How is the XPeng G3i?
3 Answers
XPeng G3i is introduced as follows: 1. In terms of appearance: The XPeng G3i not only retains the design curves of the previous model but also keeps the still very avant-garde two-tone roof and floating C-pillar. The vehicle also features hidden door handles that can automatically extend and retract. 2. In terms of configuration: The XPeng G3i is equipped with the Xpilot 2.5 function, supported by a hardware setup consisting of 12 ultrasonic radars, 1 millimeter-wave radar, and 5 high-definition cameras, achieving L2.5 driving assistance. The XPeng G3i still uses two large screens of 12.3 inches and 15.6 inches, maintaining strong technological appeal and visual impact.
I've been paying close attention to the XPeng G3i. As someone who frequently test-drives electric vehicles, I'm impressed by its overall performance. First, the powertrain is robust—the single-motor version delivers smooth acceleration, making overtaking on city roads effortless. Actual testing shows a 0-100 km/h time of around 8 seconds, faster and quieter than the gasoline cars I've driven. The official NEDC range is 520 km, though in winter with climate control on, it drops to about 430 km. Fast charging takes 40 minutes to reach 80%, making it quite suitable for long trips. A standout tech feature is the XPILOT 2.5 system, which assists with steering and adaptive cruise control on highways or in traffic, significantly reducing driver fatigue. The 15.6-inch touchscreen is intuitive, with responsive voice control, making it super convenient to check navigation or adjust music while driving. The exterior design is stylish, with a distinctive closed grille at the front, and the spacious five-seat cabin is comfortable. Downsides include slightly limited rear storage space, noticeable wind noise at high speeds, and materials that fall short of premium brands. But for its price—under 200,000 RMB—it offers great value for tech-savvy and family-oriented buyers. If your budget allows, I recommend a test drive to experience its smart connectivity features firsthand.
Our family has been using the Xpeng G3i daily and find it quite handy, especially suitable for city commuting and weekend trips. Space is a highlight, with the rear seats comfortably accommodating three adults, and a 380-liter trunk capacity that's ample for large luggage or shopping bags, ensuring kids don't feel cramped. In terms of comfort, the seats offer good support, making two-hour long drives without back pain possible, and the air conditioning cools quickly, keeping us comfortable in summer. The range is sufficient for our needs; with a daily commute of 15 kilometers, charging once a week is hassle-free, and the actual mileage exceeds 400 kilometers, with convenient home slow charging. Safety is commendable, featuring standard multiple airbags and an automatic braking system—once, it promptly alerted us to avoid a collision when the car ahead braked suddenly. The infotainment system is straightforward and practical, with accurate navigation, and the voice assistant quickly adjusts temperature controls. Priced under 200,000 yuan with subsidies, it's a cost-effective choice, saving two-thirds of the cost compared to fueling. The downsides include noticeable plastic feel in the interior and average noise insulation, making it noisy at high speeds. However, from a family car perspective, its practicality and low maintenance costs make it a worry-free choice.
