The Shanghai Auto Show has kicked off but it appears that Chinese electric vehicle makers like Xpeng, NIO, and Li Auto have stolen the spotlight by taking advantage of the absence of Tesla during this event.
As of right now, these brands from China have been bringing in big crowds during the major auto event. Meanwhile, the American EV maker has decided to skip this event. Taking the stage at Shanghai Auto Show, Nio, Li Auto, and Xpeng have captured audiences with these Chinese EV makers as they unveil their latest premium electric vehicle. The companies are benefiting as the auto show lacks Tesla as one of its major brands.
At the Xpeng booth, a sales managed elaborated upon the company’s emphasis on quality products, stating that they have the edge over its rivals even when it comes to autonomous driving technology as well. The brand’s latest announcement was its new G6 electric SUV, which many have compared to Tesla’s Model Y. Based on its looks alone, it is clear that the design bears a resemblance with the Model Y due to its digital vehicle architecture.
This includes large single piece front and rear underbody casting. Notably, the G6 is also quite similar to the Model Y in terms of overall dimensions. For those unaware, the Xpeng G6 model is based on the SEPA 2.0 platform and is a compact electric SUV model. It is priced around 30,000 US Dollars and is around 10,000 US Dollars cheaper than the Model Y.
