As promised, XPeng Motors<\/a> has pulled the sheet off its fifth EV model \u2013 an \u201cultra smart coupe SUV\u201d called the G6. The G6 arrives as XPeng\u2019s first production model to sit atop its next-generation SEPA 2.0 platform architecture, enabling it to offer many new design and performance features, including a huge range increase. Have a look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While we admire XPeng Motor\u2019s fifth production EV this morning, it\u2019s worth recognizing how the Chinese automaker has evolved during its relatively short life in the segment. XPeng\u2019s EV lineup actually began with an SUV called the G3 in 2018, followed by the P7 sedan a year later. <\/p>\n

Next came the P5, which\u00a0we were able to test-drive<\/a>\u00a0with the P7 in Europe as part of XPeng\u2019s expansion into new markets. After the debut of XPeng\u2019s next model \u2013 another SUV called the G9<\/a> \u2013 the original P7\u00a0saw a refresh<\/a>\u00a0into the P7i. Both those models have the capability to eventually operate XPeng\u2019s\u00a0top-tier ADAS called XNGP<\/a> but are still somewhat limited by the automaker\u2019s Silicon Carbide (SiC) \u201cEdward\u201d EV platform.<\/p>\n

That will change with the G6 coupe SUV, however, as it is powered by XPeng\u2019s new modular SEPA 2.0 architecture, which also made its public debut<\/a> this week. XPeng Motors states that SEPA 2.0 will enable its future models to deliver the\u00a0latest smart driving, intelligent cabin, super fast charging, and superior performance. That begins today in China with the XPeng G6.<\/p>\n

XPeng\u2019s G6 promises superior technology, sets new standards<\/h2>\n

According to XPeng Motors, the new G6 not only represents its next chapter of EV innovation atop the SEPA 2.0 architecture but also several firsts<\/a> for the automaker and even the industry as a whole. The team states that the new coupe SUV arrives as China\u2019s only mass-produced, die-casted front and rear integrated aluminum body, including cell-integrated body (CIB) technology that optimizes cabin design with added vertical space and increased battery safety.<\/p>\n

Its design team aspired to create a \u201cdream car for the younger generation\u201d by combining striking exterior design with \u201ctech-fluid aesthetics,\u201d all with large amounts of interior space and amenities. Combined with SEPA 2.0 and the advanced ADAS capabilities of XNGP, XPeng looks to set new standards in the Chinese mid-size electric SUV segment with the G6. Per its chair and CEO, He Xiaopeng:<\/p>\n

\n

G6 is born intelligent, conceived through XPENG\u2019s technological ingenuity and relentless innovation to continuously set new industry standards in the era of smartification. We aspire to redefine the mobility experience of a broad customer base with streamlined configurations, outstanding performance, a unified immersive product experience and efficient development iterations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Much of the specs shared today were the same mentioned by XPeng during the SEPA 2.0 presentation a couple of days ago, but the automaker did share a few impressive numbers Chinese customers can expect to see in the G6 when it arrives.<\/p>\n

The coupe SUV\u2019s 800V Silicon Carbide (SiC) platform combined with 3C battery technology can deliver up to 755 km (469 miles) of electric range \u2013 a 71 km increase compared to the longest-driving models on XPeng\u2019s previous platform. The automaker also shared that the G6 will be able to gather 300 km (186 miles) of range after just 10 minutes on DC fast chargers, particularly XPeng\u2019s S4 superchargers in China.<\/p>\n

XPeng Motors says the G6 will be sold in China first, and its model name is only for that market. (Pontiac<\/a> may not be around to sue, but GM still is.) Still, we found it interesting that the coupe SUV was designed to meet the highest safety standards in two other markets outside of China \u2013 Europe and North America. <\/p>\n

Europe makes sense as the automaker is already selling EVs in several countries now, but XPeng has never given any inclination of intent to enter the US market. That\u2019s likely still the case, but it\u2019s still interesting that it wouldn\u2019t specifically mention safety certifications in a market it has never driven in.<\/p>\n

As for other pertinent details, like how the G6 trims will break down and what sort of pricing Chinese consumers can expect, well, that will come later. For now, check out the full reveal video of the XPeng G6 coupe SUV below:<\/p>\n
