Verdict
At RM169,000, the smart #1 costs RM9,052 more than the Xpeng G6, yet it is the quicker car to 100 km/h at 6.7 seconds and is far easier to place in town at 4,270 mm long. The G6 makes the stronger practical case for Malaysian buyers: its 68.5 kWh battery delivers 480 km of claimed range against 315 km, its DC charging peaks at 382 kW, and its 571-litre boot is 160 litres larger. Pick the #1 for compact performance; pick the G6 for distance and luggage space.
Pick the smart #1 if you want the quicker 268 hp, 6.7-second EV in a 4,270 mm-long package that is easier to manoeuvre.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you prioritise 480 km of claimed range, 382 kW DC charging and a 571-litre boot for less money.
