CHINESE automaker Xpeng has launched its P7i, which will directly compete with Tesla’s Model 3, one of the Asian country’s hottest-selling electric cars.
The new sedan is significantly upgraded in key areas that will define the future of road travel, like driver assistance smart cockpit functionality and electric performance.

A P7i electric car’s primary selling point is its driver-assistance package which runs self-driving capabilities in cities, highways, and parking situations, IOT World Today reports.
This vehicle’s driver-assistance package also automatically reacts to traffic lights, makes left or right turns, navigates intersections, roundabouts and tunnels, and avoids pedestrians and cyclists.
Xpeng claims that its P7i’s driver-assistance system with 31 Lidar sensors is the most advanced product of its kind in the world, IOT World Today reports.
Lidar sensors can operate in any weather condition, unlike Tesla’s self-driving cameras, which often fail when exposed to elements like snow.
P7i drivers get a sense of what their Lidar sensors are reading with a surrounding reality simulation dashboard display.
Complementing this new electric sedan’s updated driver-assistance system is a 20-speaker 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos audio configuration that creates a more immersive cabin experience.
On the performance front, the P7i impresses with its battery, delivering just under 150 miles of range in ten charging minutes and up to 436 miles after a complete charge, CarScoops reports.
By comparison, Tesla’s Long Range Model 3 sedan offers a 358-mile maximum range.
When you’re looking to speed up, the all-wheel-drive P7i has a Race Mode that zips you from zero to 62mph in 3.9 seconds with 558.3 lb-ft of torque and a low 0.236 drag coefficient.
The P7i will be exclusive to China’s car market.
Xpeng is so focused on bringing the future of travel to today that they have also begun testing a flying car.
New footage showed the first-ever two-seat flying vehicle traveling through Guangzhou, China’s bustling central business district.
