Verdict
At RM143,888, the Hyundai Tucson undercuts the Xpeng G6 by RM16,060 and brings a larger 582-litre boot plus an eight-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty. The G6 costs RM159,948, but its 248 hp, 440 Nm rear motor is a major step up from the Tucson’s 154 hp and 192 Nm petrol engine, while 480 km of EV range and 382 kW DC charging suit buyers with dependable charging access. It is also longer and roomier between the axles, with markedly stronger driver-assistance and cabin equipment. The Tucson is the lower-risk choice for long warranty cover and luggage capacity; the G6 is the much more capable EV for the extra money.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you want to spend RM16,060 less, carry up to 582 litres of luggage and have an eight-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you have charging access and want 248 hp, 440 Nm, 480 km range, 382 kW DC charging and adaptive driving assistance.
