XPENG continues its offensive in Europe with the official announcement of the commercialization of its P7+ sedan in France.
XPENG confirms its offensive in the French market with the arrival of its P7+ sedan, announced at the IAA Munich 2025. After the G6 and G9 SUVs, the Chinese brand completes its European lineup with this third model, anticipated since its presentation at the Paris Motor Show in late 2024. Orders will open at the beginning of 2026, and the first deliveries are expected in the spring.
Beware of confusion, the P7+ is not the “New P7” recently unveiled in China. Longer and more technologically ambitious, this version has not yet been announced in Europe at this time. The P7+, with its 5.05 m length, fits into the D segment, offering dimensions close to large sedans and competing with the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4, and Polestar 2. Comfort and space of a large sedan at a more accessible price.
XPENG is equipping itself to succeed
Under the hood, the P7+ retains the strengths that make it renowned: LFP batteries of 60.7 kWh or 76.3 kWh, offering between 540 and 630 km of WLTP range. The 800-volt architecture allows for rapid charging, from 10% to 80% in just 12 minutes for the most powerful version, a true feat compared to current standards. The trunk reaches 725 liters, expandable to 2,220 liters once the seats are folded down, providing family space that the Model 3 cannot match.
But the P7+ is not just a fast sedan: it relies on AI. Its XNGP assisted driving system, already tested in China, utilizes cameras, radars, and ultrasounds to provide an advanced semi-autonomous experience. In Europe, certain functions may be restricted according to regulations.
