27,327 USD budget, how to choose Xpeng G6, Tesla Model Y, AITO M5 EV?

The Xpeng G6 is officially on the market, with a price of RMB20.99-276900, which is nearly 20, lower than the pre-sale price. Relatively speaking, this price is still very sincere, but when it comes to intelligence, Tesla Model Y and AITO M5 EV are both leaders in this field, so how to choose these three cars?

who is more cost-effective

from the point of view of the price, the price of the Xpeng G6 is indeed very attractive. The price of the entry version 209900 is more than 50, 000 cheaper than that of Model Y (starting price 263900) and AITO M5 EV (starting price 259800). However, it should be noted that at present, in the end market, the AITO M5 EV is the only one of the three cars with a discount, and the entry-level version with a guide price of 35,497 USD can reach 20, in some areas. The actual price is 239800. 

Even so, the starting price of the Xpeng G6 is still the lowest, and the configuration of the Xpeng G6 entry model is not low.

 the body dimensions of the three cars are very similar, and the wheelbase of the Xpeng G6 is even the same as that of the Model Y. it is not difficult to see that the G6, which is related to the "life and death" of Xpeng, is really aimed at Model Y. the entry-level pure electric endurance is between Model Y and AITO M5 EV, and its performance is in line with the level that this level should have. 

In addition to the same configuration, the Xpeng G6 entry version also has more functions such as open door warning, rear collision warning, induction trunk, etc., with the lowest price, the most configuration features, and indeed high performance-to-price ratio, while Model Y and AITO M5 EV compare, the basic configuration of the two cars is not much different, but the price of AITO M5 EV is lower than Model Y, so from a performance-to-price point of view, Xpeng G6 > AITO M5 EV > Model Y.

In addition, the price of Model Y may fluctuate greatly at any time, that is to say, if the price goes up one day, the old car owner will be overjoyed, but the price will be suddenly reduced, and the old car owner will become a "leek" accidentally.

who is the most intelligent? 

for trams, the most valuable part is the application of more and more advanced technology, especially the intelligent configuration, such as car engine system, intelligent driving system and so on. 

First of all, let's take a look at the cars that consumers experience most in their daily driving.

Of the three cars, the interior layout of the Xpeng G6 and AITO M5 EV is the closest to the traditional model, with a combination of liquid crystal display and central control screen. The difference is that the AITO M5 EV uses a traditional electronic handle, while the Xpeng G6 uses a shielding design, which looks more concise. The interior design of Model Y is familiar to everyone, and all the functions are concentrated on the 15-inch central control screen.

In terms of car-machine system, the Xpeng G6 is equipped with Xmart OS system, which has 8155 more chips than the other two cars, and its running fluency and speech recognition rate are theoretically better, while the AITO M5 EV is equipped with Huawei Harmony OS Hongmeng operating system. For consumers using Android phones, especially Huawei phones, human-computer interaction is more convenient, but if Apple users, it may not be such a perfect experience.

Finally, there is Model Y. although the entire car-machine system does not use 8155 chips, the design and operation fluency of UI is still one of the best, especially small functions such as game halls and toolboxes, which appear very simple in the increasingly complex car-machine interface.

So in terms of car-machine system, it can be said that each of the three cars has its own advantages, except for the Xpeng G6, the other two cars are not bad, just choose according to your own preferences.

The second is the intelligent driving assistance system. It can be said that as one of the important factors to test pure electric models, the big companies have made great efforts and costs in the intelligent driving assistance system.

At the hardware level, Xpeng G6 and AITO M5 EV are relatively close, Xpeng G6 carries 31 smart sensors, AITO M5 EV's new smart driving version carries 27 smart sensors, Xpeng G6 has an extra lidar, while Model Y does not carry lidar, so the total computing power Xpeng G6 is the strongest of the three cars.

At the software level, the Xpeng G6 is equipped with a XNGP-assisted driving system. According to official information, in addition to supporting the L2-level auxiliary driving system, it can also achieve automatic lane change, automatic overtaking, automatic on-and-off ramp, if in cities with high-precision maps, it can also achieve a series of high-level functions such as automatic red street lights, automatic U-turn and so on.

The AITO M5 EV version is equipped with Huawei's advanced intelligent driving system (HUAWEI ADS 2.0). After turning on NCA pilotage assistance, it can also automatically change lanes, turn, automatically change lanes, overtake and other functions, the basic function is similar to Xpeng G6, and finally Model Y, equipped with the enhanced FSD autopilot system, in overseas markets, has been able to complete the urban automatic lane change assistance, active obstacle avoidance and other functions. However, there is no landing in China, and it is impossible to experience the complete function.

The driving assistance functions of these three cars are difficult to distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages of the officially announced products, but the difference is obvious. Although the Xpeng G6 and AITO M5 EV versions claim to be independent of high-precision maps, in fact, the former currently relies on high-precision maps to experience all functions, while the latter has its own set of maps, which can only be experienced in some cities. Only Model Y achieves intelligent driving assistance through a camera-only vision solution, and requires a 64000 increase in option.

So in terms of intelligence, if you only look at the hardware configuration, Xpeng G6 > AITO M5 EV > Model Y, while in the human-computer interaction between vehicle and machine, although Xpeng G6 has not been experienced yet, the 8155 chip subscription should be very powerful in theory, so it should be Xpeng G6 > AITO M5 EV ≈ Model Y.

who is more motivated? Is it more fun to drive? 

finally, let's take a look at the range and driving experience of the three cars. 

These three cars all provide rear-drive version and four-wheel-drive performance version, through the table, it is easy to see that the mileage of the Xpeng G6 under CLTC conditions is the highest, reaching 755km, the daily use will reduce the charging frequency, coupled with the 800V high-voltage platform, according to official propaganda, the time to replenish energy has been shortened to a certain extent.

The advantage of Model Y is that zero acceleration is the fastest of the three cars, at 3.7 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the 3.9 seconds of the Xpeng G6, while the AITO M5 has the slowest acceleration of 4.5 seconds because it is mainly home-based.

In terms of driving experience, Model Y's chassis texture and steering accuracy are all sports-oriented training style, while AITO M5 is on the contrary, preferring home comfort training. After a brief experience of the Xpeng G6 on the track, the feedback from colleagues was that the chassis was solid, roll suppression was good, and there was a certain degree of driving fun. After all, it was the only one of the three cars equipped with front double forked arms and rear five links.
