How effective is the roof heat insulation of the XPeng P7?
3 Answers
The XPeng P7 features a very large panoramic sunroof with excellent light transmission and utilizes a special coating material that provides impressive heat insulation. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Powertrain: The XPeng P7 AWD High-Performance version adopts a dual-motor powertrain (front and rear). The front motor delivers a maximum power of 120kW, while the rear motor reaches 196kW, resulting in a combined system power of 316kW (430 horsepower) and a peak torque of 655N·m. It accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 4.3 seconds, showcasing outstanding performance. 2. Configuration: The 14.94-inch central control screen inherits the car's design language, featuring a clean and intuitive UI interface. The overall user experience resembles that of a smartphone, ensuring easy operation. The 'XPeng' intelligent voice assistant is highly capable, enabling voice control for navigation, music, air conditioning settings, and even driving mode changes.
The thermal insulation effect of the XPeng P7's roof is generally moderate, primarily due to its panoramic glass roof. The glass is coated with a special film that filters infrared and ultraviolet rays, with the official claim of blocking about 70% of heat, which performs decently in tests but is slightly weaker compared to traditional metal roofs. During direct summer sunlight, the roof surface heats up, making the upper body area inside the car feel warm, especially noticeable after prolonged parking. It is recommended to use the factory sunshade, which significantly improves the shading effect. The air conditioning system is powerful, but insufficient insulation increases the cooling load, requiring higher fan speeds to cool down quickly. Overall, the design prioritizes natural light and aesthetics, with insulation not being its strongest feature, so owners should pay attention to daily sun protection measures.
As a P7 owner for over half a year, the heat insulation does feel a bit inadequate during hot weather. When driving in summer, sunlight penetrates the glass roof, causing rapid temperature rise inside the cabin - even my hair feels warm when sitting in the front seats. Although the AC is powerful, I need to keep it at higher settings for comfort during highway driving. I installed an aftermarket sunshade (a simple model bought from Taobao), and it makes a significant cooling difference when pulled down. The glass roof feels pleasant during cooler weather, providing warm and comfortable natural lighting. I recommend parking in shaded areas or pre-cooling the cabin via the APP's remote AC function for better results. New owners shouldn't skimp on this - a sunshade is essential equipment, or the high-temperature experience will be compromised. Overall thermal insulation isn't bad, but requires minor adaptations.
