It's a great car the G6, I really like it. Feels very easy to get along with, just comfortable right from the start, no fuss, just feels right. Their best car yet 100%. The ADAS is really good too and I keep getting invites to try the updated version so I'll get round to that at some point.

How is the software? here in Sweden the G9 has had some softwareproblems...

@@Danjon1235 The G6 has been updated to the XOS 5.1.1 system, which offers new features such as AI Driver, split-screen display, and Auto Park. My system version is 5.1.5 Beta, and the top speed for autonomous driving within the city has reached 100 km/h. Using the AI Driver feature, the car can learn my driving habits and use autonomous driving (NGP) on almost all roads, no longer limited to highways or main roads. Upon reaching the destination, with the Auto Park feature, I can simply get out of the car, and it will automatically find a parking spot and park itself. Overall, the new XOS system works well in China. There are a few minor bugs, but they don’t significantly affect usability. I haven’t encountered any major software issues. After using the AI Driver, the coverage of autonomous driving (NGP) during my commute has increased from 75% to approximately 97%. Unfortunately, the current system version only supports 10 AI Driver routes, which is barely enough for my daily use. Compared to the AI Driver, although the success rate of Auto Park is very high, it can be quite awkward if it fails to park. In the new version, I have used Auto Park more than 200 times, but there was one instance where it failed. Confidently, I got out of the car and went home, only to receive a notification on my phone that the parking attempt had failed. Embarrassed, I had to run back to the car to park it manually.

Thank you very much. There's really some talent out there at the moment. This car's standout for me was just how easy it was to get along with. Comfy, well equipped, talented, spacious, really pleasant performance, like a pair of slippers. Regretted having to say goodbye to it.

Thanks very much. Glad you're enjoying them.

Glad you like them. I like the G6 a lot, it's a very complete car, if you get it, you'll enjoy it I'm sure.

I really enjoyed this car in my week with it. So easy to get on with.

The roof shades come as a free accessory, at least in China.

Nice!

Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, even the UK is going to get this end of next year, so I'm pleased about that, more people get the chance to drive these cars.

If the UK will be getting this car....maybe, just maybe it will eventually be marketed in the US. The big three here in the US are scared that the Chinese electric cars are far superior. From what I have seen....they should be.

@@magnatarbeing8749 fully agree

I like this word mooie. Have no idea what it means but I like it.

It is an issue to be honest. I've had another one this week for an article I'm writing and it's quite a handicap looking backwards. You've got your side mirrors of course but it might be worth them installing one of those digital rear view mirrors to counter the window. If it's not a tall car behind or it's too close, you might not know anything is there. Best just staying aware of your surroundings.

Oh don't worry, they've got plenty of alternatives, as you'll find on my channel. Hope more of those make it and a bit less of the SUVs.

It is coming to the UK, so that's the good news, end of next year roughly. As for price, we'll let's just see on that. Almost certainly it'll cost more sadly.

Most likely. If you're lucky, it'll come in beneath the Y but without European manufacturing might be a struggle.

@@InsideChinaAuto Think it's worth mentioning the price caveats when listing GBP pricing for China EVs.

@@scottelkington7661 Sure. Will make a point of it in future.

BYD Atto 41k USD and BYD Tang 65k USD in Norway. (Of course in NOK, but USD equivalent.) So yeah, we are being ripped off.

@layseebalsam Good job you're all loaded in Norway (at least that's what we all think must be the case).

Glad you enjoy the reviews my friend, and indeed, I have a wonderful community, I just don't know how to reward them. This is a great car though, the defining feature being how easy it is to simply get along with and drive. It feels homely, and i love the colour, even if it makes me self-conscious.

Price is the risk at the moment, especially with the price war and the speed of improvement, but it'll settle eventually. The G6 is a great car.

Haha, I see what you mean. Pretty cars those too.

Not on the Chinese version but I predict there will be one on the European version.

Exactly that. They're not ready for this era, falling over themselves to work out what technology means.

Catch up with what technology?

