After premiering an early prototype version of its
P7 electric sedan/saloon at the Shanghai Auto Show in spring, Xpeng Motors will
be revealing the production car at the upcoming trade fair in Chengdu, China.
The car is slated to hit the market in 2Q 2020.
Measuring 4.9 meters long with 3 m of wheelbase, two engines take the AWD sports car from zero to 100 km/h in
four seconds flat. The specific performance figures are still pending. The
range is estimated at 600 kilometers.
On-board tech notably includes a third-tier
self-driving system, voice control and even a driver’s mood recognition system
that works with facial expressions.
Xpeng has previously released an electric SUV called
the G3. The model has 197 hp along with 300 Nm of torque
and can go as far as 520 km before recharging becomes necessary.
Its initial production rates amounted to over 2,000 cars per month, but fell to
1,500 when the subsidies were cut.
