Specifications

It has a longer wheelbase and features XPeng's first implementation of a 'vision only' autonomous driving system. Named 'AI Hawk', it uses two Nvidia Orin X chips providing 508 TOPS of compute, along with a series of eleven cameras, three mmwave radars, and twelve ultrasonic sensors, but lacks LiDAR in its sensor suite. It uses the industry's first implementation of single pixel LOFIC (lateral overflow integration capacitor) camera sensors, which are better able to deal with high contrast lighting scenarios such as backlighting or headlight glare during nighttime.[2]
While the wheelbase is about the same as the P7i, the overall length of the car is 168 mm (6.6 in) longer. This allows for increased interior space, a significant criticism of the P7i, with a front seating space of 956 mm (37.6 in), and 994 mm (39.1 in) in the rear. Both the front and rear seats have heated, ventilated, and massaging seats as standard. The driver's seat has up to 12-way power seat adjustments, and the rear seats have a power seat recline adjustment.
The P7+ has a near buttonless dashboard, with nearly all controls placed in the 15.6-inch center infotainment touchscreen; the 10.25-inch digital instrument panel is controlled by two sets of button and scroll controls mounted on the two-spoke steering wheel, which are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 SoC. Ahead of the center console armrest is a set of two cupholders and dual ventilated wireless charging pads.
On the rear of the center console is a pair of vents and a touchscreen for the rear passengers. The touchscreen houses controls for the seats' heating, ventilation, and massage functions, controls for the rear climate control zone, and media controls with the ability to play videos. The back of the front seats have a folding tray table similar to airline seats, and there are controls to move the front passenger seat forward to provide more legroom. The rear seatbacks can also be reclined by up to 10 degrees.
The roof is spanned by a tinted 2.1-square-metre (23 sq ft) panoramic sunroof that lacks a sunshade. The XPeng developed sound system consists of twenty Dynaudio-sourced speakers imported from Germany in a 7.1.4 panoramic configuration. It includes a speaker integrated into the driver's seat headrest which will provide audio from navigation prompts and phone calls without interrupting audio for the rest of the cabin.
The P7+ has a power rear liftgate which reveals a trunk with 725 liters (192 U.S. gal) of space, which expands to 2,221 liters (587 U.S. gal) with the rear seats folded down. It also has an underfloor compartment, but lacks a frunk despite having an opening hood.
The P7+ comes with a choice of two lithium iron phosphate batteries of either 60.7 kWh or 76.3 kWh capacities, sourced from Eve Power. Both batteries use an 800 V electrical platform using silicon carbide electronics, and support up to 3C charging from 5C chargers, resulting in a claimed 30-80% charge time of 16 minutes. The P7+ comes with a single 180 kW (241 hp; 245 PS) motor standard, with higher models receiving a single 230 kW (308 hp; 313 PS) unit, both produced by XPeng in Wuhan. It has a top speed of 200 kilometres per hour (124 mph).[3]
It has a drag coefficient of 0.206 and has active grille shutters. The chassis has a double wishbone suspension at the front and a multilink independent suspension at the rear.
At launch in China, customers could put down a refundable CN¥ 99 (approximately US$14) pre-order deposit which would provide a CN¥ 3,000 (approximately US$420) total purchase discount, leading to 30,000 pre-orders only 1 hour and 48 minutes after opening.
