Having built cars since 2018, Xpeng has released its first second-generation model, the new P7. Set to replace its flagship P7i, this electric sedan looks even more futuristic than its predecessor, with shades of the Polestar 5 in its design.
That much is evident in the fastback-like roofline that stretches all the way to the back, the rakish kinked C-pillars, the T-shaped front light signature (here stretching across the entire width of the car) and even the shrink-wrapped door mirrors that likely adjust in the same way by moving the entire housing. Even the four-Y-spoke wheels appear to be a nod to its Swedish-Chinese rival.
Still, there are plenty of design cues that are unique to the Xpeng. For one, the P7 looks to actually have a rear windscreen, rather than simply relying on a digital rear-view mirror in the case of the Polestar 5. Despite this, you still get an expansive panoramic glass roof.
Elsewhere, the headlights are set inside gloss black housings that stretch all the way to the base of the A-pillars – something that is mirrored in the taillight graphic. There’s also a wraparound front windscreen design and substantial rear haunches that give the car some added visual muscle.
Xpeng has not released any photos of the interior, nor any technical specifications. However, we can expect significant improvements in terms of performance and range, enabling the car to better compete against newer models such as the Xiaomi SU7. With the brand now being offered in Malaysia, might we expect to see this car here sooner rather than later?
