What do you think about the result? Is this a Model Y challenger? 👇
i think its alot more interesting than the dated model y atm. I have actually preordered the RWD longrange version. Cant wait for them to land on Danish soil :)
Cool, delivery in August?
Model y is embarrassing looking. Tho to be fair, so is this. Xpeng all the way tho.
@@ItsOnlyElectric it will arrive to testdrive mid july, and then they gave a cautious midseptember date sofar. Might come before i have no idea how many preorders they have on them.
@@ItsOnlyElectric Also damn you stayed over night in my home town, Kolding. i could have served a nice Danish dinner for you and your brother :) maybe next time.
best EV in this section so far
Your shirts are mated throughout the trip. Real brothers! 🤣
Yes, of course! 🤣
Love this road trip, and the new XPeng G6 !!! It's a shame that EU have put tariff on Chinese BEV :(
Yes, agree. Hopefully the EU changes their minds and thinks more long term
@@ItsOnlyElectric Absoultely !!
@@ItsOnlyElectricTariffs or no Tariffs, it's already too late for the legacy European automakers, most will be extinct within the next couple of decades if not sooner because at the moment it looks like Tesla is the only one out there that can compete profitably against the Chinese EVs.😅
@eyeofthetiger6002 yes, that may be the case for a lot of legacy automakers.
@@ItsOnlyElectric do a review on the Zeekr 001 or the Range Rover killer BYD's U8.
I have a 755km/CLTC version G6 in China and it cost me 235,000 RMB in November last year.The farthest I've driven in one day is 1600km from Guangzhou to Chengdu.
Did u drive mostly in Eco or normal mode for this long distance?
@jansenwilder1335 Eco
I usually use normal mode.On the Chinese highway, Xiaopeng's NGP is very easy to use for a long distance travel and it will not make people feel very tired.It is also convenient to fast charge on the Chinese highway.
102 euros for 1700 km - it's a rather affordable trip, isn't it?
Yes, it is! A lot of travel for each Euro!
Guys, we need you both when the Onvo L60 is on sale in Europe. Please don't forget to review this car when it comes out.
Compherensive test with all numbers included. Awesome, just awesome! Thank you! This is my #1 car for the moment.
I am waiting for the BYD song L to arrive in Norway, if the price difference is to much it will be the G6.
@cocofifty4 Song L looks like a promising car
@@cocofifty4 although it looks promising, I think it will need a refresh soon. Also I have to admit; Song L is by far the best looking car in the whole BYD lineup.
I’ve been waiting for this video 🙌 I love the look of the G6. I would go for the rear wheel drive standard range as I don’t do many long journeys. And it’s going to be excellent value when it comes to the UK! It’s on my list for my next car (March 2025). Far more appealing than the Model Y for me. Great video 👍
Yes, finally had time to finalize the video. Thank you for your patience. Another video on the G6 on the way..
@@ItsOnlyElectric I’ll keep an eye out for the next G6 video being published 👀
Coolt, otrolig bil detta. Ser lovande ut. Tack
Yes, håller med. Tack för att du tittade. 👍
Great results in both consumption and charging time. Very impressive car and great informative video by you guys!
Yes indeed. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks you for watching 👍🙏
350 kw charging speed that is crazy.
Americans are terrified of running out of energy in the battery with huge faked up (by the manufacturers) range anxiety. Of course the new byd dm-I hybrids can go 2000 km on a 150 km charge and a tank of gas.
Great video!
Thanks 🙏
I am literally going to do this drive tomorrow. From Den Haag to Stockholm, with a Model 3. We do this every summer. Pretty fun route.
Nice, enjoy the trip and drive safe. 👍
@@ItsOnlyElectric By the way, last summer, superchargers in Denmark were significantly (like 3x) more expensive than the Netherlands and Germany. Now, it seems Germany is the most expensive one and Denmark is in line with NL. So a good strategy is to charge full before entering Germany, in Hengelo, and then go as far as you can to Denmark.
