Honda e:N1 vs Xpeng G6

Xpeng G6

Xpeng G6

Verdict

The Xpeng G6 asks RM10,048 more, but brings a larger C-segment body, 480 km range, 571-litre boot and a huge 382 kW DC charging ceiling against the Honda e:N1’s 410 km, 344 litres and 78 kW. Its 248 hp/440 Nm rear-drive powertrain is also quicker. The Honda counters with a far lighter 1,662 kg kerb weight, a head-up display and an 8-year/160,000 km manufacturer warranty versus five years/120,000 km. For Malaysian buyers who travel often or carry family luggage, the G6’s practical and charging advantages justify the gap; the e:N1 suits those prioritising lower upfront and road-tax costs.

The G6 AWD Performance (RM190,708) sits above every e:N1 variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
