Xpeng P7 Breaks Records with 10,000 Orders in Under 7 Minutes
In a stunning display of consumer enthusiasm, Chinese EV manufacturer Xpeng Motors announced it received over 10,000 pre-orders for the new Xpeng P7 in just 6 minutes and 37 seconds. The overwhelming demand came despite the company not disclosing the official price at launch — a strong signal of growing trust in the brand and surging interest in technologically advanced electric vehicles.
Sleek Design and Aerodynamic Innovation
The new Xpeng P7 is not just another electric car — it’s a flagship model showcasing the future of EV luxury and innovation in China. Measuring 5017 mm long, 1970 mm wide, and 1427 mm high, with a generous 3008 mm wheelbase, this all-electric liftback offers a refined, sporty silhouette.
Xpeng’s design team focused heavily on aerodynamics. The P7 features a drag coefficient of just 0.201, making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient EVs in its class. Hidden active air flaps at the front and a 10-stage active rear spoilerhelp enhance airflow and stability while reducing energy consumption.
A spacious 1929-liter rear trunk and a 56-liter front storage compartment add to the practicality of this stylish EV.
Segment-Leading Interior Tech
Inside, the P7 impresses with its focus on futuristic digital interfaces and a minimalist aesthetic. The centerpiece is a massive 87-inch head-up display (HUD) — the largest in the segment — projecting crucial driving information in the driver's line of sight.
Other key interior features include:
An 8.8-inch minimalist digital instrument cluster
A 15.6-inch central touchscreen that can rotate 15 degrees side-to-side and 10 degrees up and down
Capacitive touch panels on the doors, customizable for added control over vehicle functions
23 high-fidelity speakers and 8 built-in microphones, enabling voice control from all areas of the cabin
The cockpit offers luxury-level comfort, with Nappa leather-wrapped seats featuring 16-way electric adjustments, ventilation, massage functions, and adaptive bolsters on the driver’s seat that dynamically respond to driving conditions in real time.
Powered by AI: Turing Chips and Snapdragon 8295P
The P7’s brainpower is as impressive as its brawn. It uses three Xpeng Turing AI chips to handle driver assistance, voice interaction, and cabin personalization. Meanwhile, a Snapdragon 8295P chipset powers the infotainment system — ensuring buttery-smooth UI performance, faster responsiveness, and intelligent media interactions.
This AI-backed system adapts to driver habits, controls cabin temperature and music, and responds to voice commands with high accuracy, even in noisy conditions.
800V Fast Charging and Powerful Electric Powertrains
One of the P7's standout capabilities is its 800-volt architecture, enabling ultra-fast charging. In just 10 minutes, the battery can gain enough power for up to 512 kilometers of range — an impressive figure that makes it suitable for fast-paced lifestyles and long-distance travel.
Three powertrain options will be available at launch:
Single-motor RWD: 367 horsepower
Dual-motor AWD: 595 horsepower combined output
Two battery sizes are offered:
74.9 kWh
92.2 kWh
Depending on the configuration, the P7 boasts a driving range of 702 km, 750 km, or 820 km on a full charge. These figures make it one of the longest-range electric sedans in the Chinese market today.
Launch Strategy Mirrors G7 Crossover Hype
This isn’t Xpeng’s first time experiencing explosive pre-order performance. Just a month earlier, the brand opened orders for its G7 electric crossover, reaching the 10,000-order mark in 9 minutes. However, the P7's launch shattered even that pace, underlining its appeal as a next-gen smart sedan.
Full-scale deliveries for the Xpeng P7 are expected to commence later in August, with more details on pricing and trim breakdowns to follow.
Will the Xpeng P7 Come to the UAE?
While currently only available in China, Xpeng’s rapid rise and competitive offerings are catching global attention. The brand already has global expansion ambitions, having showcased its cars in European markets. With the UAE market increasingly favoring smart EVs with long ranges and fast-charging capabilities, the Xpeng P7 could be a future contender in Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s premium electric sedan segment.
