New XPENG G6 set to arrive in the UK in 2026

Chinese EV manufacturer XPENG has announced the upcoming launch of the new G6 in the UK/, which sees significant enhancements across performance, design, technology, and efficiency.

The new XPENG G6 is the latest model to launch in the UK market, 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. 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 and has an all-wheel-drive system and advanced chassis tuning.

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 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.
