New G6 Long Range vs Enyaq Select 60 MY27: Australian family trips and charging

Put New G6 RWD Long Range first when your family regularly takes longer trips and can use suitable high-power chargers: its declared combined range and rapid-charge session give it the stronger documentary case for that task. Put Enyaq Select 60 MY27 first when its actual cabin and load space suit you, most charging happens during a long home dwell and the completed offer is attractive. You do not need to buy the largest charging number for a school-run car that replenishes overnight.

These are two rear-drive Australian electric SUVs, but the attractive online amounts are not yet matched driveaway quotations. The Enyaq is the new MY27 LFP Select 60, not the earlier MY26 car in a finance promotion. Before deciding, map one real family journey and try the base cars with your normal passengers and luggage. Either can fail that exercise despite a persuasive brochure.

Start with the longer trip you actually repeat. Locate compatible chargers, check access hours and alternatives, and leave reserve for an occupied or unavailable site. If the regular route has suitable high-power stops, G6's declared capability deserves weight. If the only convenient stop supplies much less power, do not assume the headline 12-minute session will appear there. We have not observed charger queues, a matching charge curve or either car's charging behaviour on that route.

Both selected specifications list 11 kW AC. That is an onboard capability, not a promise that a household has that supply. XPENG's example is 9.2 hours from 5 to 100%, while Škoda's is about 6.5 hours from 0 to 100% at 11 kW. Different packs and starting points make a simple faster-home-charge verdict unhelpful. Establish the household connection, usable charging dwell and expected daily replenishment instead. A comfortable overnight margin can make the rapid-charge difference much less important during an ordinary week.

The G6's selected card lists a surround-view parking system and a 15.6-inch central touchscreen. Check the supplied car and software: XPENG expressly warns that configuration can vary by production month. Driver assistance and parking features require supervision and do not establish autonomous driving, a safety winner or permission to use a function everywhere. Ask for a stationary demonstration of climate adjustment, demisting, phone connection and the reversing views you would use.

Enyaq Select's optional Signature Package includes Area View, head-up display, Canton audio, matrix headlights and powered driver adjustment with memory and massage. Those features cannot be included in the unoptioned base comparison merely because the demonstrator has them. If one of them is essential, request an equipped MY27 proposal and redo the price comparison. A manual seat or the standard parking arrangement may already be sufficient; decide after the actual task rather than paying for an option list without trying it.

XPENG declares 571 litres behind the rear seats and 1,374 litres with them folded. Škoda declares 585 and 1,710 litres VDA. A common measurement method with XPENG was not established, so the small seats-up numerical difference does not prove that Enyaq carries your pram better. Nor does a folded-seat total answer a holiday with the rear seats occupied. A differently shaped opening, floor or case can matter more than a headline number.

Bring the same pram, bags or dog crate to each car, retain the passenger positions you need and check that the tailgate closes. Fit the actual child restraints and set the front seat for the taller regular driver. Try access, rear ventilation and space for the charging cable as well as the main load. This article does not establish that three particular child seats fit or that either car has better ride comfort. Those are demonstrations and checks still to make.

Choose New G6 Long Range when the actual family fit works and its larger declared combined range and rapid-charge capability are useful on your repeated longer journeys. Choose Enyaq Select 60 MY27 when its base cabin, loading and ordinary charging routine do the job well enough that you do not need the G6 capability or the optional Signature equipment. If you do need those Enyaq options, compare the complete equipped proposal before deciding that the headline makes it cheaper.

This is Australian documentary research checked on 21 October 2026. Both current official specifications and the Enyaq MY27 price conditions were read; no CathayEV road, charging, luggage or reliability test is claimed. The existing local model comparison establishes a cross-shopping relationship, not a road test of these exact two current versions. There is no matched repair-time, insurance or resale forecast here. Confirm the actual vehicle and local support arrangements, or consider other Australian buying guides if neither meets the task.
