Verdict
At RM166,590, the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace asks RM6,642 more than the RM159,948 Xpeng G6, but its case is simple: seven seats, petrol refuelling and a 60-litre tank. The G6 is the quicker, roomier-on-paper EV, with 248 hp, 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, a 68.5 kWh battery and 525 km range. The Tiguan counters with 7.7 L/100 km and CKD assembly. If you need the third row, the VW wins; if not, the Xpeng has the stronger numbers.
