2026 XPeng G6 driven! Is this China’s biggest threat to Model Y yet?

Join Wookie for the first UK drive of the updated XPeng G6, a car claiming over 20,000 engineering improvements and aiming straight at the class benchmark, the Tesla Model Y. XPeng hasn’t just tweaked this electric SUV… they’ve rebuilt it. There’s a new battery, which thanks to its 800-volt platform, is capable of charging from 10-80% in roughly 12 minutes. The 2026 G6 also comes with revised suspension tuning, smarter software and a much more refined interior, all designed specifically for European roads and drivers.  So is this finally the real Model Y challenger? or just another anonymous Chinese electric SUV trying to blend in? In this video Tom gets behind the wheel for the first time to find out how it actually drives, whether the tech lives up to the hype, and, most importantly, if it deserves a place on your shortlist. #XPeng #XPengG6 #TeslaModelY 🎥 Subscribe to Electrifying YouTube: https://electrifyingcom.short.gy/KK1pbX 🎧 Electrifying Podcast: https://electrifyingcom.short.gy/Pogjfb ✉️Electrifying.com Newsletter: https://www.electrifying.com/newsletter Follow Electrifying.com ⬇️ INSTAGRAM:   / electrifyingcom   FACEBOOK:   / electrifyingcom   X:   / electrifyingcom   TIKTOK:   / electrifyingcom   ——————————————————————————————- Check back for the latest new car reviews on everything electric ✅ the latest car reviews ✅ car advice and explainers ✅ used and new car guides ✅ head-to-heads WANT MORE ELECTRIFYING.COM?
