• XPENG G6 SUV added to Octopus EV’s growing line-up of over 100 electric cars
• Advanced tech, sleek design and up to 354 miles of range – all in one exciting new SUV
• Available through Octopus EV’s salary sacrifice scheme, making EVs more affordable than ever

London, 7th August 2025 – Octopus Electric Vehicles (Octopus EV), the UK’s leading EV-only leasing specialist, has been announced as an approved leasing partner for XPENG’s latest all-electric SUV, the XPENG G6, as the cutting-edge brand enters the UK market.

The G6 – a premium, technology-packed EV with a range of more than 350 miles and competitive pricing – is the latest model to join Octopus EV’s expanding line-up of market-leading electric cars.

Octopus EV now offers more than 100 different EVs for UK drivers, as consumer choice continues to grow, driving down prices and providing the latest technology for drivers to choose from.

XPENG, one of China’s most advanced technology companies and EV manufacturers, is the latest global brand to land in Britain, delivering high performance and accessible pricing for drivers looking to go electric.

Newer entrants to the UK continue to take up market share from some of the incumbent car brands, with Octopus’ latest figures highlighting the increased prominence of EV-first brands.

The partnership means customers can access the XPENG G6 through Octopus EV’s all-in-one salary sacrifice scheme, which includes the car, charger, home energy bundle, maintenance, insurance and more – helping drivers save up to 40% compared to traditional ownership.

Alvin Castillo, Procurement Director and EV Guru at Octopus Electric Vehicles, commented: “A few years ago, there were just a handful of EVs on the market – today we can offer more than 100 different models to drivers.

“Prices continue to become more affordable, the ranges continue to grow, and newer brands like XPENG are bringing a level of innovation that is helping to push some of the better-known brands to up their game.”

William Brown, Managing Director at IM Group, XPENG UK, said: “We’re pleased to team up with Octopus EV to make the XPENG G6 even more accessible to drivers across the UK.

“The scheme offers outstanding value and makes it easier than ever for employees to choose a premium, highly specified and electric vehicle with real long-distance capability and next-generation technology.”

The XPENG G6 brings together powerful performance, advanced technology, and zero emissions – perfect for UK drivers looking for an electric car that fits seamlessly into everyday life. With ultra-fast 800-Volt charging and an impressive range, it’s built to keep up with any daily demands.

Inside, the G6 delivers comfort and convenience all year round. Drivers can enjoy heated and ventilated leather-style front seats, a heated steering wheel for chilly mornings and smart tech that keeps everyone connected.

Features include four USB ports, two fast wireless phone chargers and a premium 18-speaker sound system for a truly immersive audio experience.
