Xpeng G6

Mercedes have been screwing Irish people for decades with massively inflated prices relative to other countries and other brands. It’s a wonder anybody buys them with their Paddy Spec cars

blame VRT. That's why we get 'paddy spec' cars

Wait…*3K* "delivery"?

Keep us all posted on what it's like to live with. Considering the LR version when available

I was told end of June or early July for the LR, didn't enquire re the AWD.

Bjorn Nyland at 30:18 mark says "that is basically one-pedal driving".

The same in the article below.

Driving on X-pedal (one pedal) is easy and efficient.

As per @unkel it's not a complete one pedal driving. Reddit confirms that and allegedly full one-pedal will come in April's OTA update.

That might be it. Auto-hold with 1-pedal driving is such a core requirement now it feels weird to be in any other vehicle that doesn't have it.

Did I hear the Seal Ion7 doesn't have 1-pedal driving (yet)?

Facelift prices are going to be lower, but obviously no guarantee that same will happen on European market.

does the app work right away when you scan the QR/register an account?

just getting this page and a notification area with no data.

Another link on the new Model..

It quite long actually and great if you love you battery tech!

I can't afford either at the moment, so will probably have to wait anyway until the new model is here anyway, maybe by 2026, but no details of when it might come?

Two Week Review

This is my first electric car and so far, I’m happy with the change.

I have the short range with the white interior, I think it looks much more premium than the black interior but that’s personal taste. I might change my mind in a few months as I have 3 kids. The car gets plenty of attention on the road which adds to the new car feel-good factor.

The range is fine for me, and the efficiency has been good. I’ve done a combination of city, motorway, and west coast driving and I’ve been more than happy with kWh/100 kms in the mid-teens.

There are 4 customisable drive modes, ECO, Standard, Sport and Individual. Performance is excellent, it has more than enough pick-up if/when needed.

Most functions are through the centre console/screen with lots of customisation available. The lack of buttons and dials etc was a bit of a worry at the beginning but 2 weeks in I am already familiar with most features. The screen menu-bar/shortcut icons are customisable like an iPhone and you can swipe down for short cuts also.

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) & Lane Centring Control (LCC) and the semi-autonomous lane changing works very well.

The self-parking has worked perfectly on each occasion I have tried it. I have only used it while sitting in the car but it can be used through the app also when not in the car if entering a tight parking space. The car can be summoned out of a parking space if opening the doors is a bit tight. It’s all a bit gimmicky but it works.

AC can be controlled from the steering wheel (fan speed & temp) and the screen in more detail.

One issue Derek mentioned in his review was the indicators not turning off after turning, I have found that happens from time to time.

The x-combo feature is where you can automate functions when certain conditions are met or just run manually through the mobile app or on screen.

Eg, When entering the vehicle by the driver's door > Turn off the front defog. There are lots of combos that can be customised.

X-Pedal – it’s not full one pedal driving (yet) as there is a bit of creep but auto-hold can be engaged by depressing the brake pedal with a little extra pressure. It's not a big issue for me.
