Xpeng unveils fresh insights about its anticipated stylish, electric full-size sedan model
New Xpeng P7 Sports Sedan: A Game-Changer in the Premium Electric Vehicle Market
The automotive industry is abuzz with excitement as Xpeng, a leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, unveils its latest creation – the P7 sports sedan. Officially launched in August 2025, this premium electric vehicle promises to redefine the boundaries of performance, technology, and design.
Key Features and Specifications
The P7 sports sedan boasts an aggressive GT car side profile, setting the tone for its powerful and dynamic appearance. Under the hood, it offers both a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model with 270 kW (367 hp) and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) version delivering around 437-586 hp, depending on the source. With a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of approximately 3.7 seconds for the AWD model, the P7 is a force to be reckoned with.
The sedan's battery options include 74.9 kWh and 92.92 kWh packs built on an 800-volt architecture. This high-performance system enables an estimated range of up to 820 km (about 509 miles) under China’s CLTC cycle, and supports 5C fast charging, allowing it to add about 525 km (325 miles) of range in just 10 minutes with a compatible charger.
The P7's aerodynamic design is evident in its dimensions. Measuring over 5 meters long, 1,970 mm wide, and 1,427 mm tall, it achieves an impressively low drag coefficient of 0.201 Cd, competitive with luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz EQS (0.202 Cd).
Innovative Technology and Design
The interior of the P7 sports sedan is a testament to Xpeng's commitment to cutting-edge technology. The "Technology Island" dashboard features a 15.6-inch central touchscreen that physically moves in three axes, reacting to voice and gesture commands. An 87-inch AR-HUD using Huawei hardware with Xpeng software projects critical driving info onto the windshield. The cabin computing is powered by a suite of four chips, ensuring seamless operation of driving assistance and intelligent cabin functions.
The P7 sports sedan's design is focused on user interaction, with ambient lighting, a three-spoke sports steering wheel, and ergonomically designed seats with a 30-degree recline for comfort. Rear passengers enjoy an 8-inch entertainment screen, and the sedan offers a cargo volume ranging from about 22.3 ft³ to 68.1 ft³ with seats folded down.
Autonomous Driving and Pricing
The Xpeng P7 uses a LiDAR-free advanced driver-assist system, relying on cameras and radar for semi-autonomous functionality, branded as next-generation XNGP. The system is capable of 700 trillion operations per second, positioning the P7 at the forefront of autonomous driving technology.
The P7 sports sedan is expected to launch in Q3 2025 in China with a starting price below RMB 300,000 (~$41,750 USD), offering premium sedan features at a competitive price potentially below key competitors like Tesla Model S.
