Verdict
The Omoda Jaecoo J7 costs RM138,800 to the Xpeng G6’s RM159,948, a RM21,148 saving that buys a petrol SUV with a 51-litre tank, 7-speed dual-clutch and full-size spare. The G6 justifies much of its premium for an EV buyer: its 248 hp/440 Nm rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 6.94 seconds, against 9.2 seconds, while its 68.5-kWh battery claims 480 km and can DC charge at 382 kW. It is also 258 mm longer with a 571-litre boot. Pick the J7 for lower entry cost and its longer 7-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty; pick the G6 for electric performance and space.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J7 if you want to save RM21,148, retain petrol refuelling and carry a full-size spare tyre.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want a 480-km EV, much quicker 6.94-second acceleration and a larger 571-litre boot.
