Chinese EV maker XPENG has officially launched the P7+ in China, introducing the world’s first AI-defined vehicle.
According to XPENG, the P7+ delivers premium quality with advanced AI-driven technology, elevating intelligent driving and smart cockpit experiences through XPENG’s cutting-edge AI architecture.
At the launch event, XPENG Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said: “In traditional cars, being premium has often been defined by design and features, but in the era of AI-defined vehicles, true premium quality is inseparable from intelligent technology.” He added that XPENG’s goal is to elevate the driving experience by making advanced AI-defined mobility technology standard in every vehicle. This commitment reflects XPENG’s dedication to understanding and meeting the needs of today’s drivers.
Available in three variants, the P7+ has a Long Range Max priced at ¥186,800 (approx. $26,100), an Ultra-Long Range Max at ¥198,800 ($27,800), and a Limited Edition Max at ¥218,800 ($30,600).
The entry-level variant features a 60.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack with cells from Eve Energy, offering a (CLTC) range of 602 km (374 miles). However, XPENG said that the initial range could be boosted to 615 km (382 miles) after an OTA system update, which will be available next month.
The other two variants use the same chemistry but with a larger 76.3 kWh pack that offers CLTC ranges of 710 km (441 miles) and 685 km (426 miles), respectively. Following a software update next month, those variants should also see a slight range increase.
The P7+ embodies XPENG’s vision for AI-defined mobility, merging “executive sedan” comfort with advanced AI capabilities to meet the evolving expectations of modern drivers. Following its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the P7+ became the first vehicle to incorporate large AI models into both smart driving and cockpit functions, underscoring XPENG’s vision for AI-defined mobility. These innovations aim to revolutionize the driving experience, offering users a seamless and personalized journey.
The P7+ is the world’s first vehicle to feature built-in AI-powered advanced ADAS across the entire lineup, equipped with XPENG’s in-house XOS 5.4 and the AI Hawkeye Visual Solution. The AI Hawkeye Visual Solution incorporates two 8M cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and ultrasonic radars, delivering clear, precise, and extended-range vision, enabling the P7+ to perform effectively in various lighting and weather conditions, from low light to high contrast environments. The XOS 5.4 platform enhances human-like interaction fourfold, with a 53% increase in lane-change success and a 155% improvement in detour handling.
Additionally, with model updates and monthly OTA improvements, the P7+ provides a constantly evolving driving experience without the need for additional subscription fees.
The P7+ cockpit integrates XPENG’s proprietary X-GPT model, with the Qualcomm 8295P cockpit chip for 50% enhanced performance. This system enables intelligent, natural voice interactions with in-depth comprehension, while a series of functions can be activated by one simple voice command. The interior features a 15.6-inch central control screen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument display, and an 8-inch rear entertainment screen with three-screen connectivity.
The P7+ leads in energy efficiency, achieving 10 km per kWh. This breakthrough is enabled by four core innovations: optimized vehicle design and manufacturing, efficient power management, XPENG’s X-HP 3.0 smart thermal management, and precise driving control. The P7+ has an industry-leading range efficiency of 116.89% in real-world testing. XPENG aims to further enhance range and energy efficiency through OTA updates, optimizing the electric driving experience for users.
The P7+ development team refined every detail to deliver a high-end driving experience. With a double-wishbone front suspension and five-link rear suspension, combined with in-house dynamics simulations, the P7+ reduces impact on speed bumps by 50%, vibration on rough roads by 24%, body sway by one-third, and pitch by half. Accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, and with a braking distance of only 35 meters, the P7+ excels in both performance and comfort.
Safety is the cornerstone of XPENG’s product development philosophy. The P7+ features aluminum front- and rear-integrated die-casting body structure, crafted by the world’s largest 16,000-ton die-casting machine. Its 2000 MPa ultra-high-strength cage frame has a battery that withstands impacts up to 700J, far exceeding industry averages. With seven airbags and 14 active safety features standard, the P7+ delivers comprehensive safety protection for all occupants.
As an SUV-coupe hybrid, the P7+ boasts an exceptional blend of aesthetics and practicality, providing space that exceeds that of premium executive sedans. With a 5,056 mm body length and a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the P7+ utilizes the world’s thinnest battery pack (just 109 mm) , allowing rear passengers ample headroom at 973 mm and enough room for both rows to stretch out.
Inside, the P7+ offers a premium experience with an industry-leading 2.1㎡ panoramic sunroof, Nappa leather “cloud comfort” seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions as standard across all variants within the product series, and a 10-degree rear-seat recline.
