XPENG UK has today announced the upcoming launch of the new G6. The comprehensive upgrade to the G6 model introduces significant enhancements across performance, design, technology, and efficiency.
The new XPENG G6 is the latest model to launch in the UK market from the Chinese smart electric vehicle manufacturer, following the brand’s launch in February 2025.
The new G6 All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) Performance Black Edition will be available to UK drivers for the first time, delivering surefooted traction and searing performance. Equipped with dual motors, the AWD produces 358kW of power and 660Nm of torque, enabling the AWD model to accelerate from 0-62mph in just 4.13 seconds. Combined with XPENG’s sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and advanced chassis tuning, the Performance derivative delivers exceptional handling, stability, and driving dynamics.
The Black Edition features 20-inch black sport alloy wheels, smoked black exterior trim, which includes mirrors, window surrounds, and black brake callipers, and creates a more stealth-inspired premium appeal. Inside, drivers will find a grey-toned upholstery with a suede texture, underscoring the model’s high-performance attitude.
The new XPENG G6 utilises a new state-of-the-art 80.8kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. The advanced cell chemistry eliminates precious metals like cobalt, nickel, and manganese, offering a more sustainable solution without compromising performance. The Next-Gen 5C battery, combined with XPENG’s Full-Domain 800V High-Voltage SiC Platform, enables industry-leading charging speeds with a peak power of 451kW and delivers a 30% increase in battery lifespan.
As a result of battery evolution, the new G6 can now potentially charge from 10% to 80% in just 12 minutes, making it the fastest-charging EV in its segment.
XPENG has refined the new G6 with over 20,000 incremental developments. Enhancements have been made in many areas, including chassis and suspension tuning, steering dynamics, electric powertrain behaviour, battery management, and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels. The result is a more refined ride with exceptional stability, comfort, and vibration isolation, ideal for the challenging British roads.
The high-efficiency heat pump is now standard across all trims, preserving range efficiency during cold British winters. XPENG Heat Boost Technology warms the cabin efficiently without additional energy consumption, while the braking system ensures smooth control in both urban and motorway environments.
The new XPENG G6 features exterior styling enhancements, with a new full-width 1942mm Starlight LED light bar with integrated turn signals, creating a distinctive road presence. Body-coloured wheel arches replace the previous black cladding for a more cohesive look, and the matt grey XPENG logo has been repositioned for a more sophisticated appearance. A new rear spoiler adds 5mm to the overall length and enhances the vehicle’s stance and aerodynamics, complemented by a cleaner rear diffuser. The G6 maintains an impressive 0.248 (Cd) drag coefficient and is available in fresh colour options, including the new Stellar Purple.
Inside the New G6, new wood-grain dash trim adorns the cabin, with suede-effect ceiling material, and a fresh Dark Grey interior colour theme that creates a modern and luxurious atmosphere.
Practical enhancements include redesigned speaker covers, softer wireless charging panels (upgraded to 50W×2), and updated materials on the A and B-pillars. RWD Long Range and AWD Performance models feature an upgraded 9-inch digital inner rear-view mirror, while new ambient lighting designs on the door panels and front dashboard enhance sophisticated visual appeal.
Front seats now feature heating, ventilation, and massage functions, while the rear seats continue to offer a 12-level recline function for exceptional comfort. Luggage capacity is retained at 571 litres in the boot (expanding to 1,374 litres with rear seats folded), and the large centre armrest box can accommodate up to five bottles. The XPENG New G6 remains a genuinely practical for active UK families.
The XOS cockpit system delivers noticeable improvements over the current model, with faster app response times, smarter voice recognition, and ultra-smooth UI transitions. The enhanced “Hey XPENG” voice assistant now offers intelligent recommendations across four zones of the cabin.
Safety remains paramount. The battery features bulletproof-level protection with a 4-3-4 structural safety framework and ballistic-grade armour, capable of withstanding extreme conditions, including 1,000°C heat and 80 tons of side crush pressure, producing a 30% improvement in overall durability.
The comprehensive XPILOT ASSIST system, includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Centring Control (LCC), Enhanced AutoParking Assist, Remote Parking Assist with phone and key, Surrounding Video System, and seven airbags with advanced collision prevention systems across forward, side, and rear scenarios.
The XPENG New G6 will be available during Q1 2026, with pricing held at £39,990 OTR for the RWD Standard Range, £44,990 for the Long Range. The new dual-motor AWD Performance Black Edition will be available from £49,990 on the road.
