The XPeng P7 (Chinese: 小鹏P7; pinyin: Xiǎopéng P7) is a battery-powered executive sedan made by the Chinese electric car company XPeng, which started deliveries in the Chinese market on 29 June 2020.[7][8] Later, a refreshed version called the XPeng P7i was released in 2023.

Overview

[edit]

The XPeng P7 debuted as a semi-concept car on the 2019 Auto Shanghai show in April 2019. On November 30, 2019, the production model was unveiled at the Auto Guangzhou 2019.[9]

Production model

[edit]

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.[7][8][12]

The XPeng P7 is equipped with XPILOT 3.0, which is an autonomous driving assistance system that features XPeng Navigation Guided Pilot (XNGP). According to the data offered by Marie Cheung, it has 31 autonomous driving sensors in total, including 12 ultrasonic sensors, 10 autonomous driving high-sensitivity cameras and sub-systems, 5 high-precision millimeter wave radars, and 4 autonomous driving surround-view cameras, giving the XPeng P7 omnidirectional perception to supervise the changes of the surrounding environment.[13] After the process of data collection, Nvidia Drive AGX Xavier, which is the central high-performance computer equipped in the P7, utilizes and calculates data to perform P7's Xmart OS functions, such as automated driving and valet parking.[14] The XPeng P7 is also equipped with an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system as standard.

As of February 2021, listing images of an updated version of the P7 powered by lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) surfaced. The lithium iron phosphate battery powered models share the same design and features of the regular nickel cobalt manganese (also known as NCM or Ternary) lithium-ion battery models, and is powered by an electric motor with a maximum output of 196 kW (263 hp; 266 PS), and a rated output of 80 kW (107 hp; 109 PS).[15]

P7 Wing

[edit]

On November 20, 2021, the Xpeng P7 Wing limited edition was unveiled at Auto Guangzhou. It has electrically operated front scissor doors, and it is equipped with radars on each side to automatically detect and avoid collisions with obstructing obstacles when opening.[16][17]

XPeng P7i

[edit]

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, with two additional radars, and Orin-X chips replacing the Xavier chips found in the original P7, providing up to 508TOPS of calculation ability compared to the previous system's 30TOPS. 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 expected in the second half of 2023 will allow the 'City NGP' mode to function without high-definition maps, allowing for use anywhere in China.

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 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.[18] These output increases were achieved by increasing the cooling capacity while retaining the same motors, allowing for sustained travel at 190 kilometres per hour (118 mph) for up to 30 minutes without overheating. CLTC range for rear-wheel drive models is 702 kilometres (436 mi) and 610 kilometres (379 mi) for performance models.

It is 8 mm (0.31 in) 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 twenty-speaker Dynaudio sound system with Dolby Atmos software.[19]
