The new XPeng P7 offers a CLTC range of 702 km. The rear-wheel-drive long-range version can be charged overnight at a 7kW home charging station, and at off-peak electricity rates of 0.33 yuan per kilowatt-hour, a 400-kilometer trip costs only around 20 yuan, saving the cost of a barbecue compared to a similarly aged
Used Car. At 4.88 meters long with a nearly 3-meter wheelbase, its four-door coupe design boasts a drag coefficient of only 0.236. The rear headroom is recessed, ensuring comfort even for 1.8-meter tall passengers. While the trunk opening is small, its depth is sufficient to comfortably accommodate a folded stroller and two suitcases laid flat. Being one meter shorter than
Commercial Vehicles, it easily parks in urban mechanical parking spaces.
The interior features a button-free design, with a single 14.96-inch horizontal screen in the center console, powered by an 8155 chip. Voice control can interrupt and activate the screen; simply saying "I'm cold" will close the windows and raise the temperature, eliminating the need to fumble for knobs while driving, unlike older cars. The standard XPILOT 3.0 system can automatically follow the car in front and maintain position on curves on highways. Upgrading to the optional 3.5 system allows for automatic start-stop at city traffic lights, making following other vehicles during rush hour easier than manually using the clutch in a used car, and more composed than driving a large
commercial vehicle through alleyways.
The rear-wheel-drive single motor delivers 196 kW. In Sport mode, with the accelerator at half-throttle, the speed linearly climbs to 100 km/h, with the energy consumption displayed at around 13 kWh. Even with the heat pump air conditioning on in winter, the range remains at 75%, unlike early
new energy vehicles where mileage drops significantly with cooling. The front double wishbone and rear five-link suspension, tuned by a British team, have spring stiffness slightly higher than family sedans, resulting in a smooth stop over speed bumps with two distinct "thumps," without the aftershocks often seen in
Used Cars. High-speed lane changes are quick, and the ESP intervention is smooth, preventing rear passengers from swaying.
The vehicle comes with a four-year/100,000 km warranty, a lifetime warranty on the three core electric components, and OTA updates that automatically push updates overnight. It also features parking memory in the morning, subtly improving its capabilities like a phone's system update. In the used car market, a car that is one year old will depreciate by less than 20%, which is better than traditional used cars. It doesn't go to the freight yard to haul goods, nor does it compete with gimmicks like 0-100 km/h acceleration. It is a pure electric sports car that can run, saves money, provide seating, and carry a lot of cargo. For commuting, picking up the kids, and short trips of 300 kilometers on weekends, one kilowatt-hour of electricity can quietly expand the radius of life.