@@m.a3914 Autonomous driving and infotainment for starters.

@@InsideChinaAuto Autonomous driving is available on many German cars as well. You have android auto and Apple carplay

@m.a3914 No German cars can do what the XPeng can do in urban settings except maybe the EQS but within a very limited range and under very limited conditions. The OS on the German cars is awful though, Benz is like Windows 98 compared to most modern Chinese cars. CarPlay and Android Auto are very limited and just a manufacturer's way of saying 'we don't know how to do this ourselves'.

Looks beast in orange

in ur personal opinion, sud we go EV now or wait for it? 🚗

@akmalfahmimdamin-250 Really depends on your circumstances, habits, location, etc. If you can afford one in the first place, and have the chance to home charge or good fast chargers nearby, if your daily commute is manageable with an EV, then go right ahead, but pick one that has some future proofing, like really strong charging, good OTA tech, etc. It'll retain more value over time than something more basic that wasn't too good to start with. Also consider parts and service network. Things shouldn't go wrong but if they do you don't want your car off the road too long waiting for parts. Try and seek some assurances there.

great, would do just that! 😃

Very curious to see where they price it. Even at 40k though it's a steal over a Corsa electric. Not sure when they'll expand the charging network though, they'll need more sales first.

@@InsideChinaAuto quickest way to make sales is do it all online with a few of their own showrooms and keep the price rock bottom, once the sales arrive then prices can be adjusted for future models having chased off the competition. A charging network is a must for brand identification….and customer data collection

In China this car 22k

@@user-uf2hc1rb3r so add £500 delivery to the UK then £20% VAT and thats under £25k ….but it won’t be as the dealers will want a larger mark up

It should. Seems to be helping XPeng's numbers anyway.

It will. Looking forward to seeing these in the UK.

The correct pronunciation is how I say it, not how it's spelled, which is merely a romanisation of the Chinese character. Thanks for attending today's Chinese class. 😉

I think so too.

Sure, I've started to include that caveat in future videos.

However, the European Union feels that Chinese cars are selling too cheaply and is conducting anti-dumping investigations against Chinese cars

@user-ob6kw2ct1p European Union is trying to buy time because they're falling behind and prefer to invest in wars and weapons and canapés in The Hague

Well it's not come up with anything. It's set up an investigation to find out something they've already decided to be true, neglecting to mention that they're subsidising their own brands on battery production, their brands have been supported heavily in China with local governments helping them pay for factories and offices to be constructed, and some of their brands are even ENDING production in Europe to build their cars in China, all while legislating small, affordable cars out of existence and trying to convince everyone that enormous battery SUVs are the answer instead. Bunch of arrogant fools, and I should know, I've worked with plenty of them.

There's a review about G9 elsewhere on the channel, though it's the pre-update version

Sedans are king (after coupes)

I have heard as much, that they use another method to measure it. Can't verify that, it might be they measure to the glass and others measure to the top of the seats, I don't know, but it is a bit suspicious.

The boot space mentioned in this video for G6 is also wrong. It's in fact a lot more.

It is quite comical.

I thought so

Their industry has developed in overdrive in the last 6 or so years. Where they used to make pretty bad cars, they've taken the opportunity of electrification and a lot of investment, both government and private, into this space to step up. It's honestly stunning and the intense competition only makes it move faster. They're developing at speed others simply cannot compete with right now.

that's not how CCP works haa?@@InsideChinaAuto

@americannumber2 Well you might not think so but then I doubt you've ever been here, which means you're basing all you know on what you hear online. If I were to do that, I'd think every US citizen was addicted to fentanyl and roaming the streets like in a zombie movie. Fortunately I don't judge America on that

They brought in some big names from Germany and around the world. They helped them create cars that can compete with the world's best. On top of that they use parts from other car companies.

Same crap said about the tesla model 3&Y then. 😏

@@4literv6it’s not a bad thing tho😰 and yes 3 and y is literally an egg

@@cocoaiscool2709 more like a fish.

