The main differences between the 2020 and 2021 XPeng P7 models lie in range and system upgrades. I drove the 2020 version for a while and later test-drove the 2021 model, noticing improved power optimization, smoother acceleration, and more stable handling. The 2021 version's battery capacity hasn't changed much, but software tuning increased the range slightly to about 670 km, with actual usage being about 10% more energy-efficient than the 2020 model. The XPILOT system was upgraded to version 3.5, supporting more advanced driver-assistance features like full-scenario automatic parking and more relaxed hands-free driving on highways. For the interior, the 2021 version features finer materials and better seat support, making two-hour drives less tiring. Price-wise, the 2021 base model is slightly cheaper and comes standard with wireless charging and a larger screen, offering better overall value. In summary, if you frequently drive long distances, the 2021 model's range and smart upgrades are worth it. The older version is still good, but the newer one better suits modern urban driving habits, making it much more hassle-free.
