Xpeng G6 facelift to get new RWD Standard Range variant in Malaysia – Jan 14 launch; 252 PS, 68.5 kWh

Xpeng Malaysia has teased a new variant of the G6 facelift which will make its debut later this week on January 14, 2026. At present, the electric SUV can be had in three flavours, starting with the RWD Long Range Pro that retails for RM179,708 on-the-road without insurance, followed by the AWD Performance (RM190,708) and AWD Black Edition (RM194,708).

Given the state of the line-up, the new offering is very likely the RWD Standard Range, which was the base option for the pre-facelift model but was absent when the facelift was introduced last October. A check with Xpeng Malaysia’s website confirms the new variant, which currently has a placeholder (not official) retail price identical to the RWD Long Range Pro – the new variant will likely be cheaper.

In terms of powertrain specifications, the RWD Standard Range features a rear electric motor rated at 252 PS (248 hp or 185 kW) and 440 Nm of torque. While the base variant’s torque output is identical to the RWD Long Range Pro, the latter has a higher power output of 296 PS (292 hp or 218 kW).

Also different is the battery capacity, as the RWD Standard Range packs a 68.5-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) unit compared to the 80.8-kWh pack in the other variants. As a result, the 0-100 km/h time and WLTP-rated range will be lower. We can also expect less kit, although we won’t know what has been removed until this Wednesday, so stay tuned.

  • If it price below 150k ,it has potential to be a big seller,more than that it will be ‘upsell’ model so that u take the long range model..let se what bermaz strategy..knowing them cant expect much and still be disappointed..pity xpeng got so much potential to be at least half as big as tesla here if not more..