@@johnsmith-cw3woI can see that 😂

It is quite egg-like, but I also like that.

This car also isn't the same price as it was when this review was filmed, so that's probably why.

You know what, I'd agree in that it's so good at what it does as a family car. For the many people not like me who just want a car that nails the A-B in comfort and peace, this car is so so good at that. Sure it's not a racing car or anything massively exciting, but it's brilliant for families.

@@InsideChinaAuto that's exactly the thing, capsule on wheels that efficently conveys goods and people from A to B. Cars are becoming trams. I want drama 😂. Great review, thank you.

@myfavoritethings4504 Haha, you're welcome. If you like fun and drama, a Lynk & Co 03 is entertaining, as is the BYD Seagull surprisingly.

Haha, OK. A 'phase before old age' man.

Aha, that's good to know. They also measure 0-100 from a rolling start too I believe.

@@InsideChinaAuto they also ''fudge'' the range numbers... Tesla sued in federal court for allegedly misrepresenting range of its electric vehicles.

They've got a lot more than you think, but equally they've proven that it's not the most difficult thing in the world. Cars like the G6 are really well made and with some incredible innovation in building methods.

Have you seen a G6 in person or just through video? Genuinely curious.

@@InsideChinaAuto In your video

@m.a3914 Then you might want to judge a car's feeling on how it is when you sit inside. I definitely wouldn't say the G6 feels claustrophobic or that the materials are worse than a Tesla, quite the opposite in fact. But some people love having a car that looks like it comes with zero options and not even a logo on the steering wheel, that's true, others prefer a more homely feel. I think the G6 does a really nice job on that side. As for space, I do think the Y is bigger in the trunk but also some people mentioned Tesla measure their figures differently so their figures are maybe not quite accurate, much like they measure their 0-100 times with a rolling start.

@@InsideChinaAuto Nope there is no difference in how Tesla measures the space. They measure it in litres. It is just much much much bigger than what G6 offers. Combine that with the frunk and we are close to 2 times more space. Well I see it in the video and has a lot less space on the driver side than a Tesla. The central console is too massive for some reason and by looking at you it looks to be very claustrophobic. Either way regardless of actually being claustrophobic or not the space is simply less given how massive the central console is.

@m.a3914 And what do you plan to do with it? Sit in the middle of the car? Put a plant pot on your wireless charger? The Model Y doesn't have storage space under the centre console like the G6 so your space argument doesn't quite work. And yes, Tesla measures in litres but how they take the measurements is different. Also they don't have 800-volt so can't charge as fast. And seeing as you're obviously a Tesla shareholder (it's always very obvious) and you now put such value on ambient lighting since the Model 3 got it, the Y doesn't have ambient lighting either.

I think that's what makes it good. It does everything you want it to without a fuss.

So what did they do exactly?

@@InsideChinaAuto when placing the order, I had to pay money and I was supposed to pick up the car in July-August 2022. After trying to contact seller several times, I found out that they didn't know when they would have the car and told me to wait or I would lose my money, and I was prepared to pick it up in these months, and in May I bought accessories for the Y model such as a charger, a key, a cover, a tarpaulin for the car, cosmetics, a cable for public chargers, a jack and small items, all about USD 1,200. I waited and in December I received an e-mail that there was a chance, but they were not sure if it would be 100%. I wrote that it would be better if If anything, it's March in the spring, because in the winter I don't know how the batteries work and I'm far from home. And they said they would set it for the 2nd quarter of 2023, I replied that so be it. At the beginning of March, I received a text message asking if I wanted to pick up the car in March. I was surprised and replied that YES. After about a week, I entered my account and saw that my order was not there. I thought it was normal. I'm about to pick it up. I found out from my friend who picked up the car that his car was still on the website even after he picked it up. Miraculously, I managed to contact the seller by phone and after giving the order number, he said that the order had been canceled, I said by whom and he said he doesn't know and tells me to place a new order and pay because the money is gone and wait again. I've had enough after almost 14 months
