As a leader among the new forces in car manufacturing, Xpeng Motors’ performance in recent times has not been satisfactory, especially the delivery volume has been opened by competitors. In the eyes of the outside world, Xpeng urgently needs a powerful model to help it increase sales. On March 6, the long-awaited new Xpeng P7 (that is, Xpeng P7i) was finally officially announced, and its price has not been officially announced, but it is certain that the new car will be officially launched soon. According to the wisdom car school, some car bloggers have obtained some details of P7i after communicating with the product manager of Xpeng, which has certain reference significance for new and old users.
According to the blogger, Xpeng P7 old users cannot upgrade the 8155 chip, mainly because the electronic and electrical architecture of the new model has completely changed, and it cannot be upgraded by simply replacing the chip. However, Xpeng will continue to optimize at the software level for old models, and there will be 3-4 major OTA upgrades. Smart Car believes that this will undoubtedly help old users continue to get new experiences.
In addition, the blogger also looked at the bottom of the new car and found that the new P7i still did not have an anti-roll bar. However, the chassis tuning of the new car has been optimized, and the rear-drive/four-wheel drive will have different chassis calibrations, including steering damping. According to the product manager, the new car drives like the old model.
The smart car school also learned that the battery capacity of the Xpeng P7i has been upgraded to more than 90 degrees (for comparison, the battery capacity of the old P7 is about 80 degrees), and the actual usable is about 90 degrees. The blogger broke the news that although the actual battery life of the new car has not changed much, with the upgrade of the thermal management system, the control of power consumption will be better than before. Simply put, the official cruising range of the Xpeng P7i will not change, but the power consumption performance will be improved.
