Hyundai Tucson vs Xpeng G6
Verdict
The Hyundai Tucson is the cheaper, more familiar petrol SUV at RM143,888, with a 2.0 litre engine, 154 hp and a slightly larger 582 litre boot. The Xpeng G6 costs RM159,948, so the RM16,060 gap buys a 248 hp rear-driven EV with a 68.5 kWh battery, 525 km range, a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time and AEB. For a Malaysian buyer, the Tucson looks safer on upfront cost and warranty length; the G6 answers with performance, EV running and lower RM240 road tax.
