Xiaopeng G6 and Zhiji LS6, a showdown between the two old sixes, which one is better at a price of 230,000 yuan?

As the two most popular pure electric SUVs in the 200,000 yuan price range last year - Xiaopeng G6 and Zhiji LS6, there have always been a lot of consumers who want to know which one is more cost-effective.

There is endless discussion about these two models on the Internet, and people from all walks of life often pull out a series of comparison tables just to prove which one has a better value for money.

So today 91che found these two "Old Sixes" and selected their respective 230,000 yuan versions for comparison, comparing them from four dimensions to see which one is more suitable for your Nissan usage scenario.

The models compared this time are: Xiaopeng G6 2023 580 long-range Max, Zhiji LS6 2023 Max standard version.

Design

In terms of appearance design, from the release of the official pictures of Xiaopeng G6 to its launch on the market, there are posts everywhere saying that it does not look good. However, this is not necessarily malicious smearing by internet trolls, but rather that the appearance of Xiaopeng G6 does lack sufficient beauty.

The front face of Xiaopeng G6 abandons the family-style through-light sword headlights, and adds an X logo in the middle to disconnect the light strip, which looks very inconsistent; the posture of the side body makes Xiaopeng G6 look like a design similar to Model Y that raises the shell of the sedan. The purpose of this design is not difficult to guess, which is to make the body look more sporty, but to be honest, like Model Y, it looks like a computer mouse and feels a bit bloated.

The rear end has the same problem. The original iconic through-taillight is cut in the middle, which does not look good. The shape of the entire rear end is also very crowded, and the arrangement of design elements can be more refined.

In comparison, the body design of Zhiji LS6 is better than that of Xiaopeng, but its extremely avant-garde front face design may also deter some consumers as it feels a bit "alien".

From the side of the body, the body posture of Zhiji LS6 looks much more normal than that of Xiaopeng G6. The design concept of coupe SUv makes its shape look very balanced, and will not make consumers feel that this is a model with unbalanced design proportions. The side view is very elegant.

The rear design of Zhiji LS6 is also very avant-garde. The taillight design is very unique and very eye-catching when lit at night. At the same time, the design is also very simple, proving that the designer is very restrained and did not design for the sake of design.

Power control

In terms of power, the Xiaopeng G6 uses an electric motor with 296Ps horsepower, 218kW power, and 440N·m torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. The Zhiji LS6 uses an electric motor with 314Ps horsepower, 231kW power and 450N·m torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds.

Although the performance of Xiaopeng G6 is sufficient to meet the needs of most consumers, and the acceleration level of 6.6 seconds is enough to surpass most models on the road, and overtaking and changing lanes can be easily completed, but for consumers with higher performance requirements, Zhiji LS6's 5.9 seconds is indeed more attractive and has a stronger sense of push back.

In addition, the Zhiji LS6 comes standard with 20-inch wheels, and its driving control is better than that of the Xiaopeng G6, with more precise steering and better sports performance. Therefore, if you choose the Zhiji LS6 with the idea of ​​buying a sports SUV, then there is no problem. Zhiji is also a very good brand among the new energy brands of traditional car companies in terms of chassis tuning.

However, if you have a high demand for autonomous driving, then you can choose Xiaopeng without hesitation, because Xiaopeng not only comes standard with the XNGP driving assistance system, but also has launched urban assisted driving functions in more than 200 cities, which basically makes it possible to "sit in the car but not drive it", which is far ahead of all other brands of models at the same price.

Battery life

In terms of battery life, the Xiaopeng G6 uses a 66kWh lithium iron phosphate battery with a CLTC range of up to 580km. The Zhiji LS6 uses a 71kWh ternary lithium battery with a CLTC range of 560km. The reason why the battery capacity is larger but the battery life is lower than that of the Xiaopeng G6 is that Xiaopeng's power consumption control is better, with a power consumption of 13.2kWh per 100 kilometers, while that of the Zhiji LS6 is 14.4kWh. Therefore, the long-term charging cost of Xiaopeng will be lower than that of the Zhiji LS6.

Not only that, the charging speed of Xiaopeng G6 is also very fast. It only takes 0.33 hours to charge from 10% to 80%. Even if you need to use the car for long distances, as long as you arrange your travel plans reasonably, you can have a very good long-distance driving experience.

In terms of warranty, the battery pack warranty of Xiaopeng G6 is not as good as that of Zhiji LS6. Xiaopeng only provides an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty policy, while Zhiji LS6 is 8 years or 240,000 kilometers. If the annual mileage is relatively high, then the warranty policy of Zhiji LS6 will undoubtedly make consumers feel more at ease.

Cabin interior

In terms of the cockpit, the overall design of the Xiaopeng G6 is relatively simple, and the design elements are arranged step by step. But to be honest, it lacks highlights and memorable points. The interior workmanship and materials are very solid. Although it will not make people who enter the cockpit for the first time feel that this is a luxury car, its texture is very good.

In terms of car computer, Xiaopeng G6 uses a 14.96-inch horizontal central control screen, which can present more information and has better entertainment performance than the vertical screen, and can well meet the viewing needs of car owners and passengers.

The cabin of Zhiji LS6 has a very obvious advantage over Xiaopeng G6, that is, the exaggerated proportion of soft material coverage, which gives its center console, door panels and many other places an impressive luxurious texture. The design language pays great attention to unity, and different elements use a similar design style. The cabin is at the upper-middle level in the same price range.

The central control screen uses a 26.3-inch horizontal through-screen. Although the visual impact of the Zhiji LS6 central control screen is stronger than that of the Xiaopeng G6, the proportion of effective content of this proportion of screen is not high when watching videos and displaying information. The entertainment performance is average, and the actual experience of the car machine is not as good as that of the Xiaopeng G6.

Buying advice

Although the appearance design of Xiaopeng G6 is not good-looking, the design of Zhiji LS6 is also very avant-garde. Therefore, for most consumers, the appearance of Xiaopeng G6 is actually more acceptable.

In terms of power and handling, compared with Zhiji LS6, Xiaopeng G6 is not outstanding, but its intelligent driving ability far exceeds that of Zhiji LS6. Moreover, urban automatic driving functions can now be used in most cities. Combined with low power consumption and fast charging, it can provide a more comfortable driving experience. If you don’t have high driving requirements, then choosing Xiaopeng G6 is better than Zhiji LS6.

As for the cockpit, Xiaopeng G6 wins in terms of the interaction and entertainment performance of the central control screen, while Zhiji LS6 has a more refined cockpit design and more solid materials. Those who care about the car experience can choose Xiaopeng, while those who care about the texture of the cockpit can choose Zhiji LS6.
