Xpeng Australia has extended the availability of one of the longest new-car warranties currently available in Australia, but it won’t be around forever.
Buyers who place an order for the Xpeng G6 – the brand’s rival to the popular Tesla Model Y – between February 1 and June 30 will receive a complimentary 10-year, 220,000km vehicle warranty.
The promotion also includes 10 years of battery coverage, up from the standard eight-year warranty for the high-voltage battery pack.
The company is also offering to backdate this longer warranty coverage to vehicles bought after January 31, when the 10-year warranty offer was originally due to cease.
Xpeng entered the Australian market last year, offering the G6 – thus far its only product here – with the 10-year warranty from launch.

For context, the G6’s standard warranty coverage is for five years or 120,000km (whichever comes first).
Xpeng claims owners save $4980 through this promotion.
In addition to the warranty coverage extensions, Xpeng is also waiving the cost of the G6’s first service, which is required at 12 months or 20,000km, and is usually capped at $238.
The announcement of the promotional aftersales offers comes just a handful of months before Tesla’s updated Model Y arrives in Australia from May.
The Model Y is not only a direct rival for the G6, it’s also Australia’s best-selling electric vehicle (EV).
Xpeng is one of just a handful of carmakers in Australia to offer a 10-year warranty.
Nissan will extend its standard five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty coverage to 10 years/300,000km, provided owners use an official dealer for scheduled servicing.
Private buyers of MG vehicles receive 10 years and 250,000km of warranty coverage, without service timing requirements.
Mitsubishi extends its five-year/100,000km warranty if owners complete their scheduled services at a Mitsubishi dealer, extending the coverage to 10 years and 200,000km if these conditions are met.
