Xpeng has unveiled its next-generation P7+ electric sedan, which recently set an endurance record for mass-produced EVs after covering 3,961 kilometres in 24 hours.
The Tesla Model 3 competitor delivers 585 horsepower and 513 pound-feet of torque. Top speed reaches 143 mph.
Xpeng didn’t release full technical specifications for the P7+. The current P7 offers either a 74.9kWh or 92.2kWh battery pack for reference.
The higher-spec P7 models use 800V architecture. This allows charging from 10% to 80% in 12 minutes and delivers up to 358 miles of range.
AI-Defined Vehicle Platform
The P7+’s Munich debut showcases Xpeng’s focus on AI-driven technology and autonomous driving systems. The company calls it the world’s first AI-defined car.
Xpeng uses a software-defined vehicle approach to automotive engineering. Its self-developed AI system forms the foundation for the company’s mobility ecosystem – similar to Apple or Google’s interconnected platforms.
The AI architecture combines cloud computing, vehicle systems, processing power, and hardware components. Central computing and zonal control architecture support the entire system.
He Xiaopeng, the company’s CEO and chairman, believes the AI approach creates stronger connections between vehicles and drivers.
“With the next P7, we are demonstrating to users around the world how AI can transform the car into a warm, intelligent companion. It demonstrates our full-stack, self-developed AI capabilities. Xpeng doesn’t just build cars, we are creating smart and sustainable mobility experiences for global users.”
European Expansion Plans
The Munich presentation comes before Xpeng opens an R&D center in the Bavarian city later this month. The facility will help adapt vehicles for local preferences and strengthen the company’s European market position.
Xpeng hasn’t announced a firm European launch date for the P7+.
The company used the Munich event to confirm its Aeroht “Land Aircraft Carrier” – described as the world’s first modular flying car – will make its first flight in Dubai this October.
Xpeng’s AI-driven ‘Iron’ robot is expected to launch by the end of 2025.
