XPENG New G6: Design, Comfort and Everyday Features
A quick tour of the NEW G6 — the design details, the cabin, the efficiency and the everyday features that make it a standout among electric SUVs in Australia. If you're considering the NEW G6 in Australia, or simply curious about what the new G6 offers, this overview covers the essentials.
The XPENG NEW G6 has earned attention since its arrival, and for good reason. Any XPENG G6 review in Australia comes back to the same few themes: design, efficiency and charging speed. It has a strong sense of identity. From the moment you see it, the design language is distinctive. It's a look that has made the G6 family one of the most recognisable in the brand's line-up.
Design: distinctive from every angle
The NEW G6's front end is one of its most individual features — a bold face with slim LED daytime running lights and a clean, modern treatment that stands out in traffic. As an electric SUV coupe, it walks the line between style and space. It's the kind of design that's easy to pick in a car park. LED lighting is used throughout, which is a practical plus for Australian night driving. The bodywork uses sharp, flowing lines that give the car a taut, athletic stance. The youthful rear design keeps the whole package cohesive.
Inside: sporty and comfortable
Step inside and the NEW G6 feels modern and driver-focused, with a layout that suits everything from the daily school run to a full week of commuting. The dashboard is clean and minimal, with most controls handled through a large centre touchscreen. Premium-feeling materials are used throughout the cabin. The seats are designed for support on long journeys, with ventilated seats available — a genuine asset in Australian summer heat. Everything falls to hand quickly, which makes daily use genuinely pleasant.
The panoramic glass roof is one of the cabin's highlights. Its 99.99 per cent UV protection keeps the interior comfortable even on the brightest days. You get the open, airy feel without the usual trade-offs.
Efficiency and range: built for real driving
Under the skin, the NEW G6 is built on XPENG's 800V XHP 3.0 platform with a 5C battery — a combination that puts it near the top of the EV range conversation in Australia. Together, they deliver two things Australian buyers care about: range and charging speed.
Depending on the variant, the NEW G6 offers a WLTP range of up to 525 km. That's enough for a full week of commuting or a weekend away without charging anxiety. A top-up from 10 to 80 per cent takes around 12 minutes on a compatible ultra-fast charger. Charging stops start to feel incidental rather than planned. Efficiency is strong too, at around 17.5 kWh per 100 km.
Everyday features
The NEW G6 comes with a useful set of everyday features: connected services, driving mode selection, a rear wiper and cabin ambient lighting (where fitted). Digital key options — including phone-based keys — make getting in and out of the car easier. Over-the-air updates keep these features improving over time. As with any modern EV, the exact feature set can vary by specification and software version. Check the details for the variant you choose.
The bottom line
The NEW G6 doesn't shout about one headline feature — it combines distinctive design, a comfortable cabin, strong real-world range and genuinely fast charging into one package. That balance is rare in a segment full of one-trick ponies. For Australian buyers, that's a combination that's easy to live with every day — on the commute, on the weekend drive, and everywhere in between.
