XPeng unveiled the G6 electric crossover coupe in the spring of 2023 for the 2024 model year, and the new vehicle showed a more composed design, which was called tech-fluid aesthetics by the carmaker's representatives.
With less than a decade passed since the brand's establishment, the Chinese automaker seemed to be on a mission to cover all grounds. By 2023 it already had a small-sized crossover and two sedans on its lineup. In addition, a big-sized SUV named P9 was already competing with other electric crossovers on the market, like the Tesla Model X.
The 2024 G6 had already adopted the automaker's design language, which consisted of an LED strip that crossed the front fascia. Below it was a panel that housed the angular-shaped headlights and a lower, trapezoidal grille placed at the bottom of the bumper. From its profile, the coupe-shaped vehicle sported retractable door handles, like in a Range Rover, and a sloped-down roofline that resembled a Porsche Cayenne Coupe. Finally, at the back, XPeng dropped the idea of a continuous red light strip and placed two distinct LED taillights instead.
Inside, the automaker installed a pair of high-bolstered front seats that could have been completely reclined, thus converting the car into a sleeping place. On the dashboard, the automaker installed a 15” touchscreen atop the center stack for the infotainment system. Fronting the driver, a second display showed the speed, navigation, range, and other critical information to those behind the wheel. In the back, there was enough room for three passengers on the split-folding benchseat.
Thanks to its new 800 volts architecture and the newly developed engines, the G6 boasted a range of over 700 km (435 miles) for the version fitted with the biggest battery pack. XPeng offered the SUV-coupe with either rear or all-wheel drive systems.
