XPeng is launching its vehicles in Europe, starting with the XPeng P7 sedan and G9 SUV. The company has chosen a toolbox architecture called the “Smart Electric Platform Architecture,” SEPA2.0, which allows for a greater range of variants than a classic platform with a fixed chassis. The P7 has a 400V powertrain architecture, while the G9 is already on 800V. The company offers three versions: long range, performance, and a WOW version with wing doors.

The ADAS suite includes adaptive cruise control, automatic speed limiter, adaptive turn control, forward distance monitor, forward collision warning, auto emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, speed assistant system, intelligent high beam, blind spot detection, active lane change, lane coordination control, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, enhanced lane keep, rear collision warning, rear cross traffic assist, door open warning, autonomous parking, driver state monitoring, and parking assist with 360° camera. The XPeng P7 is a great car for those driving a lot of kilometers professionally, often outside rush hour, with a mix of luxury, range, and price.
