XPeng Accessories: A Practical Guide to G6, G9 and P7
CarMoods TeamXPeng's Australian line-up has grown fast, but the accessory market around it is still catching up. If you drive a G6, G9 or P7, you've probably noticed the problem already: generic "universal fit" covers and mats on big marketplace sites are a loose approximation at best, and the official accessory list from the dealer is short and expensive. The gap between "fits most cars" and "fits your dashboard, your key shape, your boot opening" is exactly where most owners end up disappointed. A look through the XPeng accessories collection shows there's now a reasonable spread of gear actually cut to XPeng's panel shapes, key fobs and cabin layout, which makes this a good time to work through what's genuinely worth fitting.
Getting the Steering Feel Right
XPeng's steering wheels are a mixed bag depending on model and trim: the G6 and G9 lean toward a thicker, flat-bottomed rim with capacitive touch zones built in for driver-attention monitoring, while the P7's sedan-tuned wheel is slightly slimmer. That matters for a cover, because a cover that's cut generously enough for a thick SUV rim will sit loose and twist on a slimmer sedan wheel, and a snug sedan cover won't stretch over a chunkier rim without distorting the stitching.
Because XPeng's cabins already lean heavily on glass, piano-black trim and capacitive surfaces, a cover's texture matters more here than on an older, more analogue interior. A smooth PU or thin leather wrap can feel slippery against palms that are also gripping a glass-smooth gear selector and door handles, so a perforated or micro-textured leather tends to work better for grip than it would in a more traditional cabin. Worth noting if your wheel has the capacitive touch strips for hands-on-wheel detection: a cover cut specifically for your model keeps those sensor zones where the car expects them, where a loose universal cover can sit over them unevenly and trigger false "hands off" warnings on longer drives.

If you're not sure which cut suits your car, the simplest check is to run a tape measure around the rim at its thickest point rather than guessing from the model name alone — trim levels on the same model sometimes ship with a different wheel. For general sizing technique, our guide to measuring a steering wheel properly applies just as well here.
Protecting the Boot and Cabin
The G6 in particular has a deep, flat boot floor and a frameless tailgate opening, which is great for loading bulky items but means the factory carpet takes a beating from anything with a hard edge — shopping trolleys, tool cases, folded prams. A moulded TPE boot liner with raised edges does the actual protecting; carpet mats alone just hide the stain until resale time, when a prospective buyer lifts them up anyway.
The tailgate itself is worth a second look too. Because the G6's boot opening is wide and low, it's easy to scuff the inside edge of the tailgate or bumper corner while loading something awkward, which is where a dedicated anti-kick pad earns its keep — it's a thin, almost invisible layer that takes the scrape instead of the paint or trim underneath.
XPeng G6 TPE Boot Mat and Cargo Liner
Inside the cabin, the same logic applies to the floor. XPeng's carpets are light-coloured in a lot of trims, which looks clean in the showroom and shows every muddy boot print within a fortnight of real use. A fitted TPE mat set with raised lips copes with Australian conditions — wet shoes, beach sand, the odd spilled drink bottle — far better than the factory carpet, and it lifts out for a hose-down rather than needing a steam clean.
Key Case Protection and Keyless Security
XPeng's key fobs use passive keyless entry, the same relay-vulnerable system fitted to most modern cars, where a thief with a signal relay device can pick up and amplify your key's signal from inside your house to unlock and start the car in your driveway. A hard key case won't block a relay attack on its own — for that you'd want a signal-blocking pouch or to store the key further from exterior walls — but it does protect the fob itself from the everyday damage that's far more likely to actually happen: a cracked case from being dropped, scuffed leather from living in a pocket with coins, or a faded finish from months in direct sun on a cafe table.
Leather and suede cases feel nicer day to day but will show wear faster in an Australian climate — UV exposure dries out natural leather and makes stitching brittle over a year or two of being left on a dashboard in summer. A zinc alloy shell with a leather or suede outer shell gives you the best of both: a rigid case that actually protects the buttons and signal underneath, finished in a material that still feels good to hold.