@mert5047 good info!
I love it! And your videos ...
Thank you! Glad you enjoy
Going to Utrecht tomorrow morning myself to test the G9 - very excited. Currently I own the LR Model Y.
Is there a way for the system to navigate you to Tesla's superchargers only on long journeys? Only because they seem to offer the cheapest charing rates as far as I am aware.
Nice! Please share your thoughts when you tried it. 👍
@DoganCakir currently ionity is cheaper. The routing adds the charger it thinks is most suitable for the journey. Didn't see any specific setting for selecting specific operators. But maybe will change with the new software.
So, I know it's not the right place here to comment on the G9 but I was blown away with everything it offered. Now, I have nothing to compare it to as Tesla Model Y is not a real comparison to the G9 but it was super quiet, drove so smooth and it felt like a real car 😁.
Couple of things I wish it had....
- No camera view when making turns. Really strange. Sales person said camera works on turns if the turns are very slow. But even then, I didn't see it working for me.
- This is not a deal breaker but the video quality on back/front cameras seemed a bit choppy compared to Tesla. It didn't seem as fluid.
Also some Good news... deliveries starting in August will come with Apple Car play and Android auto support. Unfortunately this will come at a €2000 price increase from what I was told. And another unfortunate situation is that, the current models will not get the Apple/Android support. Apparently they are doing a complete new hardware for the cars to have the Apple / Android support.
I actually really enjoyed their infotainment system including the navigation which is also getting a big update. It is getting TomTom on the back end for its navigation system at the end of the summer.
If I can convince my wife, I am definitely getting one in September or so.
That green btw on the performance model was just drop dead gorgeous.
@DoganCakir thanks for sharing your thoughts! The G9 is really a beast.
Wow! Bröderna"Hunk" is back!😁👍 Bra review,ni börjar bli superproffsiga🙏
Jag hade hellre köpt denna än Model Y,. Trevlig Midsommar på er🌹
Yes, vi kör tillsammans när tillfälle ges. 👍
Klart trevlig bil måste jag säga.
Glad midsommar!
Thank You very much for the video. I was on a trip to NL and back in May, and on the way back, we charged at Tesla in Bremen, close to those Outlet stores. We were HUNGRY when we arrived at the charging stop, but weren't really willing to eat more of gas stop sandwiches, so we happened to walk outside of it, and LO AND BEHOLD, "SCHNITZELHAUS" some 150meters from there.
Needless to say, we stayed for some 35-40 minutes, the car was charged, we were about to explode from the really good food (roll me back into the sea), and we continued our journey.
Another nice stop which happened to have chargers was Tyrstrups kro who have 300kW e-on chargers on their parking lot. It looks like a barn, or a shed, in the middle of nowhere, on the side of the motorway. I thought Google Maps was misleading me, but who would've know, real 300kW chargers.
Inside, food was exquisite, and the chef greeted us and told us a bit about the history of the place.
I've located the placed You visited during Your trip as the food looked really good (hope the taste was there as well), will be visiting. :)
Keep up the great work, cheers
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing your insight on nice places to eat along the route..🙏
We were really hungry when we stopped in Hamburg and really enjoyed that place.
Drive safe!
@@ItsOnlyElectric Thank YOU for your hard work, always a pleasure to watch the content you generate.
On a side note, to answer Your question whether this is a car worthy of being called a Tesla Model Y challenger - you'll probably be the one to tell us that, personally, I'd like to see a detailed overview of its software, as thats where Tesla truly excels.
Cheers
@zaneverovati model y comparison coming. Teslas software is hard to beat
Fantastic video. The driving characteristics of the G6 is interesting. But more interesting is your choice of food! 😂😎
🤣😂
Great video! As you probably know the customer cars will be deliverd with XOS 5.2 which brings a new UI and features. Would be interesting to know if they did any tweaks to the motors, inverters etc. to make it even more efficient.
