The Xpeng G6 is a strong competition against the Tesla Model Y.

We viewed both at The Everything Electric Show (Fully Charged Show) in Sydney.

A few weeks earlier, we took a G6 for a test drive at the XPENG Port Melbourne showroom (also pictured).

The Xpeng G6 and Tesla Model Y both have great tech, great efficiency, ventilated and heated front seats.

The G6 doesn’t have frunk storage, has small subtrunk storage, smaller boot, no glovebox, but has a bit more rear passenger room and probably more comfy seats. It has Apple Maps and Vehicle to Load (V2L). It is $10k cheaper, but requires paid regular servicing and and has longer warranty. It includes auto lane change (extra purchase on the Tesla).

The Tesla has faster acceleration, sportier handling, one pedal driving comes to a full stop without the brake, and has more fast charging options. It has a screen for rear passengers and powered rear seat folding. It has much more storage overall, including huge sub trunk, boot and frunk. It has a better sound system, even though it has slightly less speakers.
