Free Servicing for Customers
As noted by XPeng, the new G6 clientele is most likely to qualify for the complimentary servicing policy. Their serviced maintenance, planned with the intention to eliminate ownership barrier for first time buyers, includes structured essential examinations, selective software upgrades, and other predefined all-inclusive maintenance packages that can easily become burdensome over the initial ownership period.
Capturing the Mid-Size EV Market

Meeting Competition
China’s EV market is one of the most populated in the world, with a huge number of manufacturers.

Technology and Software Support
In addition to mechanical maintenance, XPeng emphasizes that the program will provide regular over the air (OTA) updates for the G6, ensuring the vehicle is always equipped with the latest features and performance enhancements. Software is now a critical part of EV ownership and bundled technical support with regular maintenance is a great add-on.
