2025 XPeng P7 Latest Release: New Rival to Xiaomi SU7 / BYD Han L EV
Recently, XPeng Motors unveiled the first official images of its all-new P7 electric sedan (internal codename E29). Marking a bold departure from the current P7i’s flowing lines, the 2025 P7 adopts sharper edges and a refreshed design language that emphasizes sportiness and technological flair. Slated to hit the market in the second half of this year, it promises to shake up the premium mid-sized EV segment in China.
Catalog
🚗 Exterior Design
Striking Front Fascia
Sharp, angular lines: Unlike the sleek curves of the outgoing P7i, the new P7’s bodywork features pronounced creases that convey a more aggressive stance.
Through-style light bar: A full-width LED strip spans the front, framing vertical daytime running lights (DRLs). The main headlamps sit where the horizontal and vertical bars intersect, giving the car a distinctive “face.”
Programmable light signature: An illuminated XPENG logo and customizable light animations add both brand identity and showmanship.
Sporty lower bumper: A pronounced front splitter enhances the car’s athletic appearance, while the matte-black extensions of the vertical light bars accentuate width.
Sleek Side Profile
Fastback silhouette: The sloping roofline yields a dynamic look, with the visual center of gravity shifted toward the front seats.
Integrated side cameras: Black trim on the front fenders houses side-view cameras, part of XPeng’s vision-only NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) system.
Suspended roof effect: Glossy black paint on the A- and B-pillars creates the illusion of a floating roof.
Clean door handles & mirrors: Flush door handles and sleek, floating-style exterior mirrors further streamline the profile.
Harmonized Rear End
Matching light design: The rear mimics the front with a full-width LED strip and vertical position lights.
Robust bumper & spoiler: A muscular rear bumper is complemented by an electric deployable spoiler for added downforce.
XPENG branding: Beneath the light bar sits a bold “XPENG” badge, flanked by “小鹏” (left) and “P7” (right) nameplates.
🛞 Wheels, Brakes & Details
21-inch rims: New multi-spoke wheel design accentuates the sporty theme.
“Mixed” tires: Michelin Pilot Sport series tires—245/40 R21 at the front and 275/35 R21 at the rear—deliver grip and balance.
Performance brakes: Drilled rotors and vivid orange Brembo calipers ensure strong stopping power and visual impact.
🤖 Cutting-Edge Tech: Turing AI Chip & NGP
At the recent XPeng X9 2025 launch, the company confirmed that its proprietary Turing AI chip will enter mass production and vehicle integration in Q2. The refreshed P7 is expected to debut with this chip, doubling compute power and enabling a pure-vision-based NGP system for city and highway driving:
Lane-change success up by 53%
Rerouting success up by 155%
Enhanced performance in extreme weather through algorithmic “inference” of obscured road conditions
⚡ Powertrain & Performance
Single-motor variant: 203 kW output, 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
Dual-motor variant: 348 kW combined, 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds.
800 V architecture: Ultra-fast charging—300 km added in just 10 minutes.
Range: Up to 702 km under the CLTC cycle; Ultra version with a 100 kWh “Qilin” battery targets 820 km.
Chassis: Double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspension, with standard CDC electromagnetic dampers for adaptive ride comfort.
🎯 Market Positioning & Competitors
Based on the vehicle details currently revealed, the all-new XPeng P7 appears to be a sporty-style pure electric sedan, positioned similarly to the existing XPeng P7i. However, it differs from the XPeng P7+ in terms of design and performance, potentially following the successful path of the P7+ (with monthly sales exceeding 30,000 units). Taking the current P7i as a reference, the new P7 is expected to be priced between 250,000 and 300,000 RMB, with the top-spec version possibly reaching 350,000 RMB. Its key domestic rivals include:
Xiaomi SU7 (¥215,900): Strong value but lags in advanced driver-assist solutions.
BYD Han L EV (¥219,800): Business-oriented design and established market presence.
Zeekr 007 (¥229,900): Spacious interior but slightly less focused on handling.
IM L6 (¥219,900): Well-equipped, though less performance-tuned.
🗓 Looking Ahead
The launch of the 2025 XPeng P7 signals XPeng’s evolution from “smart accessibility” toward “performance benchmark.” With its bold new design, class-leading AI compute, and ultra-fast charging, the P7 is poised to challenge Xiaomi, BYD, and others head-on. May’s official release will reveal whether design aesthetics and algorithmic prowess can dethrone the competition.
