smart #3 vs Xpeng G6
Verdict
At RM175,000 versus RM159,948, the smart #3 asks RM15,052 more but gives stronger straight-line shove: 268 hp and 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds against 248 hp and 6.9 seconds. The Xpeng G6 answers with the numbers Malaysian EV buyers will feel daily: a 68.5 kWh battery, 525 km range and 571 litres of boot space, all well ahead of the smart’s 49.0 kWh, 325 km and 370 litres. Both are CBU, rear-drive, five-seat electric C-segment SUVs with seven airbags and AEB.
Pick the smart #3 if you want the quicker, more compact rear-drive EV and can accept the shorter 325 km range.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if range, boot space, warranty and price matter more than the smart’s stronger acceleration.
