China’s booming EV market isn’t short on drama, and with new models launching at breakneck speed, it’s hard to keep up. One of the latest arrivals poised to shake things up is the refreshed Xpeng P7, which looks ready to challenge the wildly popular Xiaomi SU7. Recently uncovered in official photos from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the P7 has now been showcased in new photos and also spotted on the road with two flamboyant wraps.

Xpeng is expected to officially launch the P7 in the third quarter of this year, giving it enough time to iron out any kinks the new car may have. The automaker has left no stone unturned in overhauling the design of the updated P7, so much so that it barely resembles the outgoing model. Whether or not that’s a good thing will be up to the market to decide.

Clearly, Xpeng wants to make a statement with the new car. One prototype recently spotted on the streets by Weibo users features a mirror chrome wrap that extends not only across the bodywork but also to the rear window and wheels. A second prototype snapped on the road has a matte purple wrap and also rocks aerodynamic wheel covers.

While we doubt Xpeng will actually sell the P7 with exterior finishes like this, we wouldn’t put it past the brand. The outgoing P7 ‘Wing Edition’ is offered in a bright shade of green, akin to what you’d expect to find from the color palette of an exotic brand like Lamborghini.

Bright colors aren’t the only exotic car influences of the new P7. It will come equipped with Lamborghini-inspired scissor doors, though it’s not clear yet if these will be offered on all trims or only the flagship model. Additionally, recent photos have shown that the wing mirrors and front air vents can be optioned with a forged carbon fiber design. Whether that’s real carbon or just an aesthetic wrap hasn’t been confirmed, but it does add some extra visual flair to the EV.

The updated P7 isn’t just about show. It brings performance upgrades too. Entry-level models will come with a 363 hp rear-mounted motor, while the dual-motor version adds another 223 hp up front. That gives the all-wheel-drive variant a healthy 586 hp, which should make for some genuinely quick launches.

Buyers won’t have to wait long to see it up close. The P7 is expected to make its official debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 20.

New details have emerged about the next-generation Xpeng P7 sedan, and contrary to earlier reports, it’s more powerful than its predecessor. With a fresh design that channels Lamborghini vibes, the 2025 P7 is not just a visual upgrade; it also promises improved performance. Unfortunately, it’s a China-exclusive, meaning the US won’t get to experience it firsthand.

The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has revealed that several powertrains will be offered for the new P7. Hidden beneath the sultry bodywork of the standard model will be a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 363 hp. It’ll receive its juice from an EVE Energy-sourced lithium iron phosphate battery, although its capacity remains unknown.

For those who want more range, there’s a single-motor, long-range version. It also packs 363 hp but is equipped with a larger NMC battery from CALB.

Chinese customers looking for the ultimate in performance can opt for the new dual-motor model. It retains the 363 hp rear motor, but adds a 223 hp unit to the front axle, resulting in a combined output of 586 hp. It also gets an NMC battery from CALB and comes standard with beefed-up brakes that include orange Brembo calipers.

New data also reveals Xpeng will sell the new model with 20- and 21-inch wheels with 245 mm front and 275 mm rear Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires. Three different wheel designs have also been previewed, all of which are quite striking. We can also see that the P7 will be available with several forged carbon fiber elements, including the wing mirrors and small panels behind the front wheels.

The new P7 measures 5017 mm (197.5 inches) in length, 1970 mm (77.5 inches) in width, and stands 1427 mm (56.2 inches) tall. The wheelbase stretches to 3008 mm (118.4 inches), which should translate to plenty of interior space. Its curb weight comes in at 2090 kg (4600 lbs).

Xpeng is expected to unveil the new P7 at the Guangzhou Auto Show in the third quarter of the year. Unfortunately, unless you’re in China, don’t expect to see it in your market anytime soon.

We thought we had seen it all when Xpeng dropped the first photos of the new-generation P7 sedan. But, as it turns out, there’s more hiding under the surface. New spy shots from China have revealed the sports sedan will get Lamborghini-inspired scissor doors, just like the limited edition of its predecessor. While some might argue that scissor doors belong strictly to the world of supercars, they certainly give the P7 a distinct edge, helping it stand out in the crowded electric sedan market.

