The revolution caused by electric vehicles is about to receive another chapter. After recent releases by renowned automakers, it is time for this brand from China to reveal its new top-of-the-line model<\/strong>. Combining advanced technology and a design that is close to perfection, this car is a possible international rival for the Tesla Model 3 and a national rival for BYD models. According to car enthusiasts, this model is envisioned for the global market and seems to be “brought from the future to the present”. Let’s find out!<\/p>\n

The first major facelift for a model from a new Chinese company<\/h2>\n

When we talk about electric cars, we almost immediately think about two of the most commented brands: Tesla and BYD. Besides international recognition, these brands are known for design innovation and impressive engines, but this reveal may put another brand in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Although it is well known in the Chinese electric vehicle market, Xpeng was not able to achieve the same recognition as its rivals. But this month, the company made an announcement that may change everything. For critics, Xpeng’s new model can be considered a “piece of art with a potent engine” and has the potential to be sold globally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Named as the new Xpeng P7, the vehicle is a sport version of the original P7, released in 2020 with a family-focused design. It was crafted by Rafik Ferrag and has a minimalist exterior, while the interior and engine remain a complete secret. Besides being unveiled, the promise is for an advanced system and a possible new version of the Xpeng electric engine. For He Xiaopeng, Xpeng chairman and CEO, the new P7 is far beyond a simple car.<\/p>\n

“This is not a concept car, all we did was bring it from the future to the present<\/a>“, states the CEO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Xpeng’s model’s performance may be impressive<\/h2>\n

As we said, the full details about the Xpeng P7 interior and engine have not been revealed yet, but enthusiasts are already speculating about it. According to some comments, it is expected that this new model features advanced driver assistance besides being the debut model for the new Kunpeng EV platform<\/strong>, which is expected to offer future versatility and a possible range extender.<\/p>\n

Talking about performance, the new model may be even more impressive: it should have potential for up to 466 horsepower from dual motors. Little was revealed about its interior, but some shots suggest the presence of a large central infotainment screen.<\/p>\n

One clear direction for Xpeng: The global market<\/h2>\n

While Tesla makes some decisions that may impact its potential consumers<\/a>, Xpeng is targeting the global market. The recently unveiled design is destined for global markets and will be part of the process started with the recent arrival of the Xpeng G6 SUV in the UK market. But the plans to achieve a potential demand in the United States can be frustrated due to the current tariffs and geopolitical tensions between the US and China<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of the features that could be attractive for international customers is the estimated price for the Xpeng P7. With advanced technology and a jaw-dropping design, the starting price is competitive: USD$ 42,000.<\/p>\n

The new model of the Xpeng P7 should go on sale in a few months<\/h3>\n

According to predictions, the new Xpeng P7 should go on sale in China this August, but the public reveal may happen at the Guangzhou Auto Show, which takes place in November this year. With this new model, Xpeng might consolidate itself as an international player in the electric vehicle market, but it may face the same problems that some other automakers have. Due to the geopolitical tensions and the current tariffs, it is possible that the North American market will not be able to see the new version of Xpeng P7. This Chinese automaker had a similar decision, and America will never see this car<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
