The delivery of the P7 is a giant leap forward in realizing the company’s ambition to create an end-to-end in-house intelligent manufacturing ecosystem and value chain, from homegrown R&D and IP creation, through design and development, to manufacturing and rollout, complemented by direct as well as authorized sales network, after-sales services and customer support. This positions Xpeng well ahead of competition in China smart EV market.

The P7 is designed and built with four goals: Drive further. Charge quicker. Accelerate faster. Control smoother. It has already been very well received by the Chinese public following a series of multi-city test drives over the past couple of months.

The P7 smart EV sports sedan offers an unrivalled combination of elegance, style and comfort with cutting-edge autonomous vehicle and electric vehicle technology, to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

At 706km NEDC, the standard rear-wheel drive super-long range version of the P7 has the longest driving range among production EVs in China. The P7’s in-house designed 3-in-1 electric drive system is the most powerful permanent magnet synchronous motor in China’s EV market, with maximum motor efficiency reaching 97.5%, and the world’s first to be equipped with the German Infineon 950 IGBT module.

Xpeng collaborated with CATL to develop the P7’s prismatic lithium NCM cells. As a result, the P7’s ultra-thin high-performance battery pack is only 110mm in height, reaching 170Wh/kg energy density to deliver close to 81kWh of power with super-low drag coefficient of Cd0.236. 

Its chassis, jointly developed with a luxury sports-style German engineering brand, has front double-wishbone and rear five-linkage independent suspension.

The P7 is the first production car to be powered by NVIDIA's DRIVE Xavier system-on-a-chip, delivering 30 trillion operations per second, 12 times more powerful than the chips in most competing brands. Its Xmart OS 2.0 hardware uses Qualcomm’s top-line Snapdragon™ 820A vehicle processor, the most powerful in production cars, for unprecedented levels of intelligent control and comfort while driving.

Xpeng’s contracted and signed supercharging stations have expanded to 114 stations, while its supporting 3rd-party charging pile networks exceeded 200,000 units across China.

“The P7’s evolving intelligence will set it apart from other products. We are strongly committed in servicing our customers through regular OTA upgrades and quality services throughout the lifetime of their P7.” said Chairman He
