How to check your XPENG G6 XOS version before following a tutorial

A G6 tutorial can show a different menu because it covers another market, model year or software release. Start with the installed XOS version rather than trying every translated menu you find online.

CHECK YOUR CARXPENG G6 · 2025 English LHD international manual · XOS V5.8.0 · equipment dependent

Checked on 27 October 2026 against XPENG’s 2025 English LHD G6 manual for XOS V5.8.0, printed pages 3, 65–67. Chinese-market owner reports identify the question; they do not establish a common defect, a guaranteed fix, or matching export equipment. Stop if your car’s controls differ.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Open Settings → General on the G6 and read the XOS version number. Tap the version area for details, then match it with the correct English manual and the exact model-year and steering-side edition.

Before you start

Park and keep the car available for a read-only settings check. You do not need to start an update to view the installed version. Record the feature you are trying to use as well as the build number; a version alone does not identify optional hardware.

Record the version and choose the right instructions

1Open GeneralOn the central display, open Settings → General. Locate the XOS version information described in the international handbook.
2Read the detailsTap the version number area to view the installed infotainment details. Record the full version rather than only the first major number.
3Match the publicationIn XPENG’s official manual library, select G6, the correct model year, English and the appropriate LHD or RHD edition. Compare its stated system version.
4Stop at a mismatchIf a guide’s controls are absent, check the current in-car instructions or ask XPENG support. Do not install domestic-market software to obtain a missing menu.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

You should have an exact build number and a matching manual reference to include in a support request. If an update is offered, review its separate prerequisites and time requirements; the car cannot be used during installation.

Chinese owner report — anecdotal context

A Chinese owner’s G6 update report covers domestic Xmart OS 4.3.2 and describes changed behaviour. This guide’s 2025 international English LHD source instead states XOS V5.8.0, illustrating why those releases must not be equated. Report dated 2023-09-27; domestic-market anecdote.

Common questions

Does the newest major version prove every feature is fitted?+

No. Equipment and market specification still matter, and the manual marks some functions as optional.

Do I need to update merely to read the version?+

No. Viewing the version is a settings check; installing an update is a separate operation.
