XPENG has officially revealed the new generation of its flagship electric sedan, the P7, in China, marking a significant evolution in both design and technology. Now measuring over five metres in length, the redesigned model brings a bold, futuristic presence to the road while integrating cutting-edge hardware and software developed in-house.
At the core of the new P7’s technological suite are three proprietary XPeng Turing chips, working in tandem with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295P processor. The upgraded model comes with support for 5C ultra-fast charging across all variants, enabling significantly reduced charging times. The vehicle will be offered in three configurations, delivering an impressive CLTC-certified driving range of up to 820km, depending on variant.
Visually, the latest P7 introduces the ‘Xmart Face’ front fascia, characterised by a continuous star-ring light strip intersected with vertical beams that form an H-shaped lighting signature. This design language is echoed at the rear, where matching H-style tail lamps and an active rear spoiler reinforce the vehicle’s symmetrical visual identity. A full-width tailgate and integrated blue-lit intelligent driving indicators in the rear bumper complete the aerodynamic profile. The body achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.201 Cd, enhancing overall efficiency.
Design elements include blacked-out A-pillars for a floating roof effect and X-pattern wheels inspired by the XPeng logo. Interestingly, the centre wheel caps display “XPENG” in text rather than the brand’s emblem, signalling a subtle shift in branding.
The interior is anchored by what XPeng calls its “Technology Island” dashboard. Central to this is an expansive 87-inch augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) that combines Huawei-supplied hardware with XPeng’s proprietary software. A 15.6-inch centre screen features three-axis movement for flexible interaction, while capacitive touchpads on the door panels allow users to customise commands for functions such as seat ventilation, interior lighting, and glove box access. XPeng promises continued feature expansion through over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
