Dubbed Xpeng’s first “Super AI [artificial intelligence] car”, the G7 starts at 195,800 yuan (US$27,325), with the top-of-the-line model selling for 225,800 yuan, the Guangzhou-headquartered company said during a launch event in Beijing on Thursday.
“The G7 is an epoch-making product from Xpeng and also our first new car in 2025,” said He. “Starting today, in Xpeng’s intelligent driving system, there will not only be L2, but we will also bring L3 intelligent-driving computing power to consumers.”
Xpeng unveiled the G7 on June 11 and started presales at 235,800 yuan, placing the car between the company’s G6 and flagship G9 SUVs. The model garnered more than 10,000 pre-orders in 46 minutes, He said in a post on Chinese social-media platform Sina Weibo last month.
L3 is considered a “hands-off” system, but still requires drivers to be responsible for safety and ready to take over, while L4 would allow drivers to take their eyes off the road in designated areas, according to standards set by US-based SAE International.
