As reported here last October, China's Xpeng (pronounced Shao-Peng ) has entered the Irish market through its exclusive importer and distributor, Motor Distributors Limited (MDL ).
The first model from Xpeng's all-electric passenger car range has this week been launched in Ireland, the mid-sized G6 SUV, which comes in three model variants: a ‘Standard’ range model and a ‘Long Range’ model (both with rear-wheel drive ), and a ‘Performance’ model (with permanent all-wheel drive ).
The Performance model will arrive here in Q3 of this year with both Standard and Long Range models available now for customer delivery.
Launching at what MDL director, Ciaran Allen calls “a compellingly competitive price structure and overall value proposition”, MDL says it takes full account of the model offering itself, and of market conditions generally and the overriding national objective to expand EV ownership. Models come on the market from €42,000 (Standard ) and €49,440 (Long Range ) inclusive of all EV grants and incentives.
Features present in every G6 include 20-inch rims, a large panoramic glass roof, multi-adjustable, heated and leatherette-covered seats all around, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, four USB ports, two 50W induction charging points for smartphones, a 960W audio system with 18 speakers, and an extensive library of music, video, entertainment and social media apps.
