As the first model based on Xpeng Motors' SEPA2.0 “Fuyao” architecture, G6 will feature the EV maker's latest technologies in intelligent systems, power regeneration, and smart manufacturing.

Specifically, G6 will be equipped with the XNGP intelligent assisted driving system. So far, Xpeng Motors has opened up NGP functions for users in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, marking the official opening of XNGP’s first phase capabilities. XNGP’s second phase of capabilities is scheduled to be released in the second half of this year.
