Overview

• A OnePoll survey of 2,000 UK motorists commissioned by XPENG UK ranks desired sci‑fi features such as self-cleaning paintwork, passenger micro-climates and levitating wheels.
• Seventy-one percent of respondents say in-car technology matters more to them than colour or perceived status.
• Thirty-seven percent expect many futuristic features to arrive within a decade, and about a third think flying cars are plausible, with 61% of that group saying they would feel comfortable flying now.
• The poll highlights a knowledge gap as 35% admit they don’t use all the tech in their current car, 28% can’t deactivate the passenger airbag and 25% can’t reset the tyre-pressure sensor.
• An XPENG spokesperson points to current capabilities including the G6’s self-parking and phone-controlled manoeuvres, charging in as little as 20 minutes and 18-speaker surround sound.
