Overview
The G6 Long Range pairs the 87.5kWh battery with XPeng’s 800V charging architecture, producing both the range and the charging speed that make the car a genuine touring proposition. 570km WLTP covers Sydney-Canberra without stopping and Sydney-Melbourne with one planned charge.
At $62,900, the G6 Long Range positions itself between the Kia EV5 Air LR ($64,900) and the Geely EX5 Complete ($54,900). The XPeng’s advantage is technology depth — the XNGP driver assistance system, the in-car AI features, and the 800V charging speed that matches the best available on the market.
