Get ready, automotive enthusiasts! The electric sedan scene is about to welcome a new contender that promises to stir up quite a buzz. XPeng, the Chinese giant, has revealed exciting details about the next generation of its acclaimed P7 sedan, and what’s known so far exceeds initial expectations.
Does the New P7’s Design Really Channel Lamborghini?
Yes, the first visual impressions point to sharper lines and a profile that, according to reports, evokes the boldness of Lamborghini models. It’s not just about style but a statement of intent from XPeng to position the P7 as a high-performance sedan with striking visual appeal.
Details like the side mirrors and small panels behind the front wheels made of forged carbon fiber reinforce this sporty and premium touch. The choice between 20- and 21-inch alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, only confirms that XPeng isn’t skimping on components to deliver a dynamic experience that matches the looks.
What Is the Real Power of the XPeng P7 2025? Is It a Beast?
The big surprise came with the performance data released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The standard version, with a rear-mounted electric motor, already delivers a respectable 363 horsepower, powered by an iron-phosphate lithium (LFP) battery from EVE Energy. That’s a strong starting point.
For those seeking greater range without sacrificing performance, there will be a long-range version with a single rear motor, maintaining the same 363 hp but equipped with a larger nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery supplied by CALB. This dual battery option showcases the brand’s flexibility, just as we see in other electric models offering significant upgrades in power and range.
But the real “beast” is the dual-motor model. Combining the 363 hp rear motor with a 223 hp front unit, the total power reaches an impressive 586 horsepower! This high-performance version comes standard with upgraded brakes, including eye-catching orange Brembo calipers. That power figure puts the P7 in a different league, competing with electric sedans from more established brands, like the brutal 2026 Dodge Charger Sedan. Electrification is spectacularly raising the bar for performance.
Why Is the New XPeng P7 Exclusive to China?
Unfortunately, for many enthusiasts outside China, the new generation P7 will initially be a model exclusive to the domestic market. This means important markets like the United States or Europe won’t have a chance to experience this evolution firsthand anytime soon.
Its world debut is scheduled for the Guangzhou Auto Show in the third quarter of this year. This geographical exclusivity, though disappointing for some, highlights the growing strength of the Chinese automotive market and the focus of local manufacturers on first meeting this massive and sophisticated domestic demand. It’s a strategic move reflecting the meteoric rise of brands like BYD on the global scene.
What Are the Dimensions and Weight of the New Sedan?
The new P7 has grown slightly compared to its predecessor. Its dimensions are 197.5 inches long, 77.6 inches wide, and 56.1 inches tall. The wheelbase is generous, at 118.4 inches, suggesting excellent interior space for occupants—something crucial for comfort on long trips.
The curb weight is 4,610 lbs. These measurements place it in a competitive segment, where comfort and space are as important as performance and technology. It’s interesting to see how electric sedans are setting new size and proportion standards, just like other recent electric sedan launches.
