This week has been filled with details about the upcoming Xpeng G7 SUV. As anticipated, extra data has appeared due to a authorities regulator.
Beforehand, the pinnacle of public relations at Xpeng stated that we might anticipate a robust new automobile to be on this month’s listings from the Ministry of Business and Data Expertise (MIIT). As we beforehand reported it was unclear whether or not this meant energy within the sense of horsepower or whether or not it meant one thing extra metaphorically.
As we will see on this month’s MIIT listings, it might seem that the automobile is extra metaphorical. There are two listings, each for a automobile powered by a 218KW TZ230XY01F30B electrical motor provided by the Wuhan division of Xpeng.
Xpeng’s new mannequin is bigger than thought, with a size of 4892 mm, a width of 1925 mm, and a peak of 1655 mm. This really makes the G7 longer by all of 1 millimeter than the G9, which is at the moment Xpeng’s largest SUV. There may be, nevertheless, a key distinction. The wheelbase of the G7 is considerably shorter at 2890 mm in comparison with the 2998 mm of the G9.
Whereas there are two listings for the automobile, there are literally 4 curb weights listed. For the primary automobile, which is presumably the decrease spec model, there are weights of 2085 and 2100 kg listed, whereas the opposite automobile has weights of 2145 and 2160 kg. Each supply a selection of 18 or 20-inch wheels.
Presumably, the distinction in weight is essentially accounted for by totally different battery hack capacities. Each automobiles use lithium iron phosphate batteries provided by CALB.
The MIIT data confirms that Xpeng is more than likely going to attempt once more a excessive configuration and comparatively low worth technique as used with the Mona M03 and P7+. These two fashions have managed to show round Xpeng’s gross sales figures which beforehand had been stagnating, if not declining.
Costs for the brand new G7 might begin at round 200,000 yuan (27,300 USD). Gross sales ought to start within the first half of 2025.
It’s believed that the brand new SUV will deal with intelligence and house. Because of the brand new Hawk AI system Xpeng is ready to supply good driving at a significantly decrease price as a result of want of not equipping automobiles with Lidar.
