The XPENG G6, an ultra-smart electric coupe SUV, has achieved a coveted five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). This prestigious recognition underscores XPENG’s commitment to safety and innovation, highlighting its dedication to protecting occupants and road users alike.
Key Highlights:
- Exceptional Safety Performance: The G6 excelled in critical safety evaluations, including Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection, and Safety Assist.
- Advanced Safety Features: Comprehensive autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems and robust lane support mechanisms earned high praise, ensuring superior protection for diverse road scenarios.
- Innovative Structural Design: Featuring China’s pioneering integrated front-and-rear die-casting technology, the G6’s lightweight yet high-rigidity aluminum alloy frame optimizes collision load distribution for enhanced safety.
- Battery Safety Leadership: Cutting-edge thermal management systems, including no-thermal-runaway designs and multi-layer thermal barriers, ensure stability in extreme conditions.
The XPENG G6 demonstrated remarkable crash performance, achieving maximum points in side impact and oblique pole tests. Its active safety systems were particularly lauded for their ability to handle complex scenarios, including car-to-car interactions, vulnerable road user detection, and motorcyclist protection. Furthermore, intelligent speed assistance and a robust lane support system enhance overall road safety.
XPENG has set a benchmark for structural safety through innovative engineering. The G6’s design employs a high-strength aluminum frame, with 51% aluminum alloy content, which reduces intrusion risks during collisions while maintaining a lightweight build crucial for energy efficiency and occupant safety.
Battery safety remains a cornerstone of XPENG’s innovation. The G6 incorporates advanced technologies like dual-circuit liquid cooling systems, ensuring stable performance even under extreme conditions. These features contribute to the vehicle’s high safety standards, offering peace of mind to drivers and passengers.
This milestone follows the XPENG G6’s five-star Euro NCAP safety rating for its international version in September 2024, reinforcing its reputation as a global leader in automotive safety.
Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and President of XPENG, remarked, “This five-star ANCAP rating highlights the exceptional safety standards of XPENG vehicles and reinforces our commitment to delivering industry-leading safety innovations. Our in-house engineering team remains at the forefront of technology, ensuring that every XPENG vehicle not only provides superior protection for its passengers but also proactively enhances road safety through advanced systems and intelligent design.”
