Xpeng G6 Super Extended Range Officially Launched, Introducing the Second-Generation VLA into Models Under 200,000 Yuan for the First Time

On March 6th, XPeng G6 Super Extended Range was officially launched, marking the first time the second-generation VLA has been introduced into a model priced under 200,000 yuan.

It is reported that the new model is equipped with a 55.8kWh large battery and a 60L large fuel tank, achieving a combined CLTC range of 1704 km (China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle) and a pure electric CLTC range of 430 km, making it the SUV with the longest overall range globally. As the only extended-range SUV in the 200,000 yuan price range with standard 800V+5C charging, it can go from 10% to 80% SOC in just 12 minutes, with a maximum charging range of 314 km, the fastest charging speed in its class.

The XPeng G6 is the first model worldwide to incorporate the second-generation VLA (Visual Language Action Model), and it also features the highest effective computing power at the vehicle level in its class, with a total computing power of up to 2250 TOPS, providing strong support for advanced intelligent assisted driving.

The Max version is equipped with one Turing AI chip, the Ultra SE version has two Turing AI chips, and the Ultra version features three Turing AI chips. The different versions’ computing configurations can meet all scene requirements.

On March 2nd, XPeng officially released the second-generation VLA (Visual-Language-Action) intelligent driving system. This system supports P gear activation of full-scenario assisted driving in place, covering highway, narrow roads, and mapless parking lots. XPeng Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng announced that the second-generation VLA will be officially rolled out this month.

Currently, end-to-end small models are gradually reaching the ceiling of intelligent driving capabilities, marking a critical turning point in autonomous driving development. Liu Xianming, head of XPeng’s General Intelligent Center, previously stated, “The essence of autonomous driving is an AI problem; the scale law of AI also applies to physical world models.” The breakthrough of the second-generation VLA is not just a single capability upgrade but follows the scale law of “model × computing power × data × ontology.”

The reaction from the capital market has been more direct, with international institutions like Morgan Stanley issuing a “Buy” rating for XPeng. Morgan Stanley’s research report believes that the deployment of the second-generation VLA enables XPeng to compete directly with Tesla in the global market, potentially bringing a new variable to the landscape of the global intelligent vehicle industry.
