When was the last time any of us got slizzard or fly like a g6, really?
I can't think back that far. Sigh
Omg…now I cant get that song out of my head…
Ngl died a little inside when I realise that song was 16 years ago… stupid Covid time warps
Rear wheel drive only?
What The Tuck?
I can't get those excessively high price out of my head.
Seriously $$$ those dollars are way too high and no AWD.
$54,800 for the Standard Range model and
$59,800 for the Long Range model, before on-road costs.
I understand that the, "SEPA 2.0 (Smart Electric Platform Architecture) is an advanced modular electric vehicle (EV) platform developed by XPENG, [designed to serve as the foundation for future models. Key features include 800-volt high-voltage charging, integrated aluminium die-casting, and a focus on reducing research and development cycles and costs…]"
So, for the potential G6 EV car owner to get the 800 volt technology benefit and all the other benefits, XPENG is making them pay massively upfront for it.
Is the Car Maker, XPENG, that is benefiting from all those efficiencies in the pipeline, over-charging? (And not sharing any cost-reducing benefits from a better industrial process.)
Did it really cost this much extra for the development of this technology? (Which does cost more).
Is this a fair sharing of "the biscuit"?
Stupid pricing
Dude, you need to crawl out from under the rock and smell the new world order of 2025. A Toyota Camry with vinyl seats is now nearly $60k.
@Dollar Dreamer: Thanks, Mr Dollar Dreamer, I appreciate that.
In fact, I was looking a what other companies in the market-place offer.
I agree that the prices have gone a little wild, since COVID and don't really seem to have settled.
I am just surprised that XPENG expect to be successful.
They understand being innovative, but for the same or similar price, some basic things are being offered by other car-makers that vastly exceed this.
Camry's start at $40K going up to $53K. Before on-road costs.
Nice pink-coloured XPENG bags given out at the EV auto-show :-)
Free cap/pen if you do a test drive.
I knew that and I looked, but the earliest available slot was too late for me.
Looks like it's time for tesla should reconsider their prices
Also need to make sure they don't infringe bathtub trademarks.
Are both standard and long range coming with LFP battery ?
No - LR has NMC on these (the original model they are clearing out).
Refresh version (coming soon - probably within the next month or two) will be LFP for both.
is NMC the more expensive tech, i remember it being used on M3Performance and LFP was the cheaper one
It's more energy dense typically, esp compared to the older LFP batteries, so long range models typically have them. It's probably marginally more expensive but that's neither here nor there, it's mainly because you are getting a bigger battery.
The drawbacks are a not as robust chemistry and a more prone to thermal runaway than an LFP, and that they don't typically like to be charged to 100% and left that way for any period of time
@Jackson: yup I remember that being the case, it's good for those who like to go on longer trips and probably more worth it over LFP if it's the same price. But each to their own I guess, if it's just mostly city commute LFP all the way
Charge for servicing a car that doesnt need servicing then make it free to look like its a deal, great business model
Luckily cooling, suspension, steering and brake components never need inspecting, preventative maintenance or fail on EVs.
I can't wait for this black magic wizadry to be adopted into ICE vehicles.
My Model 3 Performance has only had one tyre change at 42,000 KM, and an AC cabin filter at 4 years. Into year 5 now and will require a NSW e-safety cert in a month, no doubt will pass easily. Tesla's own policy is very minimal.
Their reliability is also minimal (compared to other brands, cars overall are impressively reliable) from most reports.
@Dsiee: Model 3 has been the car that has caused me the least amount of pain in many years of being in position to drive new cars. After sales service is simple and painless. I'll drive this thing until it stops. My boss has one of the first Model S's in Oz and even that is going strong save having those stupid handles replaced.
@BlinkyBill: I'm in agreement. It's been so nice not having to take the car in for any servicing and deal with random dealer attempts to mark things up/ask for more money.
Sure some of the luxury brands try to make it a better experience with loan cars or pick up/drop off services, etc… but not having to do anything at all with the Model 3 LR (3 years now) has been a game changer.
In all honesty, none of that is on my Leaf service schedule (at least not to any consequence), brake fluids at 2 years which is overkill and coolant is at 15, everything else can be fixed when it goes
I’d prefer my suspension and brakes to be in safe working order rather than waiting for failure whilst I’m driving.
and before this deal, it was $412 per service for an G6 EV.
A RAV4 with an ICE and hybrid/battery component cost $270 per service.
I thought EVs have less running parts and so should cost less??? Doesn't look good does it.
