Xpeng to Launch Redesigned P7 Sedan in Q3 to Challenge Rivals
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng Motors plans to release a completely redesigned version of its flagship P7 sports sedan in July or August 2025. This launch marks the first major overhaul of the model in six years, aiming to revitalize sales and compete directly with rivals like the Xiaomi SU7 and Tesla Model 3. The new P7 features an estimated starting price of RMB 300,000 ($41,580) and integrates advanced technology, including a vision-based driver assistance system powered by Xpeng’s in-house Turing AI chip. Unveiled on May 15, 2025, the vehicle boasts a sleek, aerodynamic design with distinctive full-width LED light bars and an electric tail wing. Although the P7 accounted for over 60% of Xpeng’s total shipments in 2021, its market share has declined amid intensifying competition. The new model offers a smaller cabin space compared to the family-oriented P7+, targeting customers seeking AI-powered luxury and futuristic aesthetics. This strategic release highlights Xpeng's effort to regain momentum in the highly competitive Chinese EV market through technological innovation and design updates.
