Move over, Elon – there's a new electric dream machine in town! 🌟 Chinese EV maker XPeng just landed in Ireland with its G6 Coupe SUV, and it’s already turning heads (and charging stations) with Tesla-rivaling tech. Forget autopilot upgrades – this sleek ride parks itself and comes standard with autonomous driving features. 🛠️
Speed Meets Silicon
The G6 Coupe isn’t playing nice: 0-100kph in 6.7 seconds and a 570km range? That’s Dublin to Cork and back on one charge! 🔋 Brand Manager Alan Furlong told us they’re scrambling for more stock after selling 12 cars in one weekend. Talk about a ‘little fabulous bird’ soaring – XPeng’s Chinese name ‘Xiǎopéng’ might need an upgrade! 🦅
Showroom Showdown
Plot twist: XPeng set up shop right next to BYD in South Dublin. 🍿 With plans to hit 60 countries this year, this 10-year-old startup’s global ambitions are clearer than a freshly Windexed windshield. Will Tesla fans switch teams for that sweet AI parking magic? Only time – and Ireland’s EV lovers – will tell. ⏳
