Production

As a midsize electric sedan, the XPeng P7 is a direct competitor to the Tesla Model 3. As XPeng's second model after the G3, the range of the new sedan will be improved compared to the G3. According to the official release, the size of the XPeng P7 will be larger than most mid-size cars, with a wheelbase typical of mid-to-large size vehicles. In terms of battery life, the company said that "the range will be greatly improved"^[10] with a range of 562 to 706 km (349 to 439 mi) (NEDC) claimed. The XPeng P7 made its world debut at the 2019 Auto Shanghai show.^[11] Deliveries to customers started on 29 June 2020.^[3][4][12]

The XPeng P7 is equipped with XPILOT 3.0, which is an autonomous driving assistance system that features XPeng Navigation Guided Pilot (XNGP). It is equipped with 31 autonomous driving sensors in total, including 5 millimeter wave radars, 14 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, giving the XPeng P7 omnidirectional perception to supervise the changes of the surrounding environment.^[13] Data is processed on an Nvidia Drive AGX Xavier SoC to enable functions such as automated driving and valet parking.^[14] The XPeng P7 is also equipped with an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system as standard.

XPeng P7i (E28a)

The XPeng P7i is the refreshed version of the XPeng P7 for 2023. The facelift features the second generation XNGP XPeng intelligent driving assist system also found in the G9, which adds two LiDAR sensors, and two Nvidia Orin X chips replace the Xavier chips found in the original P7, providing up to 508 TOPS of calculation ability compared to the previous system's 30 TOPS. This allows for the introduction of two self driving modes, the first of which is called 'City NGP' which is a fully self driving system that relies on high-definition mapping, and was initially only available in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen at launch. The second system is called 'LCC' and works as a lane-centering cruise control which can obey traffic signals and cross intersections, but is not capable of making turns; it is usable in all parts of China. An update in the second half of 2023 allowed the 'City NGP' mode to function without high-definition maps, allowing for use anywhere in China.^[18]

The powertrain received an update, with rear wheel drive models now producing 203 kW (272 hp; 276 PS) and 440 N⋅m (325 lb⋅ft) of torque, while Performance variants add a 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS) front induction motor for all-wheel drive and now produce a combined total of 348 kW (467 hp; 473 PS) and 757 N⋅m (558 lb⋅ft) of torque with an improved 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 3.9 seconds.^[19] These output increases were achieved by increasing the cooling capacity by 89% while retaining the same motors, allowing for sustained travel at 190 kilometres per hour (118 mph) for up to 30 minutes without overheating, and 15% higher range in cold-weather conditions according to XPeng. CLTC range for rear-wheel drive models is 702 kilometres (436 mi) and 610 kilometres (379 mi) for Performance models.^[18]

It is 8 mm (0.31 in) shorter than the P7 due to revised rear body panels and taillight changes, but all other dimensions remain the same. The interior features several materials upgrades, including Nappa leather seats and a redesigned steering wheel and lower dashboard; additionally, the chipset running the dashboard screens has been upgraded to the Snapdragon SA8155P. A heat pump now comes standard, along with an electric motorized door option and an external trunk release. There is now an available twenty-speaker Dynaudio sound system with Dolby Atmos software.^[18]

Powertrain

All versions of the P7 are equipped with 800-volt silicon carbide power electronics and are capable of 5C charge rates. The basic version of the P7 is rear-wheel-drive and equipped with a 74.9 kWh Eve Energy-supplied LFP battery pack paired with a Luxshare-supplied permanent magnet motor outputting 270 kW (362 hp; 367 PS). The longer range variant pairs the same motor with a larger 92.2 kWh CALB-supplied NMC battery pack capable of up to 486 kW peak charging rates, allowing it to charge 525 km (326 mi) of range in 10 minutes, or charge from 10–80% in 11.3 minutes. The all-wheel drive variant uses the larger battery and adds a 167 kW (224 hp; 227 PS) induction motor to the front axle for a total of 586 hp (437 kW; 594 PS). All versions have a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).^{[32][38][39][40]}
