It may be new to the Singapore market, but the Xpeng G6 has already gathered a sizable following of drivers who have come to love its combination of advanced technology, sublime performance and commodious cabin, packaged in a sleek body.

You might be puzzled when you first get behind the wheel, though, for the brand's neatness is such that the cockpit looks like it's been pared back. But once you get into the systems, you'll immediately discover the intuitive interface and sound ergonomics.

One of the G6's coolest tricks is its Autopark feature, which is not only capable of mapping the carpark and showing you the vacant spaces, but also lets you choose which one the system should park the car in.

Meanwhile, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out in the lounge-like rear, thanks to the 2,890mm wheelbase. And don't let that sloping roofline fool you, for headroom is actually generous.

In terms of performance, the G6 is available in two flavours: A Standard model with 255bhp and 440Nm of torque, a century sprint time of 6.6 seconds, and a driving range of 435km, and a more powerful Long Range variant. The latter comes with 282bhp and although torque is unchanged, it finishes the century dash in 6.2 seconds, while offering a maximum range of 570km.

The athletic ability is balanced with excellent efficiency, too, for the G6 can average 6.9km/kWh. It can even be charged at up to 280kW, which gets you back on the road sooner. In all, the Xpeng G6 is a compelling package that deserves the award for Electric Coupe-Crossover of the Year.