Yes, software still not in place in this car. They will be fitted with the new software before deliveries start in august.
And 5.2 looks awesome!
What a great road trip with your brother! I will show this to my brother and suggest we go on an EV journey!
Perfect, do it! Perfect way to bond!
I am in the States, we have no access to cars like Xpeng. We have 100% tariffs on Chinese imports to protect our inefficient, overpaid union workers and bad auto company managers.
Don’t forget the awful dealership system………except for Tesla
Tesla has a giga factory in china..sadly no Chinese EV in U.S.. imports ? You're missing Zeekr, Nio, Xpeng,Byd and other sexy EV..
As my mom is from Hamburg, and I visited several times 40+ years ago, I really enjoyed seeing you stop off for a traditional meal. The G6 looks really nice, better than the Y in my opinion, but not available in the US (yet).
I will say, 2 drivers, with options to alternate sleep while driving, as well as sleep while charging, I'm surprised you stopped off for a night, that makes for a long trip.
We could have done it that way, taking turns sleeping but wanted us both to be active during the whole video
28:45 Same issue like the eGMP Platform. 800V and 400V tesla charger = 90kW. So it is a common issue with the 800V cars, and not special with the eGMP cars.
Thanks for sharing that. 👍
Bra video som vanligt! Jag kommer nog lägga en beställning på Performance 😅 provkörde den idag på Smista. Trodde inte jag skulle gilla ratten men den funkar faktiskt ganska bra. Något mjuk fjädring men det funkar för mig.
Tackar! Det är en förvånansvärt trevlig bil. Jag gillade fjädringen. Ratten ser lite tråkig ut men är bra.
Misstänker att du körde kväll / natt också? Hur är strålkastarna?
@kawwe79 körde i Danmark (Kolding) i mörker men blött väglag så mycket reflektioner..strålkastarna kändes sådär i det läget men var också sämre belysning på gatorna än vad jag är van vid i Stockholm.
@@ItsOnlyElectric Funderar mellan Kia Ev6 och Xpeng G6, viken hade du valt?
@kawwe79 jag hade valt g6 före ev6.
90 kW på 400-voltsladdare är förväntat - jag ställde frågan angående 400 volt och fick svar på betydligt högre men som jag säger i min video så trodde jag inte att det skulle vara så. Det är orimligt att bygga in en spänningsomvandlare som skulle lösa mycket högre effekt än så i en bil för detta priset. Audi & Porsches miljonbilar kommer upp i max 150 kW tillexempel.
Men i övrigt - bästa "roadtrip"-videon jag sett!
Har också fått uppgifter om att det skulle gå snabbare. Men är väl som det är..90kWh. är rött risigt.
Glad midsommar på dig! ☀️
Hva jeg kan lese på kinesiske forum så trekker G6 opptil 150 kw på "vanlige" 400v stolper (ikke Tesla). Det høres jo mer rett ut. Peter, det du skriver er at man ikke kan fovente mer enn 90 kw uansett 400v stolpe?
@@Tafsern Vi får väl se när vi har möjlighet att testa den igen - det finns inget med Teslas stolpar som gör att de skulle leverera mindre effekt vid laddning med 400 volt än någon annan 400-voltsstolpe.
@@PeterEsse Nei, du har rett. 400v lader er 400v, uansett fabrikat. :) Vi får se! Ser jo ingen grunn til at den skal levere 1/3 av kW, fremfor 1/2.
Mjukvaran i bil och laddare påverkar. Vet tex att supercharger v3 gick från 40 till 97kW efter uppdaterad mjukvara i stolparna för Kias och Hyundais 800V bilar.
Men gränser kanske ligger just under 100kW med nuvarande inverter. Hade hoppats på högre hastighet.
