Described by Octopus EV as a “premium, technology-packed EV,” the G6 is the latest in a wave of global electric brands targeting the UK market, as consumer appetite for affordable, high-performance EVs continues to rise. The model will be available through Octopus EV’s all-in-one salary sacrifice scheme, which includes the vehicle, charger, home energy bundle, insurance, servicing and more – helping drivers cut costs by up to 40%.
“A few years ago, there were just a handful of EVs on the market,” said Alvin Castillo, Procurement Director at Octopus Electric Vehicles. “Today we can offer more than 100 different models… newer brands like XPENG are bringing a level of innovation that is helping to push some of the better-known brands to up their game.”
XPENG, one of China’s most advanced electric vehicle manufacturers, is entering the UK with a focus on tech-forward design, ultra-fast 800V charging and long-range capability. The G6 features heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an immersive 18-speaker sound system, as well as smart connectivity and fast wireless charging.
William Brown, Managing Director at IM Group, XPENG UK, said the partnership with Octopus EV would make the G6 “even more accessible,” adding that the scheme “offers outstanding value” for UK drivers seeking a high-spec, long-distance electric SUV.
