XPeng‘s founder and CEO He Xiaopeng announced on Wednesday that the upcoming refreshed P7 has achieved record pre-order numbers, the highest of any model since the company was founded 11 years ago.
At the company’s second quarter earnings conference call, the chief executive revealed the sedan will be released “next week.”
“Since its debut, the all-new XPeng P7 has been widely recognized and praised —everyone agrees it’s stylish and sleek,” the chief executive wrote on Weibo, adding that “so far, pre-sale orders have already set a new record high for our models.”
“During the pre-sale, we noticed that the “active lift electric rear wing” has been extremely popular,” with “75% of users” choosing the feature.
The refreshed version of the P7 — a sedan that was first launched in 2020, two years after the brand’s inception — was unveiled earlier this month. It secured over 10,000 pre-orders in under seven minutes.
XPeng has not revealed the current number of pre-orders secured since the pre-launch event took place two weeks ago.
By breaking the brand’s pre-order record, the new P7 has outperformed the P7+, which was launched the P7+ model in late 2024.
The model had registered 30,000 pre-orders in just 1 hour and 48 minutes.
Despite the similarities, the P7+ did not replace the P7 in the portfolio — which had its latest version released in early 2023, the P7i.
Monthly deliveries of the P7 sedan have been consecutively below 1,000 monthly units since April 2024, as the company works on updating its lineup.
Figures of the P7+ have been around 7,000 and 9,000 monthly units since early 2025.
The brand’s best-selling model, the Mona M03, has been registering over 10,000 monthly units delivered for eleven consecutive months.
When it launched a year ago, the model had broke XPeng‘s record for the most pre-orders — 30,000 in the first 48 hours — which was then surpassed by the P7+ later in the year.
The new EV had garnered over 10,000 orders in its first two minutes on sale, a record that has yet to be beaten by any other XPeng model.
The industry-wide record for most pre-orders was reached in late June with Xiaomi’s YU7, which received 200,000 pre-orders in the first 3 minutes.
The Guangzhou-based company launched a new trim for its best-selling model in late May — the Mona M03 Max, which features city-level advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) powered by the brand’s in-house developed AI Turing chip.
XPeng started deliveries of its most recently launched model, the G7 SUV, on July 7.
In mid-March, the company had also refreshed its G6 and G9 SUVs in China, which are now arriving in Europe.