Mate! You should have told me you were in Kolding. I live over there. That would have been super cool to meet you, even for few minutes 😊
And I could have explain you how to pronounce Schnitzel and the Oida spirit 😬😅
I wish I would had remember that you lived in Kolding. Would had been great to meet up!! :(
Haha....yes, had some issues pronouncing both😅😅
Tesla chargers are 400 volt, so it depends on how good the HV booster is in the car if its a 800 volt :)
Be sure to choose the intelligent driving version, it's really easy to use, I'm a P7 owner, and I've used it for three years
Great review the G6 rocks. I wonder if you will ever review the bmw ix, its been in the market for many years now
Thank you! Waiting for the midlife refresh of the BMW IX end of this year.
@@ItsOnlyElectric I wonder how a $100k car that doesn’t even have double glazed windows compete in terms of interior noise. Maybe their Carbon fiber chassis might help with that
Yes me too. But even more important than the acoustic glass is the insulation in the doors and in the wheel arches.
@@ItsOnlyElectricoh I see. Yah you’re right
This car is now available for pre-order in Australia deliveries in last quarter of this year. That charge speed is amazing. How are the seats for comfort as your brother just before 8min mark noticed he was stretching or changing position in his seat so hope they are comfy. Efficiency is good as well overall. The limit on the supercharger sounds like other 800v cars like the Ioniq 5/6 also get the same limitation this car had. Wonder what the RWD version would have been like as should be more efficient and longer range.
Seats are very similar to the ones in Tesla Model Y.
@@ItsOnlyElectric I've rented a Model Y once to try it for weekend. Neither my kids nor I liked it, too minimalist and every time went through roadworks if a car was coming other way(not dual-motorway just 2-lane hwy) it decided to run away and car started slowing to zero so I had to take control every time. I don't remember the seat comfort to be fair don't think it was as nice as my new 2024 Kona EV from memory.
@TassieEV then the G6 may be a better choice for you. 👍
How was the navigation and the support for charging? Did it advise you where to charge like tesla? Can you use the navigation as a complete route planner? Thanks
Yes it did add charge stops to the route if necessary and if you confirm. But not perfect on the current software. Expect it to get better on the upcoming big update.
I had a short test drive in that car in Holland. What did you think of the symbols in the smaller screen? For me they where hard to read. Especially the speed signs. Did not know if you van make these bigger? Hope xpeng is fast with software updates. I ordered a g6 already.🎉 coming from a m3 I am gonna miss the dashcam function and sentrymode.😢
Symbols and text on the instrument cluster is way too small even if I have perfect eye vision.
Didn't find a way of changing font size on the instrument cluster. But hope that the new software will solve that. Still running on s beta software.
Do you know if xpeng is aware of the tesla charger problem? Does it have ota updates?
I think they are aware and maybe it's not possible to fix. Will try to get more info.
where is the location at the final ending?
Stockholm, Solna.
With this car. you could maybe do the trip in one day! maybe 20 hours if you were pushing it. would be nice to see. but not correct that you only charged 1 hour 9min, because you also AC charged over nights. so if you did the trip with 800V charging only, you could do it with approx 4 x 20-25min charging stops with total of 1,5 hours chargetime. very impressive!
Yes, in one go it will be as you say. Less than two hours of charging. But probably time it with food anyway.
Is the actual G6 able to react (slow down and accelerate automatically) to speed limit signs? Other manufacturers call it predictive ACC.
It does react but you need to confirm the change with a press of a button before it actually adjusts the speed.
Of course, it is above expectations, as all numbers are reduced to the strict warrantied, and they can be achieved by this vehicle when it will be 5 years old... Xpeng does not make any fake promises, and even promises far less than what they could promise .. Anything, especially the design, is very discreet, it does not look as it will look when you get used to your car and appreciate each centimeter inside it...
Yes, they usually seem to over deliver in a lot of range tests.
Did you guys coordinate your shirts for this video?
Maybe. 😉
Thank you for fixing the video fault.
Which fault?
