Just weeks after its launch the XPENG G6 is getting good consumer reaction
We were picking up a new test drive car last week and the XPENG-BERMAZ showroom was delivering a customer car. We asked the sales people how many units have been sold and at the time they had 70 plus bookings and they had already delivered half of that.
This shows the interest in this plush well equipped electric SUV that has a selling price that is hard to beat.
Yes, the immediate rivals are watching and some are offering discounts and even expensive FREE gifts to get electric car buyers from moving towards the XPENG G6.
Incidentally, this is all good news for Malaysian electric car buyers as this brings down the selling prices of shiny new cars in Malaysia and after decades of having high selling prices, Malaysians now get to enjoy better prices and higher technology cars.
Additionally, these new Chinese auto manufacturers are also offering longer factory approved warranties and after sales programs to provide better peace of mind motoring in Malaysia.
