The P7i is essentially a refresh of the P7 sedan with updated styling, improved power and range as well as an upgraded sensor suite. Launched in China last year, the P7i is offered in ‘550’, ‘610’ and ‘702’ variants with pricing starting from 223,900 yuan and peaking at 339,900 yuan. The P7i pictured here is a more recent variant announced this month called the 702 Max Wing Edition, which differs from the rest by having powered front scissor doors. Like the G9, the variant name corresponds to the CLTC range offered.
Unlike the G9, the P7i is built on a 400V
architecture that can charge the battery from a 10-80% SoC in 29 minutes. For
the ‘702’ variants, the battery is a ternary lithium pack with an energy
capacity of 86.2 kWh that provides up to 702 km of range. These come with a
rear-mounted electric motor rated at 276 PS and 440 Nm for a
0-100 km/h time of 6.4 seconds and top speed of 200 km/h.
The ‘610’ variants use the same battery as
the ‘702’ variants, but with a dual-motor setup rated at 473 PS and 757 Nm for a faster 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds at the expend of
range that tops out at 610 km. Lastly, there’s the ‘550’ variants which use a
lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a capacity of 64.4 kWh for up to 550
km of range, but with the same motor setup as the ‘702’ variants.
The Nvidia Drive Orin platform powers the
P7i’s driver assistance functions (bundled under the Xpilot banner), with
higher-end variants getting two units instead of just one. Following the G9, a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chipset handles infotainment, with the cabin sporting
a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, but just one 14.96-inch touchscreen.
