Xpeng unveils at the Brussels Motor Show the 2026 model year of the P7+ sedan, the first car defined by Artificial Intelligence. Based on an 800V platform, it offers 5C fast charging, already introduced recently by the G9 suv. It is available in both 100% electric and range-extender or Erev variants for ranges of up to 530 km (electric) and 1,550 km (range extender), including around 430 km in battery-only mode.

It is the second Xpeng model in Erev format

The new range-extended P7+ Erev is the second model from the Chinese brand to adopt a solution that is, in fact, a real alternative to the electric variant. The other preceding it is the 5-metre-plus X9 MPV that has been on sale in the Chinese market for some time, but will also be coming to Europe. The new P7+ in electric and Erev variant is considered a global model as it will be sold in 36 countries worldwide, including Europe.

The P7+ Erev is 15 mm longer than the electric

In terms of dimensions, the new P7+ has a length of 5071 mm, a width of 1937 mm and a height of 1512 mm. The wheelbase is 3,000 mm and load capacity is between 573 and 1,931 litres. To which is added an unladen weight of 2,160 kg. In addition, the body length of the range extender variant increases by around 15 mm compared to the electric version, although visually the two versions do not change much.

How is the powertrain of the new P7+ Erev?

The powertrain of the Erev model includes a 1.5 cc turbocharged petrol engine with a range extender function capable of delivering a maximum power output of 148 hp, complemented by a 241 hp electric motor, combined with a lithium-iron-phosphate battery. The whole thing is credited with a top speed of up to 200 km/h. And we come to the styling innovations of the second generation of the saloon that concern, in particular, certain details that add more quality to the interior.

The interior space is at the top of the category

The front grille is larger and the light cluster at the rear is full-width with the bumper in body colour. This lowers the car and makes it appear wider and more imposing. The interior space is class-leading, but improved in refinement and comfort, with 104 updates including 36 per cent of the main components. Other updates include new air vents, a large panoramic roof and even a wireless charging pad.

Equipped with an advanced assisted driving system

The new Xpeng P7+ is equipped with an advanced assisted driving system, based on 11 ultrasonic radars, 3 millimetre-wave radars, 12 cameras and no Lidar. The system's crore is a combination of artificial intelligence and next-generation propulsion chips called Touring. Three variants are available for the electric version, Standard and Longe Range with rear-wheel drive for a range of 455 km, and Performance with all-wheel drive with a range of up to 530 km.

The 29-inch augmented reality head-up display

The car features ambient lighting with 256 colours and wood trim combined with chrome details. The 15.6-inch central screen has been upgraded with the Apple CarPlay system. A 29-inch augmented reality head-up display complements the 8.8-inch instrument cluster. In addition to 20 speakers, there is a noise cancellation system. Xpeng calls the new P7+ a refreshed version rather than a mid-career update.
