Xpeng P7 Electric Sports Sedan Goes Up For Order, Offers AWD And Up To 439 Miles Of Range

Following a preview last year, Xpeng Motors has begun accepting pre-orders for its P7 electric sports sedan.

Featuring a drag coefficient of just 0.236, the P7 has a sleek exterior with flowing curves, flush-mounted door handles and frameless windows. The model also boasts a steeply sloping panoramic glass roof and an upright rear end.

Moving into the cabin, drivers will find a digital instrument cluster that flows into a massive touchscreen infotainment system. The latter features voice recognition technology, an app store and a Snapdragon 820 processor.

Elsewhere, the model has a two-spoke steering wheel with a camera that ensures you are paying attention to the road. There’s also ambient lighting, a premium audio system and optional Nappa leather seats. The model also has a minimalist design as it largely eschews switchgear.

Xpeng didn’t release detailed performance specifications, but the P7 has a 80.9 kWh battery pack and rear- or all-wheel drive. The entry-level rear-wheel drive variant has a range of 353 miles (568 km) in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), while the “Super-Long Range” model increases that figure up to 439 miles (706 km).

Customers can also opt for a dual-motor performance variant which can accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.3 seconds. However, the company declined to mention that variant’s range.

When the battery is low, the P7 can go from a 30% to 80% charge in as little as 28 minutes. The car is also capable of delivering 75 miles (120 km) of range after 10 minutes of charging.

While the powertrain is interesting, the real coup de grâce is the Level 3 semi-autonomous driving system. Dubbed XPILOT 3.0, the system uses 14 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and 5 millimeter-wave radars to give the car a detailed look at its surroundings.

The system enables the P7 to drive itself under certain conditions and the model can also park itself. Xpeng also said the Level 2 and Level 3 semi-autonomous driving systems operate “concurrently to provide complete redundancy.”

The P7 is currently available to order in China and the first deliveries are slated to begin in June. After subsidies, pricing starts at ¥229,900 ($32,442 / £26,138 / €29,975) and climbs to ¥339,900 ($47,965 / £38,648 / €44,341) for the performance variant.
