2026 XPeng G6 driven! Is this China’s biggest threat to Model Y yet?

Join Wookie for the first UK drive of the upgraded XPeng G6, a car declaring over 20,000 engineering enhancements and aiming straight at the class benchmark, the Tesla Design Y.
XPeng hasn't simply tweaked this electrical SUV … they've rebuilt it. There's a brand-new battery, which thanks to its 800-volt platform, is capable of charging from 10-80% in roughly 12 minutes. The 2026 G6 likewise comes with modified suspension tuning, smarter software and a much more refined interior, all developed specifically for European roads and drivers.
So is this lastly the genuine Design Y challenger? or just another anonymous Chinese electric SUV attempting to blend in?
In this video Tom gets behind the wheel for the first time to learn how it really drives, whether the tech measures up to the buzz, and, most notably, if it is worthy of a put on your shortlist.

    G6 if you like mYP more, G9 if you like comfort instead.

    You never talked about Xcombos you missed a big trick there. You can even automate the process to turn off the bings and bongs as you start the car.

    well, Tesla is already dead in the water in Europe thanks to its much-despised CEO.

      They haven’t done one since late last year for whatever reason

    They’ve had voice recognition since the G9 launch a few years ago. The only downside to Xpeng? Its slow rollout in Europe.

    I orderd one, I hope I will get it in march. Main reason is the good price and the chargingspeed. Even i mostly charge at home, I hope at least that I will do some more roadtrips with my wify

    The first manufacturer to measure the distance between doors and restrict opening to stop dings win my vote.👍👏

    Waiting for delivery of my G Performance in March.
    I went backwards & forwards with test drives of model Y and G6, my view …G6 is easy winner. It has so many features as standard, and the drive……fantastic. Range on par with Tesla. O the other reason, not a fan of that idiot M

    Does it have the party mode that the older P7 used to have?

    Really wish we had these options in the US.

    XPeng did some really big updates to the new G6. The biggest being going to an LFP battery (being more robust and user-friendly), and increasing charging speeds even more to 451 kW, a new outside and inside design is upscale with better materials, and physical vents are back!!!!! Now I think the new G6 is much better than competitors like the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7.
    I can’t wait to see XPeng bring the stunning new P7 to Europe — for me, it’s the EV of 2025!
    Tom, when are you getting behind the wheel of the new XPeng P7+ that’s arriving in Europe this year?
    Great video, keep it up TEAM!
