XPENG has rolled out its 100,000th P7 smart sports sedan model, which has now become the first model from a Chinese pure-EV brand to reach the production milestone of 100,000 units.

The vehicle, which was launched on April 27, 2020, rolled off its 100,000th model after 695 days of its official debut, setting a record for pure electric vehicles from emerging auto brands in China.

To mark this milestone, XPENG also rolled out the P7 562E Black Label Edition at its Zhaoqing plant today. Based on the P7 four-wheel-drive performance version, this all-black special commemorative edition is equipped with the XPILOT 3.0 advanced driver assistance hardware system with Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) and Valet Parking Assist (VPA). The P7 562E Black Label Edition will be officially launched in China on April 10, 2022.

XPENG’s P7 model has achieved a 5-star safety rating with a total score of 89.4% and the highest active safety score of 98.51% among electric vehicles in China from the China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP).

It has also become the first to receive a 5-star rating from the i-VISTA (Intelligent Vehicle Integrated Systems Test Area) intelligent vehicle testing platform in China with four “Excellent” ratings in smart driving, smart safety, smart interaction, and smart energy efficiency. The car also obtained “Excellent” ratings in lane change assist, AEB emergency braking, LDW (Lane Departure Warning), as well as in smoothness and richness of touchscreen and voice interaction.

These accomplishments reflect the popularity of the EV, as well as customers’ recognition of the P7’s quality and smart functionality, as XPENG takes on the auto giant Tesla for dominance in the Chinese EV market.
