The Xpeng P7+ electric liftback piles up at the manufacturer before the sales start, which is scheduled for October. This BEV aims to add momentum to the brand’s sales performance after the successful launch of the Mona M03 sedan.
Xpeng is one of the oldest Chinese NEV startups founded in 2014. However, its sales volume in China hasn’t been satisfying lately. According to CarNewsChina research, Xpeng has completed only 34.3% of its annual sales target, which is 12.7% lower than the average goal achievement rate. Now, Xpeng wants to improve the situation with new models: the recently launched Mona M03 (see specs) and the upcoming P7+.
Xpeng P7+ piles up at dealers
Recently, spy photos leaked online, showing a bunch of P7+ liftbacks at the parking near the Xpeng factory. The spotted cars have two exterior color variants: silver and light green. Previously, Chinese MIIT revealed the P7+ with a purple body color as it applied for the sales license.
Xpeng has started accumulating P7+ sedans in stock before the sales launch, which is scheduled for this month. It is a reasonable move, keeping in mind that Xpeng was unable to keep up with the recently launched Mona M03’s orders. Back to the P7+, every spotted car has a blackened roof and large rims. There is no information about the Xpeng P7+’s trim levels. But we assume the bunch of spotted cars consists of top-trim models. In this case, they can be used for demonstrations at the brand’s showrooms.
More about Xpeng P7+
The Xpeng P7+ is a sizeable liftback with a sleek body shape. It boasts hefty dimensions of 5056/1937/1512 mm and a wheelbase of 3000 mm. For clarity, it is 168 mm longer than the P7i sedan (see specs). A low beltline and a slanted roof definitely improved the drag coefficient of this liftback. As a result, its energy consumption is 11 kWh/100km. For clarity, the Tesla Model 3’s energy consumption is 14.4 kWh/100km.
The Xpeng P7+ was listed by Chinese MIIT with a single e-motor only. The entry-level car has a peak power of 180 kW (241 hp). A more powerful variant offers an electric motor for 230 kW (308 hp). There are two LFP battery options for the P7+: a 60.7 kWh for 575 km range (CLTC) and 76.3 kWh for 685 km (CLTC).
