Shipments of the latest Xpeng G6 electric SUVs have been spotted at the Port of Brisbane, signaling the start of customer deliveries for the 2026 model. The new G6, featuring advanced charging technology and updated design, is set to reach showrooms across Australia following the brand’s recent relaunch.
Xpeng G6 Arrives at Australian Ports
Dozens of the new 2026 Xpeng G6 electric SUVs have been unloaded at the Port of Brisbane, with deliveries to dealerships and customers expected to begin soon. Photos shared in the Xpeng owners group on Facebook show rows of G6 vehicles ready for distribution.
A commenter on the group noted that Western Australia has also received its first shipment, stating, “Yep Fremantle just had there first lot off the ship too. Hopefully 🤞 will get mine soon.”
Key Features and Upgrades for 2026
The 2026 Xpeng G6 introduces several upgrades over the previous model, including a new front light bar, updated bumpers, a redesigned rear light strip with spoiler, new paint options (with Orange removed), new wheels, ambient lighting, an upgraded interior, and a larger center screen. The vehicle is now 5 mm longer, measuring 4,758 mm (~187 inches) in total length.
The G6 is built on an 800 V architecture and supports ultra-fast 5C charging, enabling a 10-80% charge in just 12 minutes. However, the maximum charging speed of 451 kW is not yet supported by public DC chargers in Australia.
Variants, Range, and Pricing
Available in four variants, the G6 lineup starts with the RWD Standard Range, offering up to 480 km (~298 miles) of range. The Long Range variant increases this to 525 km (~326 miles), while the top-spec Performance model features a dual-motor powertrain and up to 510 km (~317 miles) of range.
The Performance Black Edition, which adds unique styling elements, is priced at A$66,800 (~$47,150) before on-road costs. All variants use an 80.8-kWh Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) battery pack and include 6 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability.
Warranty and After-Sales Support
The Xpeng G6 comes with a 7-year unlimited kilometer warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km (~99,400 miles) battery warranty. This coverage surpasses that offered by competitors such as the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7.
Why this matters
The arrival of the 2026 Xpeng G6 marks a significant step for the brand’s renewed presence in Australia, offering buyers a technologically advanced EV with rapid charging and competitive warranties. With Xpeng now officially reporting monthly sales data through vFacts, the G6’s performance in the local market will be closely watched by industry observers and potential buyers.
What this means for buyers
Buyers interested in the latest EV technology and fast charging capabilities now have a new option in the mid-size SUV segment. The G6’s warranty and feature set make it a strong contender, especially for those comparing it to established models like the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7. With first deliveries imminent, prospective customers should check availability at local dealerships and monitor monthly sales data for updates on supply and demand.
