- Xpeng’s upcoming P7 sedan features a sleek design with distinctive Y-shaped LEDs.
- Local reports suggest a driving range exceeding 435 miles (700 km) and up to 466 hp.
- The electric sedan is expected to be unveiled in Q3 during the Guangzhou Auto Show.
The next iteration of the Xpeng P7 has arrived, previously known under the internal code name E29. The first official images released by the Chinese automaker reveal a striking new sedan that looks far more distinctive than Xpeng’s current lineup, which is a refreshing change considering how many electric vehicles these days blend into the same uninspired mold.

Designed by Rafik Ferrag who was also responsible for the first generation P7, The front end of the new model seems as though Xpeng may have taken some design inspiration from the lights of the Lamborghini Revuelto and those of the local Honda S7. Dominating the fascia of the P7 are sideways Y-shaped DRLs and a light bar, while positioned just beneath the light bar are the main headlamps. We can also see that the Xpeng badge up front is illuminated.

The fastback-style shape of the E29 is hard to miss, and the retractable rear spoiler only adds to its dynamic appearance. At the back, thin LED strips complement the front lights, giving the car a unified, contemporary look.
This model might also mark the debut of Xpeng’s new Kunpeng EV platform, which could have the versatility to support range-extender options, though the company has yet to confirm any technical details. For now, it’s expected that the P7 will launch exclusively as an EV, potentially offering power and range figures similar to, or slightly better than, the P7+. That could mean up to 466 hp (348 kW) with dual motors, and a CTLC range surpassing 435 miles (700 km).
While Xpeng hasn’t shared any official interior teasers yet, spy shots circulating in China suggest it will feature a large central infotainment screen, as well as light purple leather seats. The P7 may also introduce a simplified vision-based advanced driver assistance system, in contrast to other Xpeng models that include LiDAR technology.
Dimensions for the car have yet to be published, but it looks noticeably longer than a Tesla Model 3. Autohome reports that it’s expected to be unveiled in the third quarter of the year during the Guangzhou Auto Show, but we should get to see it in better detail earlier than that, thanks to China’s trusty Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
At this stage, Xpeng is calling it the next P7, although Chinese media reports suggest that the company has secured the “P7 Ultra” name. Regardless of what it ends up being called, the car is slated to go on sale towards the end of the year.
