Verdict
The Xpeng G6 costs RM18,252 less at RM159,948, yet delivers 248 hp, 440 Nm and a 6.94-second 0-100 km/h time against the Honda CR-V’s 8.9 seconds. Its 68.5-kWh battery is rated for 480 km and its 382-kW DC charging ceiling is a major draw for EV-ready owners. The CR-V counters with a 589-litre boot, eight airbags and a 57-litre petrol tank, removing dependence on charging. For Malaysian buyers with dependable charging, the G6 gives more performance, space between the axles and equipment for less money; the CR-V suits those who need petrol-hybrid flexibility.
Pick the Honda CR-V if you need a 57-litre petrol-hybrid SUV with a 589-litre boot, eight airbags and unlimited-mileage five-year warranty.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if home or regular charging is practical and you want 480 km of rated EV range, 440 Nm and a lower RM159,948 price.
