2 Answers
Xpeng P7's autonomous driving level is L3. Below are the specific details about the Xpeng P7: Vehicle Positioning: The P7 is a pure electric mid-size car with a wheelbase of 2998mm, and its length, width, and height are 4880mm, 1896mm, and 1450mm respectively. Powertrain: The P7 comes in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The rear-wheel drive version is a single-motor model, while the all-wheel drive version is a dual-motor model. The single-motor version has a maximum power of 196kW and a maximum torque of 390Nm. The dual-motor version has a total power of 316kW and a total torque of 655Nm. Suspension Type: The P7 uses a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
The Xiaopeng P7's autonomous driving level is L2+, which means it offers advanced driver assistance features but cannot fully replace human control. In my experience, this XPILOT system includes adaptive cruise control that automatically adjusts speed to follow vehicles, as well as lane keeping and automatic parking, making driving easier, especially on highways or in traffic jams. The system operates through multi-sensor fusion, such as cameras and radars, to analyze road conditions in real-time, but drivers must remain attentive at all times and not get distracted or assume they can completely let go. Xiaopeng frequently pushes OTA updates, improving reliability, but the system is prone to errors in rainy weather or complex road conditions. It may upgrade to higher levels in the future, but currently, it's just an assistance tool and cannot allow hands-free driving like L3, which makes long-term use more reassuring.
