Verdict
The Honda e:N1 is the less costly, smaller choice, and its eight-year/160,000 km manufacturer warranty plus head-up display give it real appeal for urban Malaysian ownership. But the Xpeng G6 asks RM10,048 more for a larger C-segment body, 571-litre boot and 480 km range, versus 344 litres and 410 km. Its 382 kW DC charging rating dwarfs the Honda’s 78 kW, while 248 hp and 440 Nm also cut the 0-100 km/h time to 6.94 seconds. The G6 is the more complete long-distance EV; the Honda suits buyers who value compact dimensions and longer vehicle warranty cover.
Pick the Honda e:N1 if you want the 4,380 mm-long SUV, a head-up display and eight-year/160,000 km manufacturer warranty cover.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you need 480 km range, 382 kW DC charging, a 571-litre boot and stronger rear-wheel-drive performance.
