Verdict
The Xpeng G6 is the easier daily EV to justify: one rear motor, 248 hp, 440 Nm, 525 km range and a quicker 6.94-second 0-100 km/h time. The Xpeng X9 costs RM121,125 more and is slower at 8.2 seconds, but the money buys a much bigger seven-seat MPV, 721 litres of boot space, air suspension, rear-axle steering, powered sliding doors and a far richer second-row cabin. If you do not need seven seats, the G6 is the sharper buy.
G6
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want the lower price, quicker acceleration and a five-seat SUV that is easier to live with in town.
X9
Pick the Xpeng X9 if you need seven seats, a bigger boot and MPV comfort kit such as captain seats, air suspension and powered sliding doors.
