Xpeng officially launched the 2026 P7+ on 8 January 2026 in Guangzhou, with a global rollout across 36 countries scheduled to follow. The headline addition for the model year is the new REV (range-extender / EREV) variant: a five-door fastback sedan with a 49.2 kWh LFP battery, 430 km of pure-electric CLTC range, and 1,550 km of combined CLTC range when the 1.5T petrol generator is factored in. Pricing for the REV starts at ¥186,800 (~$26,800) for the 430 Max trim and rises to ¥198,800 (~$28,500) for the 430 Ultra. The REV launches alongside refreshed BEV variants — 615 Max (61.7 kWh) and 725 Max (74.9 kWh) — sharing the same body, dimensions, and 800V SiC platform.
Performance & Specs
| Drive motor | Permanent magnet synchronous, rear |
|---|---|
| Range extender | 1.5T petrol, 110 kW peak / 210 N·m |
| Battery | 49.2 kWh LFP (5C "AI battery") |
| Drivetrain | Rear-wheel drive (series hybrid) |
The P7+ REV is a true series hybrid: the 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine never drives the wheels mechanically, acting only as a generator to top up the 49.2 kWh LFP battery. Drive comes exclusively from a single 180 kW (241 hp) permanent-magnet synchronous motor at the rear, paired to a 450 N·m torque output. The 45-litre fuel tank, combined with a CLTC hybrid-mode consumption of just 2.24 l/100 km, extends total range to 1,550 km on a single fuel + charge cycle — comfortably more than a typical Beijing-Shanghai run. The BEV variants share the same 180 kW rear motor on the entry trim and step up to 230 kW (308 hp) on the 725 Max long-range model. Top speed is electronically limited to 200 km/h across the lineup.

Dimensions & Practicality
| Length | 5,071 mm |
|---|---|
| Width | 1,937 mm |
| Height | 1,512 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,000 mm |
| Body style | 5-door liftback sedan |
At 5,071 mm long with a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the 2026 P7+ is genuinely full-size — longer than the BMW i5, the BYD Han L, and the Tesla Model S. The body is a 5-door fastback liftback rather than a traditional notchback sedan, with the rear glass and tailgate hinged together for easier loading. The drag coefficient is 0.206 Cd — among the lowest in series production today — which directly underwrites the long range. Boot capacity is 725 litres standard or 2,221 litres with the rear seats folded. The walk-around shows 20-inch alloy wheels with X-spoke design, Michelin Pilot Sport tyres in 255/45R20, and Xpeng's own (XPI) brake calipers. Ground clearance is approximately 200 mm. The cabin walk-around confirms a panoramic glass roof — but with no powered sunshade, an unusual omission for the segment.

Charging & Battery
The P7+ REV runs an 800V silicon-carbide architecture with a 5C charging rate — an unusually fast specification for a range-extender, where physical battery capacity is small enough that fast-charging is often deprioritised. On a compatible high-power station, a 10% to 80% charge takes approximately 12 minutes; five minutes adds 277 km of CLTC range to the battery. The BEV variants share the same 800V platform, with the 725 Max BEV running peak charging up to 451 kW. AC charging is supported on a domestic wallbox; full overnight charging from empty takes around 10 hours on a typical 7 kW connection. The CLTC pure-electric range of 430 km on the REV is, per Xpeng's own claim, the longest pure-EV range available on any range-extender sedan currently on sale globally. A 277 km top-up in 5 minutes makes urban-only daily driving fully feasible without ever firing up the engine.

