XPeng's XSmart operating system was originally Android-based, but the company switched to its own, proprietary software. This allows Xpeng to make over-the-air updates to its car's software and infotainment systems, as well as control its nascent AI capabilities.
The P7's interior is made of high-quality materials, and its leather seats are comfortable. XPeng also offers Lamborghini-inspired scissor doors on its P7.
Rear-wheel-drive
Xpeng has released a new rear-wheel drive version of its P7 electric sports sedan. This version will be produced in the company's own factory in Zhaoqing, China. According to the company, this new model will have a battery management system optimized for rear-wheel drive long-range versions.
The company's new rear-wheel drive P7 has a range of 530 kilometres. The company plans to start pre-sales in China in early July, with an eventual customer delivery planned for June or July. It will come with a price tag of around RMB 240,000.
In addition to the RWD long-range model, XPeng also offers a 4WD high-performance version. The 4WD High Performance model has 424 horsepower and 161 pound-ft of torque. This version also has a range of up to 800 km.
Another version of the P7 is the Wing edition. This model comes with a scissor-wing door design. It is also available in three body color schemes. This model is also supported by XPILOT 2.5, an advanced driver assistance system.
It is also available with two NEDC range options. The NEDC range for the base P7 RWD Long Range model is 706 kilometres, while the WLTP range is 530 kilometres. The battery will be able to provide an energy density of 170 Wh/kg. The car can travel up to 120 kilometres in 10 minutes. It will also have a 0-100 kph time of 4.5 seconds.
XPilot 3.0
XPilot 3.0 for Xpeng P7 is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) offered by Xpeng Motors. This system is used for navigation-guided driving and assists the driver in many situations. XPilot 3.0 is available on Premium trim of the P7 sedan. The system will be offered for free on most models.
