2021 Xpeng P7 Photos, engines & full specs

XPeng launched its second model, the P7, in 2019, and it surprised everyone with its impressive range, even for the base model, and some additional quirky features.

Just four years have passed since the creation of this Chinese brand, and people were already talking a lot about it. Helped by tech giants such as Xiaomi and smart engineers with automotive backgrounds, XPeng managed to create unusual vehicles. So, after introducing the G3 EV crossover, which was already born with autonomous driving level 2, came the P7, which boasted luxurious features usually seen on much more expensive cars.

At the front, the vehicle sported a sharp look with an LED strip that crossed the car as a daytime running light. The actual headlights were mounted lower on the bumper, which also integrated the low-mounted grille. From its profile, the P7 showed its fluid, organic shape. There was not any straight line on any part of the vehicle. The cab-rearward design with a sloped-down rear windscreen suggested a hatchback. Yet, it was a three-box sedan. At the back, the taillights and the red LED strip that adorned the rear fascia mimicked the front of the vehicle.

Inside, the automaker tried its best to outrun its competition. At the front, a pair of high-bolstered seats provided comfort and were separated by a tall center console. On the dashboard, the automaker installed a 10.25” display in front of the driver for the instrument panel and a 15” touchscreen for the infotainment system placed atop the center stack. In addition, the Chinese automaker worked with Dynaudio to create a powerful sound experience.

XPeng offered the P7 with a choice of three drivetrains. The base version was RWD only and could travel up to 586 km (364 miles). By using the same motor but an 80.9 kWh battery pack, the Super-Long Range version provided a 706 km (439 miles) range. For those willing to trade range for power, the automaker offered a third version fitted with two motors and an all-wheel drive setup.
