Chinese carmaker Xpeng has launched its G7 SUV in China, anticipating future models, including a sleeker, sportier successor to the original P7 flagship sedan, in Q3 2025. With 4,892 mm in length, 1,925 mm in width, and 1,655 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,890 mm, it sits neatly in between the G6 and G9 SUVs already available on the Old Continent.
Pre-sales in China started with a price tag of 235,800 yuan (approximately €28,460), while the G6 currently lists between 176,800 yuan (€21,340) and 198,800 yuan (€23,990), and the G9 between 248,800 yuan (€30,000) and 278,800 yuan (€36,650). In Belgium, at Hedin, these models start at €42,990 (G6) and €59,990 (G9) today.
5C charging standard
The G7 is built on an 800-volt high-voltage architecture, offering the standard benefit of 5C fast charging – theoretically in 12 minutes – and a (CLTC) range of 602 km to 702 km, powered by a 218 kW rear-mounted electric motor.
The midsize SUV features frameless doors with electronic soft-close functionality, flush door handles, and optional 18- or 20-inch wheels. Available in six exterior colours and four interior colour options, using also leather and wood. Nappa leather seats have ventilation, heating, and massage functions.
Large all-new head-up display
There is no dedicated instrument cluster; instead, the large central 15.6-inch floating display handles all the driver’s functions and the car’s entertainment system. But on the other hand, it introduces Xpeng’s ‘Light Pursuit Panoramic’ AR-HUD system.
This head-up display, developed jointly with Huawei, projects an 87-inch display field onto the windscreen in front of the driver, showing information such as driving assistance, speed, and road conditions, as well as more specific data like dynamic line-changing or complex intersection guidance.
Password-protected glove box
Luxury is assured with a panoramic sunroof, a 20-speaker audio system, also accessible via an 8-inch control screen in the rear, ambient lighting with 256-color options, a digital rearview mirror (that isn’t necessarily an improvement over a classic mirror), and even a password-protected glove box.
Xpeng equips the G7 as a first with extra intelligence, known as VLM (Vision-Language Models). This can be seen as the AI brain that helps the vehicle understand the world, guiding the evolution of its assisted driving and intelligent cockpit capabilities, according to Xpeng.
For this, it uses three ‘Turing AI’ chips developed by the company itself, delivering a computing power of +2,200 TOPS, making the G7 the world’s first AI vehicle to achieve L3 computing power, Xpeng states. This enables a vision-only autonomous driving system, allowing Xpeng to move away from LiDAR and to focus on cost-effective, software-centric solutions.
