I spent a weekend with the Brabus #5 and I’m thrilled! Extremely quiet, even at just under 220 km/h. Very good ride comfort, especially if, like me, you prefer a softer setup for better suspension comfort!
Brutal acceleration that only really hits from about 50 km/h and culminates in a 0–200 km/h sprint in 10.2 seconds… There are almost no cars up to roughly 1,000 hp that are faster!
The actual charging performance is, I believe, the best of any passenger car available in the EU (only Zeekr shows a little more on paper, but probably not in real life) — it charges at peaks up to 425 kW! 10–80% in 13 minutes and 5–100% in 28 minutes.
The fit and finish are in places better than the Mercedes E‑Class...

Apart from the hopefully soon improved/reduced chimes and the horrendously hard-to-reach mute for the speed warning, the car is really a knockout!
Very, very quiet, comfortable, extremely fast (Brabus version), great build quality, great equipment!

XPeng G6

The XPeng G6 looks like a sleeker, tech-rich alternative to conventional electric SUVs, with an interior that feels modern, airy and purposefully designed for everyday comfort. On the road it’s composed and surprisingly engaging, giving drivers a smart mix of calm refinement and a playful streak — not bad for a car that quietly challenges the usual premium suspects.

The Sealion is better finished and of higher quality. But it has higher consumption and charges noticeably slower.

The Xpeng G6 strikes me as very convincing when it comes to technology, ultra-fast charging, comfort, and range — definitely worth keeping an eye on.
