The G6 is a nice car, however I bought the G9 with premium package. My work friends who are a driving a Model 3 and Model X were both very impressed by the tech and luxury of the Xpeng.
Yes the update for Model Y will be very important to stay competitive. A couple of years ago they had fast charging and range as their usp despite poor comfort and lack of some tech, today competitors have same or better range and much faster charging. Things are moving fast.
I really hope that Tesla doesn't just give Model Y the "highland treatment" and ACTUALLY updates it. Charging speed is so mediocre and it lacks so many features that should be standard on cars today.
@@Danne89 The charging speed for the model Y is not up there with the G6, but remember that the Y is only 15 minutes slower on the 1000km challenge, so oevrall a small difference.
In my opinion the comfort in the model Y except for really bad roads is good, slthough not ecellent. The suspension is not soft and therefore also firm on very curvy roads where it drives as well as the model 3. It is only 15 minutes slower on 1000km so the charging speed is ok. Of course it will get better.
Most reviews are on the driving. I look at it more from a passenger's experience. Quite frankly, I hate getting Teslas on Uber as the rides are hard made worse by the hard seats and headrest and short seat length in the back. The Xpeng addressed all those issues based on two test drives as a passenger in the G6 in the front and back.
Don’t kid yourself. Xpeng is a beta version of a tesla. The seats in the tesla have their own team dedicated to designing and making them comfortable in house . There’s more cons to a Xpeng vs model Y … they could of at least put sentry cams in it . That is a big no No ….
@@sheepyracing2774 I did my self test and my butt and head says Tesla seats are awful. As for sentry, I can easily install a Dashcam. BTW, how's the screen behind the Tesla steering wheel?
@@lukey08 no… he is discrediting the tesla , his review and experience on the G6 can’t be taken to the bank . I’ve not heard any review like his. But plenty have been done on teslas so I have grounds
Suspension in Highland is improved so I expect Juniper to be along similar lines. However, the improvements in the Highland, if projected onto Juniper, still don't impress me enough.
isn't Xpeng's strength in China its software and FSD? would seem Bjorn's biggest "but" re this car is extremely likely to become a major positive within the next 6-12 months via software updates.
Price differential varies between countries. In Australia, Tesla charge $3.5k extra for specific interior and exterior colours. Summon and level 2+ ADAS included in G6, Tesla charge $5k for enhanced ADAS in model Y. In Oz Xpeng offering free charger and home power supply installation. G6 has V2L and reclining rear. Xpeng have longer warranty than Tesla. Tesla has better ADAS and a frunk.
I find that the G6 being powered by NVIDIA chipset interesting, "By learning users' daily high-frequency routes, XNGP can provide an ADAS experience comparable to that of an experienced driver, even in areas without HD map coverage."
Would gladly sacrifice a bit of range for more traditional door handles. Whether they pop out or pivot I do dislike flush door handles so very much. There’s a few EVs on the market with actual door handles that get over 300 miles, so EVs can still work with real door handles and are better for having them.
Thanks Bjorn. We don’t have Chinese brands in Canada yet. Interesting car. Love our Model Y and its FSD supervised and all. - the software is a major component of any new car today. ❤❤❤
There is no guarantee that XPENG will keep providing updates, after for example 1 or 2 years. There is a risk that those improvements will never come for this car model.
@@zackwang9314 true, and with Chinese ev car manufacturers, you never know when. Only BYD is going strong in the mainland. XPENG and NIO isn’t doing that great. So, buyers needs to be very careful with those brands. I think that NIO will not survive.

