At its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the young Chinese automobile brand presented the P7+ for the first time, a model equipped with artificial intelligence (AI). This also integrates other technologies for autonomous driving. The aim is to contribute to a safer, smarter, more sustainable, and more comfortable driving experience with AI and advanced technologies. “Xpeng is convinced that the future of the automotive industry lies in technology: AI and autonomous driving mark the next revolution,” explains He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO. The electric sedan uses AI technology for chassis, drive, and cockpit, and the integrated AI Hawkeye Visual Solution is also based on artificial intelligence with its various sensors.

The main features include:

  • advanced assistance and safety systems (ADAS) as standard in all model variants, which are continuously improved and developed through over-the-air updates - without additional fees or subscriptions
  • the Xpeng AI Hawkeye Visual Solution based on AI models, which improves the understanding of space and time and increases precision, range, and color resolution
  • a spacious interior that surpasses the space of an SUV and offers plenty of storage space - especially with folded rear seats
  • the 800-volt SiC platform already known from the G9, which enables fast charging - with an energy consumption of 11.6 kWh per 100 kilometers

The so-called AI Hawkeye Vision Solution is equipped with two 8M cameras at the front and rear, millimeter-wave and ultrasonic radar, and delivers intelligent driving performance comparable to previous solutions that relied on costly LiDAR systems and HD map coverage, promises the manufacturer. Supported by navigation data, the system already offers seamless autonomous driving functions in China. To introduce this technology to Europe and other markets worldwide, the manufacturer has already successfully tested its highway assistant "Highway NGP" – a global launch is planned for 2025.

Additionally, there is a next-generation intelligent cockpit, where driving modes, instrument panel, and displays can be individually adapted to the preferences of each user. With the self-developed Turing Chip, the company also aims to reinforce its technological leadership: The chip was developed for AI-defined vehicles, robots, and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) and is part of its own ecosystem around artificial intelligence, encompassing AI models, high-performance computer chips, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and flying cars. The manufacturer is steadily expanding its global presence and is currently represented in 30 countries and regions, especially in Europe, as it is said.
