XPENG
Car Reviews

Founded in 2014 and based in Guangzhou, XPENG builds smart EVs that lean hard on in-house software, ultra-fast charging hardware and driver-assistance tech — a tech-first brand rather than a budget one.

At Cars&TechSG we've tested three XPENGs on local roads: the 2025 G6, the seven-seat X9 MPV with rear-wheel steering and air suspension, and the facelifted G6 PRO AWD Performance with 480bhp and 800V charging. Every review is honest, and aimed at buyers who want the real picture before they commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from buyers researching XPENG — answered from real driving experience.

What is XPENG and where can I see the cars in Singapore?
XPENG is a Chinese smart-EV maker founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou. It's listed on both the New York and Hong Kong stock exchanges, and is known for pairing its electric cars with in-house software and driver-assistance tech. In Singapore, XPENG's flagship showroom is at 281 Alexandra Road.
What changed between the 2025 G6 and the facelifted G6?
Quite a lot. The 2025 G6 we tested had 335bhp, 545Nm, a 77kWh battery, 0–100km/h in 5.6s and DC charging at up to 135kW (10–80% in 28 minutes). The facelifted G6 PRO AWD Performance moves to dual motors with 480bhp (358kW) and 660Nm, hits 100km/h in 4.1s, and uses an 80.8kWh LFP battery on an 800V architecture that peaks at 475kW, going 10–80% in an estimated 20 minutes. The boot grows from 540L to 571L, and the cabin steps up with Nappa leather, an 18-speaker Xopera sound system and ventilated, massaging front seats.
How fast does the G6 PRO AWD Performance charge?
It runs on an 800V architecture with a maximum DC charging rate of 475kW, taking the 80.8kWh battery from 10–80% in an estimated 20 minutes. On an 11kW AC charger, 10–80% takes about 10 hours, so overnight home charging covers daily use.
Is there a Cat A XPENG?
Yes — XPENG unveiled the G6 Air at the 2026 Singapore Motorshow and is positioning it for the Cat A COE segment. Our G6 facelift review lists its road tax at $1,560 a year, versus $5,087 for the PRO AWD Performance. We haven't tested the G6 Air yet; the three models we've reviewed are all performance-oriented Cat B cars.
Is the XPENG X9 a practical family car?
Very. The X9 is a seven-seat electric MPV with a 755L boot even with all rows up, a third row that adults can use, and an easy-entry function for getting in and out. Rear-wheel steering makes it far easier to park than its size suggests, and dual-chamber air suspension keeps it composed. It also has a 21.4-inch rear entertainment screen, 23 speakers and a built-in fridge. The 101.5kWh battery is claimed at 590km on the CLTC cycle; we saw around 480km in real-world mixed driving.
What are the road taxes for the XPENG models you've tested?
From our reviews: the G6 PRO AWD Performance is $5,087 a year, the 2025 G6 is $4,024 a year and the X9 is $3,163 a year. The Cat A G6 Air is listed at $1,560 a year.