Does it have the shenxing battery?
I think it's running with CALB packs
How do you stop the sunburn? The roof is permanently open.
It's tinted glass
Yes tinted. Works fine as in the Model Y.
Good to say you do not have a second car for your brother! The car can satisfy both of you and does not need a lot of time to recharge, as the driver does!
Very true!
91kW on the 440volt SCs was entirely predictable. That is the problem with 800volt it is too far ahead of many chargers.
At the same time, that`s 20kw more then I have ever gotten on my Enyaq iv80 2021, no matter which charger I`m on :D
Is there an LFP version?
Yes, Standard range version has a LFP battery.

Xpeng actually qualifies tier 1 autopilot after Huawei's AITO and Avatr, alongside Tesla, ahead of NIO and Li-Auto back in Mainland China, wonder if it is legal for you guys to test that function in Europe?
No probably not..but important to note is that Xpeng Europe only are on xpilot 2.5. so far from the latest hardware and capabilities as in China.
@@ItsOnlyElectric Noted, thank you~
@@ItsOnlyElectricXPeng announced they are aiming for NGP in Europe by year end.
@enigmatum yes, read that. But will probably be hard with FSD without lidar. But will see.
@@enigmatumAiming for highway NGP. Without LIDAR they won't offer city NGP, at least not in the current state. But they are working on totally leaving the LIDARS, but my guess is that that will require newer hardware.
Yes it is a model Y challenger , but even more than this, it is better than the model X for usability, even if smaller and nicer on long term as quality of components is not the one of a Chinese brand but even better than a standard European brand, and it does not have the problems that the computing system of the luxuous European brands have... Understand me well, European brands are not bad, but Xpeng is better, and so is probably Yangwang, but I did not test them in the long term...
Can you guys make a screen shot of average consumption ?
We have a lot..but on each stretch. Not possible to save the average of the whole trip
Can you access this?

@2kMario np
You have video blocking issues during your sit down in Gothenburg!
Thanks for pointing that out 🙏
Many things the Y lacks for alot less money. But the frunk is missing. I really don't understand why not all manufacturers can package as well as lucid/tesla by now. It's been soooo long.
Agree, I'm really missing a frunk on a lot of cars, actually most EVs..used my frunk on my model y today..
Jag kommer nog aldrig köpa annat än Tesla. Dem är bäst nog. 💪
Bra bilar, helt klart!
När ni laddar en 800v bil på en 400v laddare så hanterar bilarna det på olika sätt. Men dom flesta brukar landa runt 100 kWh som max.
Så är det. Men vet att den ska klara betydligt högre hastighet än 91kW. Men förmodligen kopplat till hur laddaren delar upp din output i steg.
Jeg trodde G6 halverte hastigheten på 400v? At den begrensningen på opptil 100kw kun gjelder f.eks nåværende G9 🤔 Men at Superchargers fortsatt er vanskelig softwaremessig.
I would have preferred videos about charging etc. This looks to me as in car and restaurant chat. But I know people have different taste. Anyway it's done well but probably not for me.
You get all the stats and info at the end. 👍
Utrecht is not Amsterdam. Amsterdam is merely a city in The Netherlands!
My bad! 👍
Hmm.. this is a brand new car the summer range is worse than a Mach e rwd long range. Though it charges faster. Interesting to se the the real numbers of consumption in 110kmh, 120kmh, 130kmh. But 18.8 is a good consumption overall.
And ofc the winter range my guess is if its better than a model y than its a slight win. And a slight win isnt worth trading in a current car for.
Its looks very good though
No, not worth changing but it's a legit alternative for new ev buyers
its also called weinerbread in danish :D
So save as in Sweden 🙂
@@ItsOnlyElectric Yes it is :)
This or the Nio EL6?
EL6 more premium and better looking car. G6 more affordable and better at charging. I would probably go for the EL6.