It just a gouge, better to find an independent mechanic who can do it, although easier said than done with some of the new tech
Whilst that is the case, it's always a battle if something goes wrong with the car and you haven't been servicing the car with the manufacturer. Better to not accept this price gouging and take your business elsewhere.
@x d: At least with 5 years free servicing it's now moot. Some other companies are decent too, MG had 2 year intervals and prices were reasonable when I checked some time ago about the MG4
I drive more than 20000km a year. This 2023 "RAV4 Warranty and Maintenance Guide" I'm looking at says a RAV4 is due every 8000km. G6 is 20,000km. So it'd be 2.5 services on a RAV4 ($675) to each G6 ($412) service, and the RAV4's unavailable more. Even ignoring the offer, G6 servicing is cheaper and the car's available more.
RAV4s are good cars, but they feel last generation compared to a G6. I bought an EV but it wasn't a G6 because, as others have pointed out, the Xpeng distribution model was poorly executed. The nearest dealership to me is over 250km away.
Not sure what you are looking at but RAV4 service interval is 12 months or 15000km and has been for quite some time.
If you drive more than 20000km you are a minority. The majority will only need the RAV 4 serviced once per year, along with the G6 and is thus cheaper.
Had a 2023 RAV4 Cruiser HEV for 6/12. It was a far nicer and pleasant vehicle than my current TM3 EV. I'd go back to it if FBT exemption is removed from BEVs.
Will Xpeng have any dealerships to get the service done in 5 years?
Doubtful
Xpeng HQ should take a good look at how bad xpeng is selling here, new model is months late, g9 been promised and also late, then think about giving this dealer the boot (no pun intended)
Will Xpeng have any dealerships to get the service done in 5 years?
This kind of comments come up with every Chinese EV deals. I don't know but all I know is this: they are here while Holden is not.
2026 G6 facelift is releasing in few months. This offer is for existing inventory.
Needs a bit more than a facelift.
Current monthly sales very low, compared to Tesla and BYD they are only registering on average 100 cars a month, compared to Tesla and BYD who are in the easy 2 to 3 thousands.
The reason why you only have registration data to compare sales, because Xpeng refuses to release sales statistics.
If you think a nationwide car model can work selling at best a couple hundred cars a month, then this is a good deal.
Also be warned, wait parts are at almost 6 months, check the Xpeng Facebook group, a few post on this. I joined when I was considering an Xpeng but after hearing the issues and seeing the sales volume they were quickly removed from my list.
Shame, very nice car and test drive was impressive.
Agree, company trying very hard here in Straya
Username checks out
Leapmotor is another company with abysmal sales too, yet they're going ahead and releasing their cheaper B10 model.
Xpeng need to release a more budget friendly model. I really don't think they can compete in the premium EV segment here in Oz.
Agree. I think if Xpeng can release the equivalent of say a Geely ex5 or BYD atto that will get their name out there. Not come in with an almost 70K base model and nothing else.
Geely just bought out their hybrid version too. Other companies are doing a lot more in this space then Xpeng they need to learn a bit more about the Aus market
Agreed. I think even the Geely EX5 is outselling these. In my opinion, the G6 doesn't bring anything new to the table. Zeekr 7x does everything this does but better. It doesn't stand out in price, features, or looks.
The equivalent Zeekr is $10k more drive away though, that's pretty significant when it's nearly identical on features.
Head-to-head the Zeekr 7X has far better premium features & better experience. This is definitive and not speculation - go watch a review and it's the universal feedback.
If you want to be budget conscious then sure, compare 'feature to feature' to the the Geely EX5.
In both cases the Zeekr 7X and Geely EX5 have both outshone the G6 in sales (which aren't even officially shared). In 2 months Zeekr has outsold with the 7X than Xpeng in Australia has had the entire time for over a year of the G6.
@tommypickles: For 20% more it would certainly want to have some benefits! I test drove both and whilst the 7X is definitely the nicer vehicle, I don't think it's $10k+ better. It also doesn't have as large a service network as Xpeng (Which is saying something because the Xpeng isn't that great) and, to myself at least, it's not as good looking.
The EX5 isn't even close to the G6, not in terms of features, range or build quality. And that's fine, its price is quite a bit lower than the G6
Servicing network being ultratune who are anti ev?
Fwiw (not much), the Xpeng dealerships are/will become service centres apparently.
