Just a short while after unveiling a new electric sports sedan named the P7, Chinese electric vehicle upstart Xpeng has begun making deliveries, notably a few weeks after the company formally opened a new factory to produce the new vehicle. Production has apparently begun at the newly opened plant and Xpeng says it aims to produce 100,000 P7 sedans annually. Xpeng surely moves fast, being a company founded only six years ago. The China-based company launched and begun making deliveries of its first vehicle, the G3 SUV, in 2018, four years after its launch. The P7 sports sedan is the company’s second-ever vehicle. A picture below gives an encouraging look of a large number of P7 sedans awaiting delivery into customers’ hands;

The Xpeng P7 costs anywhere between $32,000-$49,000 “post-subsidies”, quoting Xpeng. It’s available in 3 versions and 8 configurations. The vehicle’s best feature happens to be its range, which Xpeng pegs at up to 706km on full-charge. The P7 also utilizes Nvidia’s Drive Xavier chip, which is known to be the most powerful system-on-a-chip (SoC) package for assisted and autonomous driving out there.

The Xpeng P7 can be purchased at Xpeng’s sales and service centers, 190 of which are currently in existence.
