JAKARTA - Car manufacturers from China continue to target the Southeast Asian market which is no less lucrative, including Xpeng opening pre orders for the G6 model in Thailand at the 2024 Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS).

Built on the SEPA 2.0 platform, the 4.753 mm long G6, 1.920 mm wide, 1,650 mm high, and 2.890 mm wheelbase. The G6 is the first right steering electric car of the brand to be sold in Thailand and several other countries.

It is known that the SEPA 2.0 platform has an 800V architecture and supports DC fast charging with a maximum capacity of 280 kW. The company noted that a 10-80 percent charging rate can be achieved with just 20 minutes after plugging in, and the G6 will be equipped with a complete set of ADAS features.

Quoting from the Paultan page, Thursday, March 28, there were no more details regarding the price for the Thai market, but it was reported that the G6 model would be priced in the range of 1,500,000 baths to 1,799,000 baths (Rp654-Rp785 million).

"It's great to announce our partnership with Neo Mobility Asia in the Thai market! XPENG introduced the G6 Smart EV to Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, with deliveries starting Q32024. Look forward to further updates as we pioneer EV innovations around the world," Xpeng wrote on X's social media page.

Meanwhile, in the Thai market, the brand from China comes in two variants, namely Standard Range and Long Range, both with electric motorbikes installed behind with 292 hp and 440 Nm torque.

Both options also share the same highest speed of 202 km/h, although Standard Range takes 6.6 seconds to go from 0-100 km/hour, while Long Range only takes 5.9 seconds. That figure is quite interesting.

Meanwhile, batteries also have different ranges and components. Standard Range is claimed to be able to cover a distance of 580 km in CLTC calculations with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) 66 kWh battery. Meanwhile, Long Range offers a distance of up to 755 km (also following CLTC) from a nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery with a capacity of 87.5 kWh.
