XPENG Launches P7+, World’s First AI-Defined Vehicle

XPENG Motors (NYSE: XPEV, HKEX: 9868), a leading Chinese tech-focused automaker, has officially launched its P7+ model in China, introducing what it calls the world’s first “AI-defined” vehicle. The P7+ is designed to deliver an enhanced driving experience through advanced AI technology, bringing both smart driving and an intuitive cockpit experience to users. This launch emphasizes XPENG’s ambition to lead in AI-driven mobility.

Pioneering AI-Defined Driving

At the launch event, XPENG’s Chairman and CEO, He Xiaopeng, highlighted a shift in what defines premium vehicles, moving from traditional design and features to advanced intelligent technology. XPENG’s goal is to make AI-powered features a core part of every vehicle, enhancing the driving experience and meeting modern user expectations. Following its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the P7+ brings a high level of AI integration, creating a seamless and personalized driving journey.

Advanced AI Technology for Smarter Driving

The P7+ is the world’s first car with a standard, built-in AI-powered ADAS across all variants, utilizing XPENG’s XOS 5.4 and AI Hawkeye Visual Solution. The AI Hawkeye system combines two 8-megapixel cameras, millimeter-wave, and ultrasonic radars to provide clear, high-contrast visibility in different conditions. XOS 5.4 enhances user interaction, offering improvements like a 53% increase in lane-change accuracy and a 155% improvement in detour handling.

Furthermore, the P7+ evolves with each update, thanks to monthly over-the-air (OTA) updates, without any extra subscription costs.

Innovative Smart Cockpit with X-GPT Integration

Equipped with XPENG’s X-GPT model and the Qualcomm 8295P chip, the P7+ cockpit enables natural, intelligent voice interaction, making it more intuitive for users. The cabin features a 15.6-inch central display, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and an 8-inch rear entertainment screen, creating a connected three-screen experience.

Optimized Energy Efficiency and Performance

The P7+ sets new standards in energy efficiency, delivering 10 km per kWh through innovations in vehicle design, power management, and XPENG’s X-HP 3.0 smart thermal management system. With a tested range efficiency of 116.89%, XPENG aims to further optimize energy use with OTA updates to enhance the electric driving experience.

Engineering Excellence and Safety

XPENG’s engineering precision is evident in the P7+’s suspension and handling capabilities. Featuring double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspensions, the vehicle minimizes impact from speed bumps and rough roads. The P7+ accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds and brakes within 35 meters, delivering both speed and comfort. Safety remains a priority, with the P7+ using a high-strength, integrated aluminum body frame and a battery capable of withstanding impacts up to 700J. Standard features include seven airbags and 14 active safety functions.

Spacious and Luxurious Interior

The P7+ combines the aesthetics of an SUV with sedan-level comfort, offering a spacious 5,056 mm length and a 3,000 mm wheelbase. Its 725-liter trunk can hold up to 33 carry-on suitcases with rear seats folded. Inside, passengers enjoy a 2.1㎡ panoramic sunroof, Nappa leather seats with heat, ventilation, and massage functions, and rear seats with a 10-degree recline.

Deliveries of the P7+ are set to begin this month, marking a pivotal moment for XPENG’s expansion in intelligent mobility. The company aims to make safe, comfortable, AI-powered driving accessible worldwide, continuing its journey to define the future of sustainable and intelligent transportation.
