Toyota bZ4X vs XPENG G6 (2025)

The XPENG G6 is £5 cheaper to buy. The Toyota bZ4X is cheaper to charge, roughly £144 a year versus £192 for the XPENG G6, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £235 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 230 miles for the Toyota bZ4X and 193 miles for the XPENG G6 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Toyota bZ4X goes roughly 37 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes in the Toyota bZ4X and 12 in the XPENG G6, so the XPENG G6 loses less time at each stop. So the Toyota bZ4X stops less often while the XPENG G6 stops for less time - pick on which you would rather do.

The Toyota bZ4X is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 60 mm narrower than the XPENG G6. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 540 mm of total clearance for the Toyota bZ4X and about 480 mm of total clearance for the XPENG G6. The Toyota bZ4X also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Toyota bZ4X and 90% for the XPENG G6. That gives the XPENG G6 a modest edge in retained real-world range. The XPENG G6's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Toyota bZ4X's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
