Xpeng unveils first look of its P7 electric sedan
Xpeng releases the first look of its P7 electric sports sedan, visible with a sculpted rear and equipped with a driving mode steered by AI. Designed by Rafik Ferrag, the mastermind behind the first-generation P7 in 2018, the recent electric car goes minimal for its exterior. It has a visibly underlined rear and a smoother silhouette towards the front. The steel-like color is continuous through the design, giving it a bullet-shaded feel. Because of this palette, the outside creates a reflective surface, which allows the Xpeng P7 electric sedan to mimic its surroundings.
The vehicle can accommodate five people, including the driver. The company admits that the cabin space is smaller compared to their P7+ range, but it’s because the latter is more focused on a family setup. Rather than bringing back retro visual elements for the model, Xpeng decides to go for a neutral, classic design with P7 since it intends to ‘evoke associations with classic simplicity,’ the company describes. Launched in 2020, the Xpeng P7 electric sedan has received a five-star rating in both C-NCAP and Euro NCAP safety tests.

Sports Vehicle with a driving mode steered by AI
The vehicle is modern, so having AI as one of the key assistants to the driving mode is organic for the Xpeng P7 electric sedan. So far, there’s no news yet on the full specifications of the vehicle. What the company unveils at the present time is that there’s a smart driving mode that drivers can activate. The company also shares that the sedan comes with an immersive smart cockpit. This hints at an all-digital dashboard for the automobile, a feature that’s becoming, if it hasn’t yet, common in electric cars these days.
The Xpeng P7 electric sedan has a panoramic glass ceiling, too. It starts at the head of the driver and front passenger, then extends to the rear, even covering the trunk door. The vehicle adopts a vision-based solution, which relates to the cameras and sensors embedded in it. It uses the Turing chip, the AI autonomous driving chip that the company developed in-house, for its computational power on the road. As of publishing, Xpeng plans to release its P7 electric sedan in the third quarter of 2025. The company has yet to announce its availability around the global markets.
