Evolution Auto will officially introduce the all-new XPENG G6 to the Sri Lankan market at an exclusive launch event on 15 May at the XPENG showroom by Evolution Auto. The launch marks the arrival of a next-generation smart electric SUV that aims to redefine premium electric mobility in the country.
Positioned as a global competitor to the Tesla Model Y, the XPENG G6 sets a new benchmark in Sri Lanka’s premium EV segment by combining advanced technology, intelligent design, and refined comfort. Its entry reflects a broader shift in the local automotive landscape, where globally recognised electric vehicles are becoming increasingly accessible, supported by strengthened sales, service, and aftercare ecosystems.
The introduction of XPENG through Evolution Auto represents more than the launch of a single model. It brings a globally established smart mobility brand to Sri Lanka—one known for its rapid international expansion and strong focus on integrating artificial intelligence, autonomous driving systems, and connected ecosystems into everyday transportation.
The XPENG G6 embodies this vision, offering a blend of performance and intelligence. Key features include a driving range of up to 480 km (WLTP), Level 2 autonomous driving via XPILOT, a 15.6-inch central touchscreen interface, and an X-Opera 18-speaker sound system designed to deliver an immersive in-car experience.
Additional features include a 570-litre boot space, ambient interior lighting, ventilated front seats, and a fully integrated mobile application enabling remote parking, scheduled charging, climate control, and digital key sharing—aligning the vehicle with modern connected lifestyles.
Beyond vehicles, XPENG continues to position itself as a future mobility innovator, with a broader ecosystem that includes models such as the P7+ sedan, G9 SUV, and X9 MPV, alongside developments in humanoid robotics under “Xpeng Iron” and its AEROHT flying car division, underscoring its long-term vision for integrated mobility and technology.
Commenting on the launch, Ashan Wickramasinghe, Head of Marketing at Evolution Auto, said the introduction of XPENG marks a new era in intelligent electric mobility for Sri Lanka. He noted that the G6 represents the convergence of technology, sustainability, and innovation in everyday transport, and is expected to set a new benchmark in the country’s premium EV market, supported by Evolution Auto’s focus on customer experience and aftersales excellence.
