Verdict
At RM191,888, the Koleos costs RM31,940 more than the RM159,948 Xpeng G6, yet its 171 hp/226 Nm petrol four and 9.5-second 0-100 km/h time are well behind the G6’s 248 hp/440 Nm motor and 6.94 seconds. The G6 also gets a 68.5-kWh battery, 480 km EV range, 382-kW DC charging and RM240 annual road tax against RM830. It is 86 mm longer and 77 mm wider, with a 571-litre boot. The Koleos counters with a full-size spare and 150,000-km vehicle warranty. For buyers able to charge, the Xpeng is the clear numbers-led choice.
Pick the Renault Koleos if a full-size spare tyre and the longer 150,000-km vehicle warranty matter more than acceleration, EV charging and driver assists.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want to save RM31,940 while gaining 248 hp, 440 Nm, 480 km of EV range and a fuller active-safety suite.
