This has also been a hotly discussed topic in the automotive industry recently, and has also triggered an exchange of words between He Xiaopeng and Huawei’s Yu Chengdong. , but this incident came to an end temporarily with He Xiaopeng’s compromise.

Gu Hong pointed out that if Chinese car companies want to survive to the end, they need to sell at least 3 million cars a year with the support of global exports, and half of the deliveries may come from markets outside China. “To join that ‘3 million club’, you can’t just be a Chinese player, you have to be a global player.”

He also pointed out that it may be difficult for Chinese car companies to enter the US market today, and the group needs time to research and find ways to enter the market. Even so, he believes that the group still sees many growth opportunities in markets outside China.

Speaking of this, everyone should be very curious, how are the overseas sales of Xpeng Motors? In fact, Xpeng has not disclosed overseas sales for a long time, but since the 2020 Xpeng G3, 2021 Xpeng P7, 2022 Xpeng P5 and other models, Xpeng Motors has been delivering in European markets such as Norway.

As far as the current business is concerned, Xpeng has built a basic system in Norway, including a complete operating system including sales, delivery, after-sales, charging, service and lifestyle.

In the Netherlands, Xpeng chose to cooperate with the largest local retailer “Emil Frey NV Group”. According to the 2020 European dealership ranking released by ICDP, an international automotive industry research organization, the Netherlands-based Emil Frey NV Group ranks first.

At the beginning of this year, Xpeng Motors tweeted and announced the launch of two new models in Europe.

Regarding the report card of overseas markets, He Xiaopeng once publicly responded: “It takes 10 years of deployment and preparation determination to go overseas, and overseas developed markets will contribute half of Xpeng Motors’ car deliveries.”

After 2022, Xpeng’s overseas battle is still accelerating. In February 2022, Xpeng Motors launched the 2.0 strategy to fight in Europe again, announcing that it had reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the leading distributors in Europe, Emil Frey NV Group of the Netherlands and Bilia Group of Sweden, to promote the rapid introduction of Xpeng Motors into the local market, and set up a new car in Stockholm, Sweden.

Today, the new Xpeng P7i is officially unveiled. It is reported that the new car will be listed in mid-March.

As a mid-term facelift of the Xpeng P7, there is not much difference in appearance, mainly in the interior details, the addition of laser radar, and the power has also been improved. The upgrade points mainly lie in:

Added an interstellar green color scheme (bright paint surface), which is younger than the green of the G9 commemorative edition;

The battery is upgraded from 81 kWh to 86 kWh, but the thickness remains at 110 mm;

Although it is still a 400 V platform, the maximum charging power has been increased to 175 kW, which is a significant increase compared to the 90 kW of the old model;

Upgrade to the same assisted driving hardware as G9, including lidar, 8-megapixel camera, and 2 Orin X chips;

Upgraded from 820A chip to Snapdragon SA8155P, the car responds faster;

The 0-100 km acceleration of the two-wheel drive version has been improved from 6.7 seconds to 6.4 seconds, and the four-wheel drive version has been improved from 4.3 seconds to 3.9 seconds

Let me briefly introduce this new car to you. Although the P7i did not make a major change to the appearance, its headlight group accommodated a new left and right lidar, so the new P7i’s light group was stretched inward a little, and the original high and low beams also changed. From the original left and right placement to a more compact top and bottom placement, the high beam illumination range has increased by 20%.

Another obvious change is that the P7i rear row is equipped with privacy glass as standard, and the owner no longer needs to paste the privacy glass film after picking up the car; and the entire series is equipped with electric suction doors as standard, and the position of the side camera is changed from the original The pure black design has been changed to a silver and black color contrast design, and an external switch for the trunk has been added.

Perhaps because of the changes in the taillights and tailgate, the length of the Xpeng P7i has increased to 4888 mm, which is 8 mm higher than the old model. The width, height and wheelbase of the car are exactly the same as the old model.

The new car has a lot of changes in assisted driving. First, the forward-sensing camera has changed from the original trinocular camera solution to the binocular camera solution of the wide-angle + telephoto camera. These two cameras have been upgraded to 8 megapixels and are equipped with XPILOT 4.0 assisted driving hardware, which is exactly the same as the Max version of G9.

This new car is equipped with dual lidar, the second-generation intelligent assisted driving system XNGP, the second-generation visual perception architecture, XNet deep visual neural network, and a full-stack self-developed system. The MAX version is also equipped with dual Orin-X chips and equipped with 31 sensing elements, with a computing power level of up to 508TOPS, which is significantly improved compared to the 30TOPS computing power of the old model.

