Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the Xpeng G6 is the sharper buy on the numbers: it costs RM31,940 less, yet its 248 hp, 440 Nm rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 6.94 seconds versus the Koleos’ 171 hp, 226 Nm and 9.5 seconds. Its 68.5 kWh battery is rated for 480 km, with 11 kW AC and 382 kW DC charging. The Renault counters with a lighter 1,540 kg kerb weight, a full-size spare and a longer 150,000 km vehicle warranty, but its 2.5-litre petrol road tax is RM830 yearly against RM240.
Pick the Renault Koleos if a full-size spare tyre, front foglamps and a five-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty matter more than EV pace and driver assistance.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want lower purchase and road-tax costs, a 480 km-rated EV range, much stronger acceleration and a broader safety suite.