EL6 costs 50% more than the G6, no? So I'd rather compare the EL6 to the Xpeng G9 and would choose the G9 😊
Yes, that's a more fair comparison
@@nilsludwigable The G9 and EL6 are very similar. Range is a bit better as standard with the G9 but Nio you can temporarily upgrade batteries with more range than the G9. G9 has faster charging except if you battery swap in the Nio. Price and performance are very similar (top of the range G9). The build quality and material quality of the Nio is much better as is the service and ecosystem. Nio is also seen as more of a premium brand, in China anyway. I'd choose the EL6, that's why I bought one. 😂
@ecarpo3479 good summary
Netherlands to Sweden a long way to go? Interview the couple from POLE TO POLE.
Everything is relative of course and depending on what you compare it with. 😅🤣
Only 7 minutes into the video but I had to stop and say that the 'traditional Dutch' food looked really unappetising! :) Very dry. I doubt whether it is very traditional at all, but maybe someone from the region will inform us. Your brother looked very unenthusiastic when describing it :)
Haha...yes not over enthusiastic but we asked some locals and the staff that really told us it's a traditional dish.
I live in the Netherlands (not Dutch) and the food is awful. Yes those were traditional stuff but only the Dutch can tolerate it 😂
@DoganCakir haha!!! Sen den benim gibi türk yemeklerini alışmışın. 🤣👍
The consumption without average speed ...not very useful
99% highway driving. ~100km/h in average.
@@ItsOnlyElectric What's the aveg in the Model Y? Same speed
@GM-lq7sw haven't made the same trip but very similar according to my experience
@@ItsOnlyElectric thanks. Hence, this car its actually a very good car!!! On my list when they will release it in Germany....
@GM-lq7sw In august I have heard.
People complaining about amount of time charging are soon going to have to find a new excuse as to why EV's are bad. 😂
Yes most likely 🤣
I was one of those people. Then I had to realize that we always stop for about 20mins, so the kids can go to the toilet, get food and relax a bit.
Looking forward to new ID4 next month 😊
@linvilleb1910 very good insight! Hope youll enjoy your Id4.
Maybe looking at your brother as you talk to much 😅😊
🤣
What exactly was your aim with this roadtrip? Your consumption data is flawed - you didn't use the GPS distance and speed to correct for odometer errors, you didn't measure the consumption at constant GPS speed for a given GPS distance in a closed circuit (which is suposed to include a return through the same route). So, what gives? Working for sponsors? You keep comparing the car with the model Y but you forgot to mention to include a list of the mandatory maintenance and corresponding costs. And you didn't find absolutely any flaw which, of course, you found in the Model Y.
Distance measured with Google maps and consumption based on both what the cars claims and kWh charged. 🥳
So no, you are complaining without any basis.
And yes, it has its flaws. Watch out for the next video. 😉
The real problem with this car is its so ugly.
🤣🤣 looks better in other colors
Looks much better in real life.... Photos and videos don't do justice.
@@Tafsern I thought it looks just as bad in person the front of the car and the rear wheel arches look terrible.
Wow a Nio fanboi thinks an Xpeng is ugly, that is so surprising! :P
@@novon04 I think the G9 and P7 are not bad looking. I did consider the G9 but bought an EL6 because it’s just a way better built car. Xpeng made big improvements with the G9, the build quality is way better than their previous cars but it just doesn’t compare to Nio.

The final question though: how good/bad are the headlights? 🫣
Great choice!
About the headlights, limited testing during night. But not that impressed by them.
Want to add to the point that when I tried it during night it was wet outside. so bad conditions with a lot of reflections.
@@ItsOnlyElectric Thanks! A led bar might be a good investment 🤔 Going from Enyaq to this, I will miss the matrix lights, but I am so tired of slow charging, Škoda not delivering on their promises, the horrible and laggy infotainment and the total lack of updates. Test drove the G6 and it was like a breath of fresh tech air, same comfort and same noise levels. :)