Design & Interior
The 2026 P7+ keeps the original’s distinctive split-LED daytime running signature spanning the full width of the bonnet, with X-shaped headlight clusters at each end and the trademark X badge on a smooth, body-coloured nose. The fastback profile, gloss black roof, frameless doors, and flush handles all carry over from the launch model. At the rear, a full-width LED light bar wraps the “XPENG” wordmark with an animated chase signature, and the lip spoiler is integrated cleanly into the rear deck for a 0.206 Cd drag coefficient. Inside, the cabin pairs a 15.6-inch landscape central touchscreen with an 8.8-inch driver display, a 29-inch AR HUD — among the largest in any production car — and a 20-speaker, 1,072 W “Lingjing AI” sound system. The REV adds active road-noise (RNC) and engine-noise (ENC) cancellation to address acoustic concerns specific to the range-extender setup. A passenger-side zero-gravity seat, dual-layer acoustic front glass, and electric-powered door openers feature on the upper trims.
Technology & Features
The biggest software story of the 2026 facelift is the move to Xpeng's own self-developed Turing AI chips, replacing the Nvidia Orin X used at the original P7+ launch. Combined with the second-generation VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model that powers Xpeng XNGP, the upgrade triples on-board compute on the flagship to ~2,250 TOPS (3× Turing chips on the Ultra trim). The infotainment runs Xpeng's Tianji AIOS 6.0 on a MediaTek MT8676 SoC. Sensor philosophy remains pure vision — 11 cameras, 3 millimetre-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, with no LiDAR. Xpeng claims this delivers full Highway and Urban NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) coverage at lower hardware cost than LiDAR-equipped rivals. Note that the 2026 model ships with Chinese-language UI only at launch in China; the previous-generation 2025 P7+ shipped with English UI globally on XOS 5.8, but the global English rollout for XOS 6.0 has not yet been confirmed.
Safety & ADAS
The P7+ ships with Xpeng's full XNGP suite as standard, including AEB with vehicle/pedestrian/cyclist detection, ACC with stop-and-go, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic parking with memory, and active obstacle avoidance. Highway NGP and Urban NGP — Xpeng's full-stack point-to-point navigation-guided pilot — are both standard on all trims via Xpeng's pure-vision approach. The Ultra trim’s three Turing chips (~2,250 TOPS) enable the full second-generation VLA model with broadest scenario coverage. Passive safety leans on Xpeng's high-strength steel-and-aluminium body cell, full curtain airbags, and the LFP battery pack's intrinsic thermal stability.
| ADAS PLATFORM | Xpeng XNGP (2nd-gen VLA) |
|---|---|
| COMPUTE | Up to 3× Xpeng Turing chips, ~2,250 TOPS (Ultra) |
| SENSORS | 11 cameras, 3 mmWave radar, 12 ultrasonic (no LiDAR) |

Pricing & Availability
The 2026 P7+ launched on 8 January 2026 with all four trims on sale simultaneously. Pricing matches across REV and BEV at the entry and top trims (¥186,800 and ¥198,800 respectively), reflecting Xpeng's deliberate strategy of charging the same for either powertrain rather than penalising one over the other. The vehicle is being rolled out across 36 international markets in 2026, with Xpeng confirming local assembly partners in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Austria (Graz) for production beyond China. Xpeng's standard warranty applies: 5 years/120,000 km on the vehicle and lifetime warranty on the battery for the original owner under standard mileage. Note that the showroom unit reviewed in the source video runs XOS 6.0 in Chinese only; the 2025 model with English UI on XOS 5.8 remains available as a parallel option for export.
How It Compares
The P7+ REV occupies a niche of its own. No direct rival currently offers a series-hybrid liftback sedan with 430 km of pure-electric range and 800V / 5C fast-charging at this price. The BYD Han L EV is more powerful with AWD but is BEV-only and ~$3,700 more expensive. The Tesla Model 3 is the obvious global benchmark but is significantly shorter, less practical (no liftback boot), and $5,200 more in China while delivering 994 km less combined range. The Zeekr 007 GT stretches further on BEV range with 5C charging, but at a $6,200 premium. For the buyer who wants Tesla Model 3 / BMW i5 luxury-sedan dimensions with proper long-haul range and the lowest possible total range anxiety, the P7+ REV is genuinely without competition at its price point.
- 1,550 km combined CLTC range — class-leading total range for a series-hybrid sedan
- 430 km pure-EV range on REV — longest pure-EV range of any range-extender currently on sale
- 800V SiC + 5C charging on a range-extender is essentially unique at this price
- 0.206 Cd drag coefficient — among the most aerodynamic production sedans
- Xpeng's own Turing chips + 2nd-gen VLA model deliver pure-vision NGP without LiDAR cost
- 29″ AR HUD, 20-speaker audio, 5,071 mm full-size dimensions for ¥186,800
- 2026 model launches with Chinese-only UI; English support depends on XOS 6.0 export rollout
- Panoramic glass roof has no powered sunshade — can be glare-heavy in bright sunlight
- RWD only — no AWD option on REV or BEV
- Pure-vision approach lacks LiDAR redundancy that some rivals (Tang L, NIO ET5T) include
- 2.24 l/100 km hybrid CLTC consumption is optimistic; real-world likely 4–5 l/100 km
The 2026 Xpeng P7+ REV is the most strategically interesting executive sedan in China this year. It applies the same dual-powertrain logic that Li Auto built its empire on — range-extender for long-distance, BEV for daily — but does it on an 800V architecture with 5C charging and a 0.206 Cd liftback body that looks closer to a Porsche Taycan than a hybrid commuter. At ¥186,800 ($26,800), the entry P7+ REV undercuts the Tesla Model 3 by ~$5,000 in China while offering 994 km more total range, a 29-inch AR HUD, full-stack Urban NGP, and Xpeng's own Turing chips. The pure-vision ADAS is a strategic bet that mainstream buyers won't pay extra for LiDAR redundancy when the camera-only system can match LiDAR-equipped systems on real-world performance. If Xpeng can deliver the global English-language software in time, the P7+ REV becomes one of the most compelling executive sedans in any market under $30,000.
