Verdict
At RM169,000, the smart #1 costs RM9,052 more, yet its 49 kWh battery manages only 315 km against the Xpeng G6’s 68.5 kWh and 480 km. The #1 is the nimbler city choice at 4,270 mm long and reaches 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, marginally ahead of the G6’s 6.94 seconds. But the G6 gives Malaysian families a 571-litre boot, 382 kW DC charging and useful front-seat ventilation. Its 800V architecture is the stronger case for frequent longer journeys.
The #1 Brabus (RM249,000) sits above every G6 variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the smart #1 if you want the shorter 4,270 mm SUV, 268 hp and a slightly quicker 6.7-second 0-100 km/h time.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want 480 km of range, a 571-litre boot and much faster 382 kW DC charging for less money.
