The '''XPeng P7+''' ({{lang-zh|c=小鹏P7+|p=Xiǎopéng P7+}}) is a [[battery electric vehicle|battery-powered]] [[Executive car|executive]] [[sedan (automobile)|sedan]] manufactured by Chinese [[electric car]] company [[XPeng]], which was revealed in China on October 10, 2024 and internationally at the [[Paris Motor Show]] four days later.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bobylev |first=Denis |date=2024-10-10 |title=Xpeng P7+ officially revealed in China with next-gen AD platform |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/10/10/xpeng-p7-officially-revealed-in-china-with-next-gen-ad-platform/ |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref> It features the first implementation of XPeng's [[Lidar|LiDAR]]-less 'vision only' [[autonomous driving]] system.
==Overview==
[[File:XPeng P7+ 002.jpg|left|thumb|225x225px|XPeng P7+ rear]]
The P7+ is designed to be a larger, cheaper version of the [[XPeng P7|P7i]], which it will be sold alongside rather than replace. It significantly increases the spaciousness of the second row, which was a significant criticism of the P7 series.
Weeks before its public reveal, P7+ units were spotted being stockpiled outside of the XPeng [[Guangzhou]] factory, and some were spotted while being shipped to showrooms as display models and test drive units.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bobylev |first=Denis |date=2024-10-03 |title=Xpeng P7+ piles up at the manufacturer before the sales start in October |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/10/03/xpeng-p7-piles-up-at-the-manufacturer-before-the-sales-start-in-october/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bobylev |first=Denis |date=2024-10-07 |title=Xpeng P7+ spotted at dealer before official launch scheduled for October 10 |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/10/07/xpeng-p7-spotted-at-dealer-before-official-launch-scheduled-for-october-10/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref> The P7+ made its Chinese debut on October 10, 2024 and its international debut at the Paris Motor Show on October 14, which is also when Chinese market pre-orders opened.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Bobylev |first=Denis |date=2024-10-14 |title=Xpeng P7+ started pre-sales for 29,600 USD and gathered 30,000 orders |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/10/14/xpeng-p7-started-pre-sales-for-29600-usd-and-gathered-30000-orders/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref> The starting price of the P7+ at the pre-sale was {{Currency|209800|rmb}} ({{Currency|29600|usd}}). By October 18, the first batch of production P7+ units had been produced and were in transit to showrooms.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrews |first=Mark |date=2024-10-18 |title=Production of Xpeng P7+ has begun and deliveries beginning to stores |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/10/18/production-of-xpeng-p7-has-begun-and-deliveries-beginning-to-stores/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Deliveries are expected to begin in November.
At launch, the P7+ will be available in two versions: Long Range Max, which starts at {{Currency|186800|rmb}} ({{Currency|26100|usd}}); and Ultra Long Range Max, which starts at {{Currency|198800|rmb}} ({{Currency|27750|usd}}). A special Limited Edition Max model, based on the Ultra Long Range trim with different 20-inch wheels, is priced at {{Currency|218800|rmb}} ({{Currency|30600|usd}}) and only 500 units will be made.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrews |first=Mark |date=2024-11-07 |title=Xpeng P7+ launches in China with 725 km range for 26,100 USD |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/11/07/xpeng-p7-launches-in-china-with-725-km-range-for-26100-usd/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Unlike previous XPeng models, there are no 'Pro' trims available with reduced autonomous driving capabilities.
== Design and technology ==
Despite the similar name to the P7i, the P7+ rides on the larger ''SEPA 2.0'' platform shared with the [[XPeng G6|G6]]. While the wheelbase is about the same as the P7i, the overall length of the car is {{Convert|168|mm|in|abbr=unit}} longer. The A pillar has been moved forward closer to the front wheels, and the C pillar moved rearward, increasing the length of the cabin. The rear hatch features a raised 'double-decker' fastback design, allowing for increased rear passenger headroom and taller cargo area. These changes allow for increased interior space, a significant criticism of the P7i.
The chassis uses a double wishbone suspension at the front and a multilink independent suspension at the rear. The P7+ has a drag coefficient of 0.206, helped by the use of active grille shutters.
