Nice and neutral review here, thanks for that. I like your style. Subbed. I had the opportunity to test drive this car in denmark and I was surprised at how good it was. For a company this young they do a lot of things right. It was a smooth ride, modern software and extremely good automatic parking. Also the full scenario voice assistant worked well in english. I was able to adjust the AC with just one sentence in a matter of seconds. For some reason though Xpeng struggles massively to get a foot into the EU marked and even the sales in China are currently very weak. I wonder why. I understand the name "Xpeng" is not the best one for the EU market but other than that its a great car. The store in denmark also saw very little visitors and interest.
Thanks very much Karlos, appreciate your comments. As for the reasons behind lower interest in Europe, I think it's just a case of time. Chinese brands still have to convince the public that they make good cars now and that takes time and getting bums on seats so people can see it for themselves. It also means you need consistent and prominent marketing and I'm not sure how much any of the Chinese brands are doing on that front. XPeng had a bad last month because they're changing production focus onto the G9 which is the key model right now, with maybe an updated P7 on the way. I've seen the prototypes myself in Guangzhou so hopefully it'll address some of the weak points in this version.
No doubt the game has moved on very quickly which means refreshes are more important than ever. But we have seen the P7 testing with LiDAR so hopefully it gets a kit upgrade with that to step up a touch, plus some cabin upgrades, though interior space will likely need to wait for an all-new version.
@@InsideChinaAuto the interior of this car it looks a lot of cheap materials..even if this car is compared to the et5 which has the same price range, et5 is still better
@number19real OK, we get it, you've got shares in NIO. The ET5 definitely has better materials, the P7 is a bit disappointing in that respect but it's a lot older and cheaper too. It also comes from a time when XPeng weren't really sure who they were targeting I think, but it wasn't the premium audience of NIO. I think that's changing though with the G9, they've moved their own game on a lot, NIO matured much faster.
Xpeng recently updated the P7 with the P7i, That model comes with a Qualcomm 8155, Nvidia Orin-X and a CLTC-measured range of 700KM. Fast-charging times have been improved to 30 mins. Would be interested to see how that compares with the old model
@@InsideChinaAuto In here electric cars from Chinese manufacturer are: Wuling Air EV Wuling Binggo (rumored) Chery Omoda 5 EV (coming soon) MG4 MG ZS Neta V Neta S, U (coming soon) DFSK e1 (coming soon) DFSK Gelora e Ora 03/funky cat (coming soon) BYD e6 (not sure if this is commercialize) And for e-motorcycles: Segway Yadea Niu Alrendo Super soco Zeeho Luyuan/Tail G And more less known brands To be honest, its quite sad in Indonesia there are not a lot of approachable EV yet (mostly Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Wuling Air Ev specifically). This is the beginning and I hope there will be more approachable, quirky, unique EV especially hatchbacks and sedan from China to Indonesia. Btw keep up the video. I can binge watching all of your videos, very entertaining.
@batredingin You've got a decent bunch there though and surely more to come. World's 4th largest country, that's got to be a market worth looking at surely. Glad you have NIU in there too. I'm on my second NIU now. Loved my first one so much I took it back to the UK. Hope more of these fun cars come your way, and glad you like the channel.
Okay Iam sorry but.. the car doesn’t look bad. But. The side especially in red looks like an Tesla model S (the window line) And the rear lights look straight from an Toyota Mirai first gen.
I believe in Europe it can, but in China I haven't managed to change it to English yet and am not sure it is possible. Not sure why it can't have both.
There are 4 things i dont like about this car. 1- the pillars are super thick. All of them make the visibility difficult 2- The rear window is super small. Which goes in the visibility folder 3- The door handles will create problems in cold weather climates and snow and ice. Unless of course they are heated. Which i doubt. 4- The wheels are ugly. Everyone is doing black wheels and it detracts from the look of the car. I would go with at least a chrome lip. I miss chrome on the wheels these days I was going to include the rear headrests, but it looks like they can be removed for better visibility.
If the American lives in Europe or China, yes, but I'm afraid they're not available stateside yet, and that may become more difficult with the recent requirements for sourcing of battery materials that Biden announced recently, so getting hold of Chinese EVs won't be easy. But XPeng do have a location in the US for tech development and I know they want to be in the US, just not sure when that chance will come.
We tried it on the XPeng superchargers here in China and it added a lot of range in a short time. Not sure if the Euro version has the same opportunities or not.

Thanks a lot for the explanation!
One reason: Slow fast charging speed of max 100kwh/h
Tesla, Kia, Hyundai, Porsche offer twice the charging speed.
Kudos on being the first reviewer to pronounce XPeng correctly.
Haha. I hear some pronounce it right one time then wrong the next time. Don't know why it's hard to be consistent.
It's good, but I feel a bit overmatched overall, especially at the top end ... I'd prefer the Zeekr over this one.

Nio et7 is still better
@number19real It is but they're not even competing in the same space, the ET7 is much bigger, much more expensive, and more powerful, and newer.

Yeah, I'm looking to get hold of one soon to do a comparison. I think the interior improved quite a bit too.
I test this car 2 weeks ago ,one motor is good enough,but dual would be better!Nice video!
Thanks very much. Yeah, I enjoyed the RWD feeling, dual would be mega.
I wonder why xpeng wasn't available in Singapore? We kinda only have BYD, MG and Ora good cat for cars for now i think.
I'm sure they'll get there. No RHD yet though, but once the UK market is opened, Singapore needn't be too far behind.
I like your vlogs . I hope you make full review for NIO es8 ( 7 seater )
Looking to get hold of one. Will put it up as soon as I get it. Thanks for watching.

@@InsideChinaAuto I'll definitely looking forward, and youre right Indonesia and other SEA countries have a big potential.
would someone please let me know in China can we get an English menu version of this car?
You want the English menu in China or in Europe? I believe in Europe you can get it in English but I haven't seen it made available in China.
Okay Iam sorry but.. the car doesn’t look bad. But. The side especially in red looks like an Tesla model S (the window line) And the rear lights look straight from an Toyota Mirai first gen.
I definitely see the Model S in the side profile too, it's got that quite large metal to glass ratio. Good looking car though as you say.
P7 is like Fucar from Cyberpunk2077, They should invite Keanu Reeves as advertising ambassador
Wouldn't be a bad idea. They could really play up their electric look.
Please Can screen written change to english
I believe in Europe it can, but in China I haven't managed to change it to English yet and am not sure it is possible. Not sure why it can't have both.

Am I right in thinking you've had the chance to try it out in Europe?
@@InsideChinaAuto no I got all that info from videos like this and others
@@Sjrick Cool. It's certainly got its flaws, materials is probably my biggest gripe, but it's good to drive and looks pretty cool.
Does the ui support english language ?
Not in China but I understand the European car does.
Can Americans order this vehicle?
If the American lives in Europe or China, yes, but I'm afraid they're not available stateside yet, and that may become more difficult with the recent requirements for sourcing of battery materials that Biden announced recently, so getting hold of Chinese EVs won't be easy. But XPeng do have a location in the US for tech development and I know they want to be in the US, just not sure when that chance will come.
@@InsideChinaAuto understood, thank you!
The charge speed is so slow, not recommend this car for traveling.
77kw peak is slower then a fiat 500 lol
We tried it on the XPeng superchargers here in China and it added a lot of range in a short time. Not sure if the Euro version has the same opportunities or not.
If that’s true, they really should update the car before shipping it internationally. It has the looks!
I iown P7 Performance and its peaks at 90 kW, but I have had 91:) Quite high charging curve for a long time goes quite Quick
