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.
Further inside, occupants are greeted by dynamic ambient lighting and a sporty three-spoke steering wheel. Rear passengers benefit from capacious space, premium materials, and the convenience of intelligent control features.
The single-motor rear-wheel drive variant produces 367hp, while the dual-motor all-wheel drive model generates a combined output of 595hp. Customers can choose between lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium battery options, with capacities of 74.9 kWh and 92.2 kWh, respectively.
The vehicle supports high-powered charging of up to 486 kW, allowing a 10-minute charge to add up to 512km of range. Charging from 10% to 80% can be completed in just 11.3 minutes, placing the P7 among the fastest-charging vehicles in its class.
Driving range varies by configuration, with the standard model rated at 702km, the long-range version at 820km, and the all-wheel drive variant delivering 750km, figures based on China’s CLTC testing cycle.
The revamped P7 enters a competitive segment of the EV market and will be positioned against strong rivals such as the Tesla Model 3, Xiaomi SU7, Zeekr 001, and BYD Han L. Pricing details are expected to be disclosed in late August when the vehicle is officially launched to the public.
XPeng’s latest offering underscores its ambition to lead the premium electric sedan market, combining bold aesthetics with groundbreaking performance and next-generation connectivity.
