Refreshed Design and Cabin Upgrades

The facelifted G6 sports a sharper, more modern appearance. Camouflaged prototypes seen in Sydney reveal several exterior updates that align it with XPeng’s latest design language:

Redesigned LED taillights and new wheel designs
A reworked front fascia with a full-width LED light strip
The XPeng badge relocated from the grille to the bonnet for a cleaner look

Inside, the cabin receives meaningful upgrades:

A larger 15.6-inch infotainment display (up from 14.9 inches)
A freestanding digital instrument cluster
New dashboard layout, improved materials, and redesigned front seats

These changes give the G6 a more premium and driver-focused interior feel, aimed squarely at tech-conscious EV buyers.
