Verdict
The RM11,000 gap buys a very clear mechanical upgrade: the AWD Performance gets dual motors, all-wheel drive and 480 hp, cutting 0-100 km/h from 6.7 seconds to 4.1 seconds. But the RWD Long Range gives up no claimed range, battery size, boot space or top speed, with the same 80.8 kWh pack, 525 km range, 571-litre boot and 202 km/h maximum. For most Malaysian buyers, the cheaper car looks the calmer buy; the pricier one is for those who will use the extra punch.
Pick the Xpeng G6 RWD Long Range if you want the same 525 km range, 80.8 kWh battery and 571-litre boot for less money.
Pick the Xpeng G6 AWD Performance if 480 hp, all-wheel drive and a 4.1-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than purchase price and road tax.

RWD Long Range vs AWD Performance FAQ
Is the Xpeng G6 RWD Long Range or Xpeng G6 AWD Performance better?
The Xpeng G6 RWD Long Range is the better value because it keeps the same 525 km range, 80.8 kWh battery and 571-litre boot. The Xpeng G6 AWD Performance is better only if you want its 480 hp dual-motor pace.
What is the price difference?
The Xpeng G6 AWD Performance costs RM11,000 more than the Xpeng G6 RWD Long Range. It also has higher yearly road tax, at RM815 versus RM305.
Do both Xpeng G6 variants have the same range and battery?
Yes. Both use an 80.8 kWh battery and have a claimed EV range of 525 km, so the AWD Performance’s extra power does not come with a higher quoted range.
