Chinese car maker XPeng has brought back a 10-year warranty on its G6 mid-sized electric SUV, making it one of very few brands offering such long coverage in Australia.
This is not the first time XPeng has provided a decade’s worth of warranty on the G6. In November last year the company offered a 10-year warranty on the G6 as it launched in Australia before returning to the five-year coverage offered across its model range.
Jason Clarke, the CEO of TrueEV - the importer, retailer and distributor of XPeng in Australia - said the company had brought back the longer warranty after customer feedback.

XPeng G7 caught in the wild: Undisguised mid-size electric SUV ready to fight Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6... and it's coming here!
“We listened to our customers, and we’re excited to bring back this incredible offer,” said Clarke.
According to XPeng, the offer includes the standard five-year warranty, plus a five-year extended warranty on car parts which is valued at $2990. A 10-year warranty on battery parts ($1990 worth of value) is also included.
Ten-year warranties aren’t common in Australia. Currently the only brands offering 10 years of coverage include Mitsubishi, MG and most recently Nissan.
Seven-year warranties are offered by GWM Haval, Kia, Skoda, LDV and KGM Ssangyong, while BYD and Isuzu offer six years. Most brands generally offer five-year warranties such as Toyota, Ford and Mazda.
“The XPeng G6 is redefining electric driving, and now with a 10-year extended warranty, it’s an even smarter choice,” Clarke said.
The XPeng G6 arrived in December 2024 as a direct rival to Tesla’s Model Y. The $54,800 G6 Standard Range has a 66kWh battery and can travel up to 435km (WLTP), while the $59,800 Long Range with its 87.5kWh battery can travel up to 570km (WLTP).
XPeng, which is part-owned by the Volkswagen Group, will also bring its electric G7 SUV to Australia in 2026.
Over the past two years Xpeng has arrived along with many other Chinese electric carmakers such as BYD, Leapmotror, Deepal and Zeekr in a bid to win over Australians.
While XPeng has Tesla’s Model Y in its sights, another rival in the form of Geely’s EX5 SUV has just entered the Australia market with a lower price tag. Unlike XPeng, Geely is one of the biggest car makers in China. Geely owns Volvo along with several other smaller Chinese brands such as Zeekr.
