These engineering technologies also help achieve excellent body rigidity – designed to meet the highest safety standards in three main global auto markets: China, North American and Europe. G6’s chassis tuning, meanwhile, is optimized by a German professional team for stirring sporty performance.
G6 Fantastic Body Design
G6’s body design is inspired by science fiction and developed in consultation with Sci-Fi legend, Cixin Liu. Its sleek lines derived from fluid mechanics deliver an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.248Cd. G6’s 17 optimized anti-drag design features help achieve its outstanding range. The body design also features the golden ratio for superior handling and modern coupe style. G6’s front face design incorporates the XPENG family’s signature design language with a more expressive robot face.
Short front and rear overhangs deliver superb control without compromising space. Its 2890 mm wheelbase gives generous inner space. Low 540 mm barycenter, and 50:50 front and rear axle load, ensure better aerodynamics and corner control speed. G6’s suspended roof design offers spacious headroom, while the long wheelbase allows roomy rear seats, maximizing driving enjoyment with abundant comfort and space. The G6’s body styling also features the XPENG family’s signature style incorporating vanishing surfaces, broad shoulders, an adaptive drag-lift electric tail, a panoramic sunroof measuring over 2 square meters.
G6’s Interior Design – Tech-savvy. Eco-friendly. Comfortable. Healthy.

In addition to a newly designed Napa leather steering wheel, air vents that are electronically controlled from a 15” IP screen bring customers a tech-savvy design style imbued with comfort and wellness. The G6 also offers immersive cabin comfort, supported by ergonomic seats throughout and front seats, with ventilation and heating, power adjustment, position memory and a welcome function. Additionally, G6 emphasizes material quality in its seat upholstery, adopting childproof, stain-resistant, anti-bacterial organic silicone fabric and microfiber suede for a salubrious, easy-to-clean cabin with air quality 3-10 times better than international standards.
