With its imminent entry into Singapore's EV market, we made a trip to Guangzhou, China to experience the XPENG G6. While most of you probably aren't familiar with the brand, it actually caught my attention more than three years ago. I first encountered XPENG while browsing DouYin (China's TikTok equivalent).
May 11, 2024 11:00 AMWith its imminent entry into Singapore's EV market, we made a trip to Guangzhou, China to experience the XPENG G6.
This time round, I finally got the opportunity to get behind an actual XPENG, and it's the brand's latest model - the G6 — no less.According to XPENG's designers, traditionally designed cars tend to have front ends that are vaguely reminiscent of human faces. But XPENG does away with that notion entirely — its P7 had a 'Robot Face 1.0' design that mimicked the face of a robot.
Like a robot in a sci-fi movie growing to learn and feel human emotions, XPENG's products are also getting that human touch too. After all, cars should be designed to suit their human users. Simply put, 'Xiao P' is the virtual assistant built into XPENG's vehicles. However, its accuracy and functionality is impressive, with the ability to detect commands from individual occupants, and even give chirpy replies. From the head lights to the aircon, the accurate voice-operated assistant allows you to adjust all sorts of features without lifting a finger.
