Xpeng G6: Packed with tech, comfort and sleek styling, great for family SUV drivers
From only $202 per week
Great fast-charging SUV in a growing electric SUV segment
Xpeng, one of the newest brands in Australia, has come up with a tech-driven electric SUV, offering more options in the mid-sized electric SUV segment. Think of it as a slightly more comfortable and ergonomically friendly version of Australia’s best-selling electric car, the Tesla Model Y. Xpeng offers a lot in a single package, ideal for family car buyers.
Moving inside the Xpeng G6 gives you a tech-heavy interior but without losing out on things many family car buyers like, such as multiple screens and physical buttons. Speaking of which, there is a big touchscreen that takes up much of the centre dashboard. The screen itself is fully customisable with shortcuts to make your drives easier. Whether it's turning on ventilated seats in summer or having Spotify at your fingertips, the customisation makes it very easy to get used to. There is also plenty of space for passengers and in the boot, ideal in a family SUV.
The Xpeng G6 has been one of the more popular models from the recent onslaught of Chinese EV manufacturers. Its styling, practical space, five-star ANCAP safety rating and the tech it packs, make it quite an exciting option too. With so many features, ideal for family electric SUV buyers, it should definitely be on the test drive list. As the brand continues to open multiple showrooms in most major states across Australia, many more buyers will experience what is a genuinely good offering in this very popular segment of the market.
Performance
Xpeng G6 is a very practical electric SUV that is packed with tech and Performance in mind. Starting with the Standard Range model, which delivers smooth acceleration and has multiple modes. This is continued in the slightly more powerful Long Range variant which not only adds range, but that addictive instant torque boost too.
The Standard Range variant delivers 435 km of WLTP range with 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 6.6 seconds, thanks to the rear-mounted motor. This is boosted in the Long Range variant, offering 570 km of range yet providing a fairly zippy car when driving in traffic or around town. The G6 has range, power and much more.
On the road, the G6 is geared more toward comfort than the sportiness you might get from the Tesla Model Y. Having said that, there is a Performance variant which is expected to be here in the second half of 2025 so well worth a wait for those seeking the thrill on the weekends by driving up swooping roads.

Verdict
The Xpeng G6 has clearly blown many drivers away with how good the car is on Australian roads. Combined with the tech, space, swift acceleration, fast charging abilities and a fairly efficient drivetrain that provides good range, it’s one of the closest competitors to the very best in the market. For many family electric SUV buyers, the G6 will not only tick all boxes, it’s exceed expectations at all fronts. Given what’s in store for Australian drivers in the coming years from the brand, the G6 is a must-have contender on your test drive shortlist.

Learn more about how a novated lease works from start to finish. Our expert consultants can also answer any questions, so you can sign up with confidence.
Find my best deal
Is there a minimum salary to get a novated lease?
No, there is no minimum salary to get a novated lease.
Novated leasing approval is dependent on your capacity as a borrower much like traditional finance. This means you need to illustrate your ability to meet regular repayments over the term of the lease.
Chat with one of our experts about how much you may be able to borrow.
How long will my novated lease be?
The term of the lease agreement is completely up to you.
Generally, terms of one to five years are available under a novated lease.
The length of the lease term will determine your repayments and your residual.
What's the minimum and maximum value of car I can get?
The amount you can borrow for a vehicle will vary depending on the lender.
In general, the minimum novated lease amount is $10,000, while higher amounts (up to $500k) are subject entirely to the repayment capacity of the applicant.
Chat with one of our experts about how much you may be able to borrow or check out our novated lease explained guide.
Can you help me get a novated lease anywhere in Australia?
Can I buy a used car with a novated lease?
Yes, you can buy a used car both privately or through a dealership.
Some financiers will allow the vehicle to be up to 15 years of age at least end.
Buying a used car from a dealership will also still see you save the GST on the purchase price. Find out more by visiting used cars through a novated lease.
Can I get a novated lease if I work for my own company?
Salary sacrificing a car through a novated lease can be suitable for a business owner who is also an employee of their own company, but it’s only an option if the business owner is receiving a salary from the company they own.
If you are planning to leave your current employment to start your own business, you can transfer your novated lease, provided you are paying yourself a salary.
If you are self-employed – i.e. are not paid a salary or paying yourself a salary through your own company – you will need to look at alternative forms of vehicle finance.
What happens at the end of a novated lease?
You have a few options available at the end of your novated lease term:
Upgrade - most of our customers tend to upgrade their vehicle, your expert consultant can help you find the right upgrade for you and even help you sell your current vehicle to help pay out the residual. If the sale price is higher than the residual, you keep that profit - tax-free!
Extend - If you want to keep the same car and continue enjoying the tax savings, we can help you refinance the residual amount for another term of your choice.
Own outright - Pay the residual amount (including GST) at the end of the lease term to own the car outright
What happens if I leave my current job during a novated lease?
If you leave your job during the term of your novated lease, you will still be responsible for making the finance repayments on the vehicle.
The lease will be de-novated, where the running costs are removed from the agreement and repayments work much the same way as a standard car loan.
If you are going to a new employer who offers novated leasing as an employee, you may be able to transfer your novated lease over under a re-novation, or request Novated Lease Australia set up as a partner.