In China, the P7s with these doors are called ‘peng-wing’ models, and they’ll probably be reserved for the top-tier version of the new car. The latest photos from China’s Autohome show that, much like the previous model, the doors open at an angle instead of shooting straight up. This design ensures there’s enough room between the door and the front quarter panel.

It’s not just the doors of the new model that have taken inspiration from one of Italy’s most famous brands. Recent shots of the P7’s front end show it will have sideways Y-shaped daytime running lights not dissimilar to those used by the Lamborghini Revuelto.

The prototype featured in these shots also rocks a set of bright orange Brembo brake calipers and sits on sticky Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, measuring 245/40 R21 at the front and 275/35 R21 at the rear. We don’t yet have dimensions for the new model, but it looks longer than a Tesla Model 3 and may also be slightly longer than the Xiaomi SU7.

This prototype, as well as the car recently showcased by Xpeng, also lacks any visible LiDAR system, which Xpeng currently uses for its driver assistance systems. This suggests the new P7 may follow in the footsteps of Tesla with a vision-based system that will be cheaper. Whether or not it will be as effective remains to be seen.

The rear end of the refreshed P7 looks a lot nicer than the old car. It retains a similar fastback-style shape but has fewer curves and soft edges, instead relying on more aggressive lines and sharp angles. Xpeng’s designers have also crafted new LED taillights and a light bar, similar in shape to the DRLs up front.

Xpeng has not announced powertrain details for the new model, but local media reports that it will be offered with the same options as the outgoing model. These could include a rear-wheel drive version with 272 hp and 436 miles (702 km) of range, as well as a dual-motor 466 hp model that is good for 379 miles (610 km). The new P7 could be unveiled in the third quarter of the year during the Guangzhou Auto Show.

The next iteration of the Xpeng P7, previously known under the internal code name E29. had landed. The first official images released by the Chinese automaker reveal a striking new sedan that looks far more distinctive than Xpeng’s current lineup, which is a refreshing change considering how many electric vehicles these days blend into the same uninspired mold.

Designed by Rafik Ferrag, who also crafted the original P7, the front end of this new model seems to borrow a bit of design inspiration from the Lamborghini Revuelto and the local Honda S7. The fascia is dominated by sideways Y-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs) and a thin light bar, with the main headlamps nestled just below it. We can also see that the Xpeng badge up front is illuminated.

The fastback-style shape of the P7 is hard to miss, and the retractable rear spoiler only adds to its dynamic appearance. At the back, thin LED strips complement the front lights, giving the car a unified, contemporary look. Xpeng described the new model as “a bold, emotional, and athletic 5-seater coupe that raises the bar in both aesthetics and performance.”

This model may also mark the debut of Xpeng’s new Kunpeng EV platform, which could have the versatility to support range-extender options, though the company has yet to confirm any technical details. For now, it’s expected that the P7 will launch exclusively as an EV, potentially offering power and range figures similar to, or slightly better than, the P7+. That could mean up to 466 hp (348 kW) with dual motors, and a CTLC range surpassing 435 miles (700 km).

While Xpeng hasn’t shared any official interior teasers yet, spy shots circulating in China suggest it will feature a large central infotainment screen, as well as light purple leather seats. The P7 may also introduce a simplified vision-based advanced driver assistance system, in contrast to other Xpeng models that include LiDAR technology.

Dimensions for the car have yet to be published, but it looks longer than a Tesla Model 3, even if the American EV will be one of its prime competitors alongside Xiaomi’s popular SU7. Autohome reports that it’s expected to be unveiled in the third quarter of the year during the Guangzhou Auto Show, but we should get to see it in better detail earlier than that, thanks to China’s trusty Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Pricing and Availability

At this stage, Xpeng is referring to it as the next P7, although Chinese media reports suggest the company has secured the “P7 Ultra” name. Regardless of the final name, the car is expected to go on sale toward the end of the year, with pricing anticipated to be similar to the current model, which starts at around 250,000 yuan (roughly $35,000). That’s slightly higher than the entry-level Tesla Model 3, which begins at 215,900 yuan.