A case that's genuinely moulded to your fob also matters for button feel — a loose universal pouch muffles the lock and boot-release buttons under a layer of fabric, which gets annoying fast when you're trying to unlock the car one-handed with shopping in the other arm.
Charging Away From a Wallbox
Like most of its Chinese-market stablemates, XPeng's higher-spec models support Vehicle-to-Load discharge, which lets the car's battery act as a portable power source through the charge port rather than only taking power in. In practice that's useful for running camp fridges, power tools at a work site, or keeping something charged during a blackout — but you need the right adapter for Australia's three-pin socket standard, and it has to be rated for the current you actually intend to draw, not just whatever was cheapest.
A 16A-rated Type 2 to Australian socket adapter is the sensible baseline: it covers everything from phone chargers to a decent camp fridge without the adapter itself becoming the weak link in the circuit. If you're setting one up, keep it in a labelled pouch with your charging cable so it doesn't end up loose and forgotten in the boot — our guide to EV charging cable storage covers how to keep that whole kit organised rather than tangled.

Worth checking your owner's manual before you rely on V2L for anything important: not every XPeng variant ships with it switched on, and some require it to be activated in the car's settings menu first.
Comfort on Longer Drives
XPeng's seats are generally well shaped out of the box, but the long, flat highway stretches that make up a lot of Australian driving — think a weekend run between capital cities, or a work ute-style commute out past the suburbs — still catch most stock headrests out on lumbar support after an hour or two. A dedicated neck and lumbar cushion set fills the specific gap between where the seat's own bolstering stops and where your lower back actually needs support, rather than just adding generic padding everywhere.

If back or neck discomfort on longer drives is a recurring issue rather than an occasional one, it's worth reading more broadly on seat setup and posture — our new EV owner checklist covers comfort upgrades alongside the other accessories worth sorting out in your first few weeks of ownership.
Small Personal Touches
Not everything about owning a newer, less common brand has to be purely functional. A branded umbrella that actually matches your car — rather than a generic black one from a servo — is a small thing, but it's the kind of detail that owners of less mainstream brands tend to appreciate more than most, simply because there's so little XPeng-branded merchandise around in Australia yet.
XPeng Branded Fully Automatic Umbrella
It's also genuinely practical to keep one in the boot permanently rather than relying on remembering to grab one — a fully automatic open-and-close mechanism is worth the small extra bulk when you're getting in and out of the car one-handed in the rain.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do universal steering wheel covers fit XPeng models properly?
Not reliably. XPeng's wheels vary in thickness and profile between the G6/G9 and the P7, and many trims include capacitive touch zones for hands-on-wheel detection that a generic cover can sit over unevenly. A cover cut for your specific model keeps the fit snug and keeps those sensor zones clear.
2. Does a key fob case stop relay theft on an XPeng?
A standard hard or leather key case protects the fob from everyday damage — drops, scuffs, UV fading — but it won't block a relay attack on its own. If relay theft is a specific concern, you'd need a signal-blocking pouch or to keep the key away from exterior walls and windows overnight.
3. Can I use a V2L adapter on any XPeng model?
Only on variants that support Vehicle-to-Load discharge, and even then it's sometimes switched off by default and needs to be enabled in the car's settings. Check your owner's manual before buying an adapter, and make sure it's rated for at least the current you plan to draw.
4. Will a boot liner fit the G6 properly, or do I need a universal one?
A moulded liner cut to the G6's boot floor and raised edges will sit flush and protect the corners that a flat universal mat simply can't reach. Given how wide and low the G6's boot opening is, the fitted option is worth the difference in protecting the tailgate's inside edge.
5. Are XPeng-specific accessories much more expensive than generic ones?
Not necessarily — fit is about the pattern the item is cut to, not the price bracket. A correctly fitted cover, mat or case usually costs about the same as a generic equivalent; the difference shows up in how well it sits and how long it lasts, not on the price tag.
XPeng's Australian range is still young, but the accessories now cut specifically for the G6, G9 and P7 mean you no longer have to choose between a proper fit and decent style. Start with whichever part of the car gets the most daily wear in your situation — the wheel if you drive a lot, the boot if you're hauling gear regularly, the key if it lives in your pocket — and work outward from there. The full XPeng accessories range is worth a browse if you want to see what else has been cut for your model, and if you're weighing it up against another Chinese-market EV, our Zeekr accessories guide and the broader GWM, Chery, Jaecoo and Geely basics guide cover similar ground for those brands.
