XPeng (NYSE: XPEV) is starting to warm up for the G6, with the new model set to make its official debut at the Shanghai auto show in half a month.

The electric vehicle (EV) maker shared a "spy shot" of the G6 on April 3, showing the SUV's exterior but not revealing any other information.

On April 4, XPeng shared three additional images of the G6.

On March 17, XPeng management said during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call that the G6, a new energy SUV in the price range of 200,000 yuan ($29,020) to 300,000 yuan, will be unveiled at the Shanghai auto show and will be officially launched and delivered by the end of the second quarter.

The upcoming biennial Shanghai auto show will be held from April 18 - 27, with April 18 - 19 being the media days, April 20 - 21 being the professional visitors' days, and the general public being admitted from April 22 - 27.

XPeng's monthly sales target for the G6 is 2-3 times that of the P7, He Xiaopeng, the company's chairman and CEO, said on the call.

The G6's range will be significantly improved and will exceed expectations, and the interior space will be much larger than similar offerings from competitors, he said.

Earlier this month, the XPeng G6 appeared on a regulatory filing list in China, where its core specifications were disclosed.

The XPeng G6 has a length, width and height of 4,753 mm, 1,920 mm and 1,650 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,890 mm, according to those filing pages.

The G6 will compete with 's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y, XPeng management previously mentioned. The Tesla crossover has a length, width and height of 4,750 mm, 1,921 mm and 1,624 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,890 mm.

The XPeng G6 will be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, the former with a 218 kW peak power motor and the latter with an additional motor with 140 kW peak power.

The upcoming G6 will be the swing factor and the model will need to be successful to make XPeng truly relevant in the market again, said Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu's team in a research note sent to investors on March 22.

XPeng's monthly sales target for the G6 is two to three times that of the P7, meaning at least 5,000 units per month for the G6 based on a trailing six-month average, Yu's team noted.

XPeng may price the G6 similarly to the Tesla Model Y, hoping to attract consumers with its sleeker design and updated interior, the team said.

XPeng (NYSE: XPEV) will officially debut the G6 at next month's Shanghai auto show, and in Deutsche Bank's view, the new SUV's sales performance will be crucial for the electric vehicle maker.

The upcoming G6 will be the swing factor and the model will need to be successful to make XPeng truly relevant in the market again, Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu's team said in a research note sent to investors on Wednesday.

XPeng management said during an earnings call earlier this month that the G6 will be unveiled at the Shanghai auto show and will be officially launched and delivered by the end of the second quarter. The Shanghai auto show will be held from April 18 to April 27.

The model is a new energy SUV with a price range of RMB 200,000 ($29,250) - 300,000 and a monthly sales target of 2-3 times that of the P7, XPeng's management said.

That means at least 5,000 units per month of XPeng G6 sales, based on the trailing 6-month average, Yu's team noted.

XPeng will likely price the G6 similarly to the Model Y, hoping to attract consumers with its sleeker design and updated interior, the team said.

With increased G6 production, XPeng management believes total monthly deliveries could reach 15,000 units at some point in the third quarter, the team noted.

"This seems achievable and we model XPeng reaching this level in Sep," Yu's team wrote.

XPeng management said during a previous earnings call on August 23, 2022, that the company will launch a B-segment car in the first half of 2023 that will compete with the Tesla Model Y.

That model is the G6, and a regulatory filing earlier this month showed that it will come in three versions according to powertrain, including two single-motor versions as well as a dual-motor version. Its battery pack will have both lithium iron phosphate and lithium ternary batteries available.

The XPeng G6 measures 4,753 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width and 1,650 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,890 mm. For comparison, the Tesla Model Y measures 4,750 mm in length, 1,921 mm in width and 1,624 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,890 mm.

The G6 will have a significantly improved range that will exceed expectations and will have much more interior space than similar offerings from competitors, XPeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said during the earnings call earlier this month.

Previous reports suggested that the new new SUV would start at RMB 200,000-250,000 and is expected to be unveiled at this year's Shanghai auto show.

XPEV.US | 9868.HK

The latest regulatory filings reveal XPeng's (NYSE: XPEV) new SUV, which is expected to be released in a few months, as the electric vehicle (EV) maker looks to accelerate its new product launches this year.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) today announced the latest batch of models that will be allowed to be sold in China, and XPeng's new SUV, the G6, is included in the list.

The public can submit feedback on the list between March 9 and March 15. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process before a model is allowed to be sold in China.

There are three versions of the XPeng G6 in the catalog, including two single-motor versions and one dual-motor version.

One of the two single-motor versions will be powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, while the other single-motor version and the dual-motor version will both be powered by the more costly ternary lithium batteries.

The XPeng G6 has a length, width and height of 4,753 mm, 1,920 mm and 1,650 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,890 mm, according to these filing pages.

The model appears to be the one previously mentioned by XPeng management to compete with 's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y, which measures 4,750 mm in length, 1,921 mm in width, 1,624 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2,890 mm.

Both single-motor versions of the XPeng G6 are equipped with a motor with 218 kW peak power, while the dual-motor version has an additional 140 kW peak power motor.

All three versions of the XPeng G6 will be equipped with battery cells supplied by 's local competitor CALB, and the battery packs will be manufactured at XPeng's plant in Wuhan, Hubei.

XPeng management said during an earnings call on August 23, 2022 that the company will release a B-segment vehicle in the first half of 2023 that will compete with the Tesla Model Y.

The model was previously seen as possibly being named the G7 or G5, although spy photos shared by some local media last month showed that it will be called the G6.

XPeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said in a January 28 internal all-staff letter that the company will release two new models and revamp three existing older models in 2023, with a goal of delivering 200,000 vehicles for the year, according to a previous report by LatePost.

That report said at the time that the new XPeng SUV would start at RMB 200,000 ($28,680)-250,000 and was expected to be unveiled at this year's Shanghai auto show.

XPeng's current models on sale include the G3i, P5, P7 and G9, and the company has officially unveiled the P7i, a facelift of the P7, on March 6, but not the price. Earlier today, a media report said that XPeng may officially let the P7i go on sale and announce the price on March 10.