(What happens if/when Xpeng takes over from TrueEV, who knows…)
Great car, unfortunately let down by their distribution model through trueev. It was only 2 months ago where the ceo was saying there’ll be delivering 1000 cars each month. I’m yet to see one of these cars on the road.
Xpeng will ditch trueev in 2026
Is it mutual?
Seen a few myself. Not many.
I’m yet to see one of these cars on the road.
I've seen a few in Melb
Tbh, it takes more than a few months to establish a car brand and get sales beyond the hundreds to the thousands.
First deliveries occurred over a year ago
With so many of these brands and no doubt some good ev s there . Which ones are most trusted to be serviced or even be around in Australia after 5-10 years ?
Byd, SAIC (MG), GWM and Geely should be big enough to weather it.
Definitely think BYD and Geely will. Geely I had my doubts but after 6 months their sales figures are impressive and show no sign of slowing down. Sadly for Xpeng I can’t say the same, rarely see their cars on the roads, service centres and dealerships spread out like crazy and have such strong competition from Zeeker now who will prob take more market from Xpeng.
I would seriously hesitate dropping almost $70K on this car brand when Tesla and BYD have such a strong footing and obviously won’t fail or withdraw anytime soon.
Geely sales figures show no signs of slowing down? Their EX5 has been on the decline for the past 3 months. Sales have dropped from 500 to 250 cars per month.
@beesider: Oh wow when I was in the market 5 months ago I saw impressive figures. Surprised by the decline considering it’s a very good car for the price!
Same when Toyota and later the Koreans arrived. They still here.
Say companies like Daihatsu has vanished and may be a few more. It’s about hedging your bets I suppose
Daihatsu is owned by Toyota.
How about both?
EV servicing is basically nothing, so they practically give you nothing for free. And it won’t be around in 10 years. But guys, please buy it so Tesla can further lower their prices and I can finally afford one to replace my 15 year old Corolla, cheers.
A must have Tesla accessory is now 51% off from AliExpress. Fits all Teslas so you can it get before you order the car https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008725635971.html?src=go…
EV servicing is minimal for Tesla but for other EVs like xpeng (serviced by ultratune) or byd its suprisingly expensive to keep it serviced in order to maintain warranty.
Didn’t know that. This make these Chinese EVs even less appealing.
When I was comparing the model 3 to the byd dolphin I found car insurance was more costly on Tesla compared with byd, difference of about $700. Average yearly cost of service for byd over its warranty period is $300.
@blurn: Probably not a accurate comparison, would be more accurate comparing byd seal to model 3. I found the xpeng g6 similar price to tesla model y for example.
Go to pickles and get a Tesla there for less….They now have Battery health reports and so u can get one with a longer lasting battery for a good price.
Still seems a bit Xpengsive
So many yum cha evs coming out, i cant keep up with which is which
A$17,000 more expensive than in China
GST must be 5ish thousand…
Shipping from China to here must add 1k
Stanp duty?
I’m guessing those nice local dealership buildings and friendly staff offering drinks on arrival etc cost some $$$ more than my Chinese brothers.
To be fair, you should compare the 2024 model's price which is the one being sold in Australia right now. And that's about A$8000 in difference.
In comparison, Model Y RWD is just $2000 more expensive than in China
The cheaper 2025 model is an upgrade or downgrade compared to its 2024 model?
Test drove one in Coburg Vic and plesantky surprised. Its reslly premium, drives like a dream and ia properly packed with awesome features.
Didnt like that eveything is controlled via the touchscreen. Not a single physical control on the dash.
Tempted to novate lease one of this. But will wait for the new G6 to drop and maybe these will be far cheaper.
Yeah same here. Went for a test drive and really liked it.
Bring on the X9
Had a trip to China recently and was pleasantly surprised with these and Xpengs and the local price is very very decent (our Aus mark up making it much less attractive).
Pros:
- Surprinsgiy spacious
- Assistant was so much better than my Android Auto and Car Play
- Camera view etc very convenient and no delay
- Drive was pretty smooth, actually quite enjoyable
Cons
- Felt like the air con was pretty mediocre
I did model y test drive in 2023, I did feel same about air con. Not sure if this is addressed now
I reckon every BEVs have terribly weak aircon designs done on purpose to have minimal impact on range compared to aircons in ICE cars. My TM3's air con has been hopeless from new. Jumping into our Outlander PHEV's air con it is like night and day, so cold and powerful. But using it cuts the EV range by 15% immediately! Doesn't matter though as it has the ICE range to not worry on long trips.
Good, more competition the better
Like a G6, like a G6 🎶
