REVIEW: The Xpeng P7 is the Chinese firm's answer to the Tesla Model 3 - but does it match its US rival's technology and driving dynamics?
than the Model 3. That said, the smaller car seems a fairer comparison: Tesla is still considered an industry start-up in some quarters, but consider that the Model S launched two years before Xpeng was founded…
The impressive 358-mile range, which is competitive with the likes of the Model 3 and Ioniq 6, is enabled by the sleek, sharp styling that sits somewhere between a saloon and a grand coupé – Xpeng claims a drag coefficient of 0.236 – which results in an official efficiency of 3.7mpkWh. It also gives the machine an undoubted dash of kerb appeal.
There are two thumb-operated scrollers that are fixed in function: one operates the air-con temperature; the other adjusts the volume. Xpeng says customer research showed those to be the two key functions customers used the most, but we’d welcome the ability to be able to set custom functions so we could potentially replace the temperature controls with a drive mode selector.
Where the P7 really impresses is on the road. The steering has a sharpness and fluency that can be lacking in some Chinese machines: it responds well to inputs and offers some feedback, although it’s still not exactly a true driver’s car. The whack of instant electric torque makes for pleasingly instant response and appealingly rapid and easy progress.There’s double-wishbone suspension at the front and a multi-link rear set-up, and the ride is generally good.