In addition, the SR instrument environment simulation display system has also been upgraded. The new instrument environment simulation display is based on the pure visual perception ability of XNet, and the real world is three-dimensionally projected into the car screen, presenting the driving perception information during human driving and car driving in real-time. Improve the overall sense, immersion and driving safety of cockpit interaction. Compared with the original environmental simulation display, a wider range of perception and more numbers and types of perception objects have been added.

Xpeng P7i has made many adjustments in the interior. For example, the biggest change in the front interior is the redesign of the central armrest area. The steering wheel adopts a new design (the same model as the G9), and the style of the chrome-plated strip running through the front center console has also changed from the old model.

In terms of details, the armrest box is upgraded to be reversible left and right, a new car fragrance system, a liftable cup holder, a vertical wireless charging stand, interactive buttons and storage space, and the charging interface in the central area has changed from the original low-power Type A interface. It has been upgraded to a Type C interface with a maximum power of 60 W, and the maximum power of the 12 V fast charging interface is still 180 W.

In addition, the new car uses the same Xsmart OS 4.0 system as the Xpeng G9, and with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the fluency is significantly improved compared to the old model; the new car is also equipped with the four-tone voice on the G9, and the voice recognition is accurate. The instruction execution speed is fast, and it also supports the continuous execution of multiple instructions in multiple locations.

It is worth mentioning that the Dynaudio audio of Xpeng P7i has been upgraded from the original 7.1.2 channel to 7.1.4 channel, with a maximum power of 860 W.

In terms of seats, the new car has also been improved, including the optimization of the height of the shoulders of the front seats, the lengthening of the rear seat cushions, and the optimization of the rear inclination angle to 28°, and the multi-layer composite slow-rebound sponge is used inside the seat cushions. The sense of wrapping has improved. In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with comfortable headrests/neck pillows, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, new hidden exclusive speakers for the main driver, and ventilation for the main and passenger seats.

In terms of power, the new car still provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models to choose from, and has been optimized for the software system. Among them, the two-wheel drive model has a maximum power of 203kW, a maximum torque of 440N∙m, an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 6.4s, and a cruising range of 670km and 702km under CLTC conditions; The 0-100km/h acceleration time is 3.9s, and the cruising range under CLTC conditions is 610km.

According to previous reports from 36 Krypton, Xpeng Motors has put self-developed batteries on the agenda, and Zhong Liang, a former senior battery engineer at BMW, is in charge. It is said that Xpeng’s battery research and development team currently has about 100 people. At present, Xpeng has a lot of communication with the upstream material supply chain. The initial landing period of its self-developed battery is about 5 years. In response, Xpeng Motors responded that the personnel changes are true, but self-developed batteries are “nothing”.

Xpeng Motors previously established Guangzhou Pengbo Automobile Technology Company with a registered capital of 5 billion yuan, and its business scope includes battery manufacturing, battery parts production, and motor manufacturing. Regarding the establishment of this entity company, Xpeng Motors stated that it has no connection with self-made batteries.

Over the past few months, several Chinese EVs have received five-star ratings from Europe’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). To earn this rating, vehicles need to be equipped with active and passive safety features that go well beyond the basic requirements of the law.

Gu Hongdi, president of Chinese EV maker Xpeng, said: “All Chinese EV makers want to get a five-star Euro NCAP rating in order to be more competitive in the European market.”

Gu Hongdi added that over the past three years, Xiaopeng has been building stores and service centers in countries such as Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, and will officially launch the electric P7 sedan and G9 SUV in these four countries next year.

Matthew Avery, director of Thatcham Research, a British car research center funded by insurers and a member of the NCAP board, said Chinese EV makers had recognized that safety played an extremely important role in the sales process.

NCAP’s five-star rating is seen as key to dispelling European concerns about the quality of Chinese-made cars, with severe crash test failures in 2006 and 2007 giving the impression that Chinese cars are less safe.

Perhaps more important to sales, the high safety ratings also open up a potentially huge corporate fleet market for Chinese EV makers. In key markets including Germany, France and the United Kingdom, corporate fleet sales account for about half of all vehicle sales, and safety is a top priority for many corporate buyers.

“Corporate fleet sales are very important, and many companies emphasize five-star ratings when buying a car,” Avery said.