Subjective some other very experienced guys like you had Aldo claimed it’s a very good car and software very good maybe depend on how knowledgeable you’re about the car before you can feel better.
God oppsummering! Det er absolutt mye potensiale. du nevner om noen bugs i programvaren, men det sies at den nye oppdateringen har rettet opp mange av de tingene du nevner. Kunne du tenke deg å prøve igjen og se om forbedringene faktisk har løst de problemene du opplevde?
My volvo v90 would not slow down in the (sharper) curbs and just cross the line with 'pilot assist' enabled. So for now maybe good it rather slows down. Let's hope for some improvement in the future.
Bjorn really liked the NIO ET5 touring. NIO is bringing out a sub brand Onvo L60 in 2 days which has similar measurements to the MY, it's 5k cheaper than the MY in China and does battery swap. Looks pretty good.
Thank you very much for the video, it is very interesting. I wanted to ask you if the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping is as bad as you say in the video. I am from Spain and they are introducing the G6 model in seven days and I was planning to go and test it to check directly if what you say in the video about the adaptive cruise control is true and it is as bad as you present it. Thank you.
Bjørn: Yes. But software can change quickly. But to be sure, you might want to wait until it really has been fixed. Otherwise you might be disappointed.
Bjorn, awesome video. I am currently looking for a family car. I am torn between M3 LR, ID.7, BYD Seal. What do you think ? Would you prefer a MS LR second hand or an ID.7 GTX new ?
33:30 : Every remotely responsible person living in a free country should be into "politics" at least to a certain extend when it comes to our freedom, basic human rights and preservation of the physical natural resources needed to survive as a species. All this is so fundamental that I wouldn't even call it "politics" but rather a no-brainer precondition before even actually starting thinking about politics.
Man if Elon wasn’t such a gigantic ass, I‘d at least consider a Tesla. Everytime he opens his mouth it‘d actively make my ownership of a Tesla worse. Right now I have a 5th Gen Prius and in 1-2 years I‘ll finally go fully electric by getting a Ioniq 5 or 6. A car company which makes great EVs and not drama.. imagine that! I’d rather have my data also misused by South Korea than China. I‘m seriously just thankful for the many options there are on the market nowadays. 🤷♂️
Ohhhh, I almost wanted this Chinese EV G6, but thank you for your all your test results and hard work! Fast charging. for now I really don't mind. I always charge it at home. I always use auto steering in my Kia e Niro, and it's really good! My wife cannot guessing if I am driving myself or the car, that's a good thing. So, that's why the G6 is NOT 👎 for me! 😂 Oke, Xpeng: please fix 🙏 those issues what Björn explained ( auto steering ) and maybe you have an another customer in the nearby future! 🎉 Also, thank you Björn for advising everyone and me including to buy my first EV: Hyundai classic Ioniq 28 KWh.
If you are not too bothered about “sending data to china” then it is definitely lovely car. I will see what Elon has to offer about his juniper then I make a decision to changeover from my old Y after lease ends next year. Auto parking itself cost $$$ if it were a Tesla
The big but will be when juniper comes out may blow it away Teslas software❤️Tesla supercharger ❤️it will be very interesting What warranty do g6 have?
Here in Norway, the warranties are : 7 years or 160.000 kilometers warranty (whichever hits first) on the car. 8 years or 160.000 kilometers warranty (whatever hits first) on high voltage battery, electrical motor, BMS and IPU units). 12 years Rust warranty. In addition, there is 5 years road assistance. 3 years paint warranty.
Elon is technically very smart, but as a Trump supporter there must be some seriously wrong in his brain. Can you support someone like Trump and not be either stupid, crazy or bad?
I think what is really important how annoying is a car in daily usage. There are not only numbers in charging what counts. It is not so imporant if you charge some minutes more in reality. And anyway by far not all fastchargers have 800 volt technology
As far as I know, among the top ten electric vehicle companies, Xpeng Motors' autonomous driving function is at the bottom. No, Ideal Motors is at the bottom, and Xpeng Motors is second to last.
I would love this car. But the software and partially self driving is a complete deal braker. Please keep us updated if they fix it. Tesla is still light year tears ahead of anyone.
Tesla is not light years ahead of anyone. I see this statement so often and then a lot of people (that didn't do their research) get disappointed when they find out that their new Y doesn't even have parking sensors, 360 camera, summon, ventilated seats, V2L, HUD and comes with lots of phantom braking + mediocre charging speed. There are no perfect cars. Tesla lacks in some and excel in others... Their infotainment and efficiency is amazing, the rest? Not so much. Here in Europe their charging network is not a selling point either since most stations are open for everyone.
@@Danne89 And that's my point the cheaper cars have a lot more bells and whisles Tesla can get most of them at an extra cost. But the software is no contest for the cheaper manufacturers to be a serious threat they need to spend more time getting that right then adding more bells and whisles.
I wouldn't be under any illusions that the Chinese will upgrade the car and fix software bugs, longer support is not their style. Their efforts always shift to the next new models, but what's already in production will probably stay as is.
This could depend on the brand, I know xpeng are always doing updates, same with NIO - even for older NIOs. It's the legacy auto that can't be bothered updating EVs.
Sikkert en bra bil, men anbefaler at folk analyserer selve merket litt dypere. Har selv jobba tett med merket internasjonalt, og opplevelsene der hører ikke hjemme her i Norge. Ikke i Kina heller for den saks skyld.

A heartfelt thank you from the XPENG team. We hope you enjoy every journey with the G9!
Hi Bjorn, Please send this video to Xpeng Norway and to the Eu headquarter as well. To fix these software issues. thx, A.from NL.
It is the vendor´s job to collect feedback.
Agree, totally their job, but would be nice if an user can raise the issue to help.
I'm pretty sure Xpeng, and other manufacturers that has ambition to better themselves do watch what Bjorn has to say ;)
Tesla has to up it's game especially when it comes to charging speed and the level of comfort if they want to still be competitive!

Thanks Bjorn. Didn’t get the model y due to harsh suspension. I might consider this car for a family car.
Wait for the new MY for the love of god.
New model Y is coming in 2025 and will probably have improved suspension. Hard suspension is a pet peeve for me also.
Suspension in Highland is improved so I expect Juniper to be along similar lines. However, the improvements in the Highland, if projected onto Juniper, still don't impress me enough.
Thank you for this summary! 😊

The long warranty comes with a price though. The service intervals are quite frequent and not exactly cheap.

Hi Bjørn, Tesla still on top for me. Best regards Martin
For me charging Speed of model y SR is fine. Faster is always better but It is no necessity for me. Nowadays EVs are badass!
Just curious, the G6 doesnt require hands periodically on the steering wheel on this auto / semiauto mode?
My volvo v90 would not slow down in the (sharper) curbs and just cross the line with 'pilot assist' enabled. So for now maybe good it rather slows down. Let's hope for some improvement in the future.
Hopefully Bjorn compare the Onvo L60 soon.
Which would you choose between EL6 and G6??
el6 is more expensive.
Bjorn really liked the NIO ET5 touring. NIO is bringing out a sub brand Onvo L60 in 2 days which has similar measurements to the MY, it's 5k cheaper than the MY in China and does battery swap. Looks pretty good.
I’m getting my G6 in about 2 weeks, however I’m disappointed to see it doesn’t have the camera assist when changing lanes 🤔 or have I missed something
Would never choose G6 or Model Y over my IONIQ 5. Still my fav! Looking forward to the MY25 IONIQ 5 (refresh) tests.
Are you satisfied with 12 Volt battery and ICCU reliability?
