of up to 570km on a single charge measured under the stringent WLTP standard. It also has an electric motor on the rear that outputs 282hp and 440Nm of torque for a 0-100kmph time of 6.2 seconds.

As for the more affordable Xpeng G6 Standard Range, it comes with a smaller 66kWh battery, returning up to 435km of WLTP range. While it also has a rear-mounted electric motor, the power is slightly lower at 255hp, but torque remains the same at 440Nm. This allows the EV to do the century sprint in 6.6 seconds.

In terms of charging, both variants of the Xpeng G6 support 11kW AC charging; it can get from 5% to 100% in 7.5 hours and 9.5 hours for the Standard Range and Long Range models respectively. As for DC charging, the Standard Range can do 215kW charging, while the Long Range can pull 280kW of power, though both can achieve 10% to 80% charge in 20 minutes.

The Xpeng G6 is now available for booking in Malaysia from RM165,820. If you want to check out the EV for yourself, you can do so at LUXE 1 Utama from today until 1 September. You can also register your interest for the electric SUV right here.
