Omoda Jaecoo J7 vs Xpeng G6
Verdict
The Omoda Jaecoo J7 is the cheaper petrol choice at RM138,800, and the Xpeng G6 asks RM159,948, so the RM21,148 gap buys a proper EV package: 248 hp, rear-wheel drive, 6.9 seconds to 100 km/h, 525 km range and a 571-litre boot. The J7 counters with a 1.6-litre petrol engine, 51-litre tank, lower RM120 road tax and longer seven-year warranty. Both are C-segment, five-seat SUVs with seven airbags and AEB, so this is petrol convenience versus EV pace and space.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J7 if you want the lower entry price, petrol refuelling, a seven-year warranty and cheaper RM120 road tax.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you can charge at home or work and want stronger performance, rear-wheel drive, more boot space and 525 km of EV range.