=== Autonomous driving system ===
The P7+ features XPeng's first implementation of a 'vision only' autonomous driving system. Named ''AI Hawk'', it uses two Nvidia [[Nvidia Drive#Drive AGX Orin|Orin X]] chips providing 508 TOPS of compute, along with a series of eleven cameras, three [[mmWave]] radars, and twelve ultrasonic sensors, but notably lacks LiDAR in its sensor suite unlike the P7i. It uses the industry's first implementation of single-pixel LOFIC (lateral overflow integration capacitor) camera sensors, which are better able to deal with high contrast lighting scenarios such as backlighting or headlight glare during nighttime.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrews |first=Mark |date=2024-10-31 |title=Driving Review {{!}} Xpeng P7+ a car more for family than driving |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/10/31/driving-review-xpeng-p7-a-car-more-for-family-than-driving/ |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
=== Interior ===
The P7+ has a near buttonless dashboard, with nearly all controls placed in the 15.6-inch center infotainment touchscreen; the 10.25-inch digital instrument panel is controlled by two sets of button and scroll controls mounted on the two-spoke steering wheel, which are powered by a [[Qualcomm Snapdragon]] 8295 [[System on a chip|SoC]]. Ahead of the center console armrest is a set of two cupholders and dual ventilated wireless charging pads.
On the rear of the center console is a pair of vents and a touchscreen for the rear passengers. The touchscreen houses controls for the seats' heating, ventilation, and massage functions, controls for the rear climate control zone, and media controls with the ability to play videos. The front seatbacks contain a folding tray table similar to airline seats, and there are controls to move the front passenger seat forward to provide more legroom.
Both the front and rear seats have heated, ventilated, and massaging seats available. The driver's seat has up to 12-way power seat adjustments, and the rear seatbacks can be power reclined by up to 10 degrees. The P7+ has a front seating space of {{Convert|956|mm|in|abbr=unit}} and {{Convert|994|mm|in|abbr=unit}} in the rear, with {{Convert|157|mm|in|abbr=unit}} of knee room.
The roof is spanned by a tinted {{Convert|2.1|m2|sqft|adj=on}} panoramic sunroof that lacks a sunshade. The XPeng-developed sound system consists of twenty [[Dynaudio]]-sourced speakers imported from Germany in a [[7.1 surround sound|7.1.4]] panoramic configuration. It includes a speaker integrated into the driver's seat headrest which will provide audio from navigation prompts and phone calls without interrupting audio for the rest of the cabin.
The P7+ has a power rear liftgate which reveals a trunk with {{Convert|725|L|U.S.gal}} of space, which expands to {{Convert|2221|L|U.S.gal}} with the rear seats folded down. It also has an underfloor compartment, but lacks a [[frunk]] despite having an opening hood.
== Powertrain ==
The P7+ comes with a choice of two [[Lithium iron phosphate battery|lithium iron phosphate batteries]] of either 60.7{{Nbsp}}kWh or 76.3{{Nbsp}}kWh capacities, sourced from [[EVE Energy|Eve Power]]. The battery packs are {{Convert|109|mm|in|abbr=unit}} tall, which XPeng claims are the world's thinnest.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Chen |first=Dong Yi |date=2024-11-08 |title=Xpeng P7+ received 31,528 firm orders within first day of launch |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/11/08/xpeng-p7-received-31528-firm-orders-within-first-day-of-launch/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Both batteries use an 800{{Nbsp}}V electrical platform using silicon carbide electronics, and support up to 3C charging from 5C chargers, resulting in a claimed 30-80% charge time of 16 minutes. The P7+ comes with a single {{Convert|180.|kW|hp PS|abbr=unit}} motor standard, with higher models receiving a single {{Convert|230.|kW|hp PS|abbr=unit}} unit, both produced by XPeng in [[Wuhan]]. It has a top speed of {{Convert|200.|km/h|mph}}.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrews |first=Mark |date=2024-07-12 |title=Xpeng P7+ key details revealed by regulator – it does not have Lidar |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/07/12/xpeng-p7-key-details-revealed-by-regulator-it-does-not-have-lidar/ |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
An OTA update expected to release in December 2024 will increase the maximum range of the P7+ from {{Convert|602 to 615|km|mi|abbr=unit}} for the smaller battery, and from {{Convert|710. to 725|km|mi|abbr=unit}} for the larger pack.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chen |first=Dong Yi |date=2024-11-08 |title=Xpeng P7+ received 31,528 firm orders within first day of launch |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/11/08/xpeng-p7-received-31528-firm-orders-within-first-day-of-launch/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Sales ==
At launch in China, customers could put down a refundable {{Currency|99|RMB}} (approximately {{Currency|14|usd}}) pre-order deposit which would provide a {{Currency|3000|RMB}} (approximately {{Currency|420|usd}}) total purchase discount, leading to 30,000 pre-orders only 1 hour and 48 minutes after opening. XPeng later announced that there were 31,528 firm orders during the November 7 launch day, breaking the brand's record. XPeng chairman [[He Xiaopeng]] said on social media that over 10,000 firm orders for the P7+ were placed within 12 minutes after opening.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
