XPeng P7+ Review: Price, Specs, Availability

Xpeng is seen by immoderate arsenic the Chinese reply to Tesla, not lone due to the fact that of its accent connected tech, peculiarly self-driving, but besides successful presumption of positioning. One of 3 Chinese EV start-ups listed successful the US for a agelong time, it was champion seen arsenic an also-ran acknowledgment to disappointing income against better-known Nio and income powerhouse Li Auto.

That each changed for Xpeng past twelvemonth acknowledgment to 2 caller models. Sales of the first, the Xpeng Mona M03, began successful August and rapidly the car became Xpeng’s best-selling model. Then, successful November income began of XPeng P7+, and it marked a immense reset for the Shenzhen-headquartered start-up.

The unveiling of the P7+ astatine past year’s Paris Auto Show successful Europe speaks volumes astir the increasing assurance of the company, on with the accelerated acceleration of exports. April this twelvemonth saw the car displayed astatine Milan Design Week earlier going connected merchantability connected the continent aboriginal successful 2025. Xpeng already sells cars successful the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Poland and Italy.

Both the Mona M03 and P7+ are really liftbacks, a benignant of hatchback. As such, they disagree importantly from XPeng’s erstwhile cars, which were each sedans and SUVs, and a unusual prime fixed the constricted entreaty of liftbacks successful the Chinese market.

However, acold much importantly, mounting the P7+ isolated from each erstwhile Xpeng cars is its democratization of self-driving features. Xpeng has agelong prided itself connected its prowess successful this area.  In 2021, the institution was the archetypal to motorboat a mass-produced car equipped with Lidar, the P5. This by 2022 allowed what Xpeng refers to arsenic NGP (navigation guided pilot) for self-driving (officially driving assistance) successful a prime set of cities (City NGP), a archetypal successful China.

Complete Reset

In 2023, Xpeng introduced a much precocious mentation called XNGP connected its G9 and P7i models, we tested it connected the latter. Xpeng gradually rolled it retired crossed the state until the strategy covered astir roads successful China.

The occupation was that arsenic Xpeng rolled the strategy retired done its range, each exemplary took a two-tier attack to the self-driving ADAS features. On the top-of-the-range Max versions they utilized Lidar, portion little spec versions made bash with a camera-based system, which restricted usage to highways.

Xpeng’s P7+ marks a implicit reset. Gone are the costly Lidar units, and yet from motorboat Xpeng claimed the P7+ was susceptible of the aforesaid level of driving assistance arsenic its Lidar-toting models.

With sensors present consisting of 12 outer cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and 3 millimeter wavelength radars, according to the marque it allows some versions (there are lone two) of the P7+ to connection the aforesaid flagship level of self-driving ability. And dissimilar Tesla and immoderate others, it comes astatine nary other outgo to purchasers. We'll travel backmost to this.

The size of the artillery battalion and the powerfulness of the centrifugal are the lone existent differences betwixt the 2 versions of the P7+. My trial car was the Ultra-Long Range Max, which has the larger 76.3-kWh artillery battalion and a much almighty 230-kW motor. Both models usage lithium robust phosphate batteries but the cheaper Long Range Max mentation uses a smaller 60.7-kWh pack. Currently, the P7+ lone comes with a azygous rear-mounted electrical motor, and the basal exemplary makes bash with a little almighty 180-kW unit. Range for WIRED's trial mentation is claimed to beryllium 450 miles utilizing China’s municipality driving-skewed and much forgiving CLTC trial cycle.
