Xpeng is coming for Tesla’s crown with the new Xpeng G7, a sleek electric SUV that undercuts the Model Y by a wide margin. Starting at just ¥195,800, or about $27,000, it’s nearly $9,500 cheaper than Tesla’s well-known rival, and it doesn’t cut corners to get there.
On the outside, the G7 has a sharp look with a distinctive shark-nose front end, a full-width light bar, and sleek headlights. Flush door handles and frameless side mirrors keep the design clean, and depending on the trim, you can get it with stylish 18- or 20-inch wheels. It even has blue lighting to show when the car is driving itself.
At nearly 193 inches long, it’s a bit longer than the Model Y but shares the same wheelbase, meaning plenty of interior space. Inside, the design is minimal and modern. A floating 15.6-inch screen doubles as both the instrument panel and infotainment hub, while a heated two-spoke steering wheel adds a touch of comfort.
That comfort extends throughout the cabin. Even the base model comes with heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats. There’s a panoramic glass roof, 20-speaker sound system, wireless chargers, and even a fragrance diffuser. In the back, passengers also get heated and massaging seats, a fold-down armrest with charging, and even fold-out tables that hold your phone or tablet in place.
The Xpeng G7 is available in three versions, offering up to 436 miles of range on China’s generous CLTC test cycle. All three trims come with a single motor on the rear axle, producing 292 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. That’s good for 0 to 62 mph in about 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 126 mph.
Charging is fast, too. With a 451 kW DC fast charger, the G7 can gain up to 271 miles of range in just 10 minutes. A full 10 to 80 percent charge takes just 12 minutes.
Where the G7 really aims to stand out is in its tech. Xpeng claims it’s the world’s first “AI car” with Level 3 computing power, thanks to radar, ultrasonic sensors, cameras, and up to three powerful chips. All that supports a suite of semi-autonomous driving features, from lane centering to traffic sign recognition and remote parking.
There’s even an augmented reality head-up display developed with Huawei that projects an image up to 87 inches across. You can even watch movies on it when parked, basically turning your G7 into a personal drive-in theater.
