The electric vehicle market in the GCC is witnessing fierce competition between Chinese and American brands. With the launch of the Car Shopping Festival on Cartea, buyers now have the chance to enjoy cashback rewards when purchasing select models. Among these, the XPeng G6 stands out as one of the featured cars, placing it head to head with the globally popular Tesla Model Y. Below is a comparison overview of their highlights in terms of performance, range, technology, and driving experience.

XPeng G6: Chinese Technology Steps Into the Game


The XPeng G6 has entered the UAE market as an electric option that blends strong performance with advanced smart technology. Built on an 800V electric architecture, it supports ultra fast charging of up to 280 kW. This allows the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in under twenty minutes, making it highly practical for long journeys across the UAE and the wider GCC.

The G6 comes in multiple versions to suit different needs:

  • Long Range version (87.5 kWh) with 286 hp and a driving range of around 570 km (WLTP).

  • Performance AWD version with 476 hp, dual motors, and a range of about 550 km.


Inside, the G6 offers a premium experience with high quality materials and advanced displays, including a 14.9 inch central touchscreen and a driver’s display. The model is equipped with the XPILOT semi autonomous system, using multiple cameras and sensors to provide a safe and assisted drive. Standard features include 20 inch wheels, a panoramic glass roof, and an immersive 18 speaker audio system.

Tesla Model Y: American Expertise and a Global Charging Network


The Tesla Model Y stands as one of the best selling electric SUVs worldwide, recognized for its long driving range and strong performance. The lineup includes several key versions:

  • Long Range AWD with up to 685 km of range (WLTP) and dual motor all wheel drive.

  • Standard Rear Wheel Drive offering around 525 km of range.

  • Performance with about 450 hp and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5–4 seconds.


In terms of design, the Model Y features sleek exterior lines and a wide panoramic glass roof. Inside, the cabin takes on a minimalist yet modern feel, dominated by a large 15 inch central touchscreen that controls most of the car’s functions. Despite its simplicity, the Model Y stands out thanks to Tesla’s expansive Supercharger network, which ensures effortless long distance travel, along with continuous over the air software updates that enhance both performance and features over time.

Direct Comparison between XPeng G6 and Tesla Model Y


When it comes to driving range, the Tesla Model Y takes the lead with its Long Range version offering up to 685 km, compared to around 570 km in the XPeng G6 Long Range. On the other hand, the XPeng G6 Performance edges ahead in power, delivering an extra 85 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque over the Model Y Performance, giving it quicker acceleration within the same segment.


In addition, the XPeng G6 comes at a more competitive price point, making it a highly attractive option, especially with the exclusive benefits available through Cartea during the festival. While Tesla stands out for its strong global brand presence and extensive charging network, XPeng aims to win over buyers by combining advanced fast charging technology with excellent value for money.
