Verdict
At RM154,800, the Nissan Serena e-Power is RM5,148 cheaper and takes seven people, but its 280-litre boot is tight against the Xpeng G6’s 571 litres. The RM159,948 G6 trades two seats for a 480-km EV range, 68.5-kWh battery and 382-kW DC charging. Its 248-hp, 440-Nm rear motor also comfortably exceeds the Serena’s 160 hp and 315 Nm. For Malaysian households that regularly use three rows, the Serena’s packaging wins; for five occupants with charging access, the G6’s luggage space, performance and adaptive driving aids make more sense.
Pick the Nissan Serena e-Power if you need seven seats, a sliding second row and a powered left sliding door for regular family duty.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if five seats are enough and you want 480 km of EV range, 382-kW DC charging and a much larger boot.

The Xpeng G6 is better for a five-seat EV with 480 km of range, 571 litres of boot space and 382-kW DC charging. Choose the Nissan Serena e-Power if seven seats and its sliding-door MPV layout are non-negotiable.
What is the price difference?
The Xpeng G6 costs RM159,948 and the Nissan Serena e-Power costs RM154,800, so the G6 is RM5,148 more expensive.
Which is better for a large family?
The Nissan Serena e-Power is the clear choice for a large family because it has seven seats, a 50:50 split-folding third row and a sliding, reclining second row. The Xpeng G6 has only five seats, despite its larger 571-litre boot.
