The restyled Tesla Model Y and the XPENG G6 face off in a duel of electric SUVs of which only one will remain.
The highly anticipated 2025 Model Y now sports a bolder, Cybertruck-inspired design with front and rear light bars, while XPENG’s G6 features an aggressive coupe look with distinctive LED lights . If the Model Y remains the choice of those who love Tesla minimalism, the G6 makes a strong impression with a much bolder aesthetic.
In terms of performance, while waiting for the Performance 2025 version, the new benchmark at Tesla is the Great Integral Autonomy which delivers 444 horsepower, offering 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, slightly slower than the XPENG G6, with its 476 horsepower which goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. The latter’s XPilot system provides advanced driving assistance, perhaps a step beyond what Tesla offers. Let’s wait to judge until we know a little more about the American news.
The Model Y promises an impressive range of 719 km according to the Chinese CLTC cycle in the Long Autonomy version. Huge, but compared to the European WLTP cycle, this figure melts like snow in the sun to stabilize at 551 km, just at the level of the XPENG. But with charging up to 250 kW, the Tesla does less well than the G6 which stands out for its ultra-fast charging thanks to its 800 volt architecture, reaching 80% in 20 minutes.
Inside, the Model Y has been revised with better soundproofing and an 8-inch screen for rear passengers, staying true to Tesla’s minimalist approach. The G6 offers a more luxurious interior with quality materials, ventilated seats and record soundproofing to highlight a top-notch audio system, providing superior comfort.
In terms of price, the Model Y should be available around 47,500, which puts it in a similar price range to the G6 once the Eco Bonus is deducted. Provided of course that it is produced in the Giga in Berlin.
Ultimately, if the Model Y seduces with its Tesla heritage, its charging network and its new design, the XPENG G6 impresses with its advanced technologies, its comfort and its charging speed, offering an attractive alternative for those looking for something different.
