The world’s first AI-defined vehicle. Those were the words chosen by Xiaopeng He, XPeng CEO, when unveiling the brand’s new flagship sedan P7+ last week in China.
On Monday, amid the official European debut at the model Paris Auto Show, the chief executive announced the sedan will have a pre-sale price of 209,800 yuan, equivalent to $29,600.
Additionally, He Xiaopeng revealed the model will also be available in more markets starting from next year while deliveries in China are expected to start later this year.
The new flagship sedan integrates advanced AI technology across the chassis, powertrain, driving system, and smart cockpit.
Ditching LiDAR technology (which is used by other models), the P7+ uses its “AI Hawkeye Visual Solution”.
The Guangzhou-based company entered the European market via Norway in 2021 and expanded to another 10 countries in the continent since then with Portugal and Spain being the latest additions.
Globally, the brand is available across 30 countries and regions with plans to double the number of markets to 60 until the end of 2025.
The P7+ features a three-meter wheelbase and is over 5 meters long and will be the brand’s first model based on its next-generation ADAS hardware platform.
Additionally, it will also unveil the next generation of its operating system, Tianji XOS 5.4, for the European market, along with its new smart cockpit.
