Full transcript

1. 0:00Kicking off this fierce spec battle between  the Tesla Model Y and the XPENG L03, the Tesla
2. 0:05clearly commands more road presence by being  longer, wider, and taller than its new rival.
3. 0:12Stepping inside both 5-seat cabins,
4. 0:14they take wildly different approaches to  digital ergonomics and passenger comfort.
5. 0:20When it comes to mass, the Tesla steps  onto the scales a bit lighter at 1,981 kg,
6. 0:26giving it a natural edge for  efficiency and handling agility.
7. 0:31The Model Y absolutely dominates  in rear cargo practicality,
8. 0:35offering a cavernous 835 L of standard trunk  space that completely dwarfs the XPENG.
9. 0:42Up front, both EVs feature a handy frunk,  but Tesla extends its storage lead with
10. 0:47an extra 105 L of hidden underfloor  space that the L03 simply doesn't have.
11. 0:54For those planning to haul gear, the  Tesla secures a slight towing victory
12. 0:58by supporting up to 1,600 kg of braked capacity.
13. 1:04Fortunately, both SUVs can safely handle a
14. 1:0775-kilogram roof load for  your bikes or cargo boxes.
15. 1:12Inside the digital ecosystem, the  XPENG L03 secures a 9.2 out of 10
16. 1:17and the overall win by offering highly  requested Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
17. 1:21whereas the Model Y scores a 9.0 relying  entirely on its snappy native software.
18. 1:28Sending power exclusively to the rear wheels,
19. 1:30the Model Y packs a significantly  stronger punch with 309 PS on tap.
20. 1:37That rear-wheel-drive advantage  carries over to twisting force,
21. 1:40where the Tesla delivers 350 Newton-meters  of torque for much stronger pulling power.
22. 1:47Despite its lower power figures, the XPENG  actually launches from 0-100 km/h faster,
23. 1:53completing the sprint in just 6.6 s.
24. 1:58However, if you find yourself on the open highway,
25. 2:00the Tesla can keep pulling all the  way to a higher top speed of 201 km/h.
26. 2:07While neither vehicle offers true  hands-free autonomous driving,
27. 2:10the XPENG L03 takes the win with an 8.2  out of 10 for its robust Bosch advanced
28. 2:15driver assistance hardware, narrowly  beating out Tesla's vision-only system
29. 2:19which requires a subscription  for its Level 2 Plus features.
30. 2:24While they are neck and neck on paper with  the Tesla claiming 525 km of WLTP range,
31. 2:30the L03 actually pulls ahead with a much better  estimated 420 km of mixed real-world driving.
32. 2:39The Tesla ultimately proves to  be the more efficient machine,
33. 2:42utilizing its heat pump to deliver an excellent  official consumption rate of just 13.4 kWh/100 km.
34. 2:51XPENG manages that longer real-world range by  packing a larger 69.5 kilowatt-hour LFP battery,
35. 2:57bringing the added versatility  of Vehicle-to-Load bidirectional
36. 3:00charging to power external appliances,  which the Model Y completely lacks.
37. 3:06Both SUVs include 11-kilowatt AC standard  charging out of the box, but the XPENG can
38. 3:11pull significantly higher DC fast charging  speeds up to 236 kW at a rapid public stall.
39. 3:19Thanks to that higher peak power, the  L03 completes its 10 to 80 percent fast
40. 3:24charge in just 20 min, shaving  precious time off the Tesla's stop.
41. 3:30Safety is a major priority for family haulers,  and the Tesla boasts a flawless 5.0 stars out of
42. 3:355 from Euro NCAP, while official rating  data is not available for the XPENG.
43. 3:41Both manufacturers protect your investment with  an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty,
44. 3:47but XPENG offers better peace  of mind with a longer 7-year
45. 3:50or 160,000-kilometer general vehicle warranty.
46. 3:56Looking at the financial damage, the XPENG L03  undercuts its rival with a starting price of
47. 4:0138,600 € in DE, whereas the Tesla Model Y  demands a slightly heavier 40,970 € in DE,
48. 4:0941,990 lbs in the UK, and 44,990 $ in the US.
49. 4:18It is an incredibly tight finish, but  the XPENG L03 takes the crown with a
50. 4:229.1 out of 10, barely edging out  the Tesla Model Y's 8.9 out of 10,
