3 Answers
G3 is a car under BYD, and the BYD G3 is another high-end model following the launch of the F6. It comes in four variants with two engine displacements: 1.5L and 1.8L, namely the Shuyang GL-i, Haoyang GLX-i, Zunyang GS-i, and Qiyang GLX-iNAVI. Interior and features: The BYD G3 features an interior style similar to the Toyota Corolla and is equipped with a self-developed keyless system, automatic door opening/closing, and one-button engine start. The BYD G3 is the first product of BYD's new high-end car network A3 and the first model in the G series. Its launch marks BYD's move toward higher-end offerings. In terms of power, the 1.5L G3 is equipped with either the Mitsubishi 4G15S or BYD's self-developed 473QB engine, with the former producing 78kW and 134N·m, and the latter 79kW and 144N·m. The 1.5L models are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The self-developed 1.8L 483QA engine delivers a maximum power of 90kW (120 hp) and a maximum torque of 160N·m, mated to a CVT transmission.
The XPeng G3 is a well-known domestic electric SUV in China, which I believe represents the progress of China's new energy vehicle industry. XPeng Motors has launched this model as its flagship product, targeting young professionals and urban commuters. Having driven similar models in daily life, I find the G3's overall performance quite reliable. Built on a pure electric platform, it offers a battery range of approximately 400 kilometers and quick acceleration, reaching 60 km/h in just a few seconds. The spacious interior makes it suitable for family use or weekend trips, and it comes equipped with smart features like voice assistants and advanced driver-assistance systems, making driving quite convenient. With a relatively affordable starting price of around 100,000 yuan, significantly cheaper than Tesla, it has attracted many budget-conscious buyers. In terms of maintenance, electric vehicles have lower upkeep costs, and electricity expenses are much more economical than fuel. However, charging station coverage might be insufficient in some cities. If you want to experience the latest smart trends, the G3 is definitely worth a try, as it continuously updates its software to enhance the user experience.
I previously followed automotive news, and the G3 is actually XPeng's entry-level electric vehicle, primarily designed for urban driving and smart features. The SUV's styling is very trendy and popular among young people, especially those around my age who find it highly tech-savvy. In terms of range, I've tested real-world data—it typically lasts a full day of city commuting without needing a charge, though long-distance trips may require a mid-journey top-up. Its smart driving features include automatic parking and navigation assistance, making it easy for novice drivers to handle. The interior is spacious, with enough room for three people in the back seat without feeling cramped, and the trunk can hold a good amount of luggage, making it highly practical. On the downside, battery range drops somewhat in winter, so friends in northern regions should take note. Maintenance-wise, EVs don’t require oil changes like gasoline cars, but battery lifespan issues can occasionally lead to malfunctions. When buying a used one, be sure to check for software update records. XPeng's after-sales service is fairly reliable, with plenty of service centers for convenient repairs. I think if your budget allows, the G3 is a solid choice.
