Showcased at the 2021 International Automotive Exhibition in
Shanghai today, the P5 family-friendly sedan joins XPeng’s P7
sports sedan and G3 compact SUV to offer a full suite of mobility
solutions to customers in China. The P5 builds on the previous
models not only in its best-in-class autonomous driving
functionality, but also in its third generation tech-enabled smart
cockpit features, envisioning the car as a third living space to
complement home space and work space.
“We persist in exploring because we are convinced that
technology will enrich our lifestyles and bring about a great
mobility transformation,” Chairman and CEO Mr. He Xiaopeng said at
the press conference. “We believe in the future of autonomous
driving, and remain committed to it. Transportation has immense
influence on our daily lives and technology is empowering our life
choices and propelling a fundamental revolution in mobility.”
NGP autonomous driving – from highways to cities
The P5 will bring Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) capabilities to
city roads for the first time in a production vehicle, powered by
XPeng’s full-stack in-house developed autonomous driving system
XPILOT 3.5 – the strongest autonomous driving architecture in its
class. The new architecture comprises 32 perception sensors
(including 2 LiDAR units, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 millimeter-wave
radars, and 13 high-definition cameras) and 1 high-precision
positioning unit (GNSS + IMU), integrated into 360° dual-perception
fusion to handle challenging and complex road conditions.
With its double-prism LiDAR units, the P5 can distinguish
pedestrians, cyclists and scooters, static obstacles, and road
works, and extend the NGP function from highways to city driving,
dealing with cutting-in, automatic following and speed limit
optimization on urban roads, traffic lights and small objects.
“The P5 realizes our vision of navigation-assisted autonomous
driving, aiming to liberate the driver’s concentration and effort
from the drudgery of manual driving,” Chairman He continued. “We
seek to enable autonomous driving in all weathers and in the most
challenging driving conditions.”
Third generation cockpit, third space
This third generation smart EV also brings to customers a 3rd
generation cockpit with a new level of rich and customizable
features – a third space extension to home and office, enabled by
all-voice assistance and powerful connectivity. The P5’s Xmart OS
3.0, the latest generation of XPeng’s in-car operation system,
supports full-scenario all-voice interaction. The P5 is also the
first vehicle in its class to deploy Qualcomm’s Snapdragon flagship
SA8155P auto-grade computing platform, 3 times more powerful than
the previous generation.
The P5’s interior space is the largest among A+ category sedans.
Pioneering the third-generation smart cockpit, the P5 boasts
fully-reclining front seat design, optimizing interior space to
create a comfortable sleep mode. For a private screening
experience, cinema mode is also available through the optional
full-width projection screen, with karaoke and multimedia
entertainment options. Additional comfort and lifestyle features
include a capacious 18L refrigerator, and full 220v power for
accessories and third-party devices.
P5 delivery expected 4Q 2021
XPeng P5 is expected to start delivery in the fourth quarter of
2021 with reservations starting on 19 April. Early bird customers
will be entitled for lifetime free charging and supercharging
services.
The P5 will bring a whole new level of lifestyle experience for
our customers in conjunction with a whole range of new
possibilities in mobility.
Traveler X1 flying vehicle, a future mobility pioneer
Also showcased at the Shanghai Auto Show is the Traveler X1, the
latest innovation in personal manned flying vehicle by the XPeng
Heitech brand. In its eight years of development, the airborne
vehicle technology has already gone through four technical
iterations of three models, accumulating over 15,000 safe manned
flights. It takes XPeng’s commitment to expanding the boundaries of
mobility into a new dimension.
The Traveler X1 is currently intended mainly for scenarios such
as personal aerial flights, emergency rescue, and aerial
sightseeing. Energized by its commitment to innovation and
intelligence-led development, XPeng will continue to explore new
possibilities in mobility, and to expand the range of
transportation possibilities in multiple dimensions.
“Our multi-dimensional approach to innovation demonstrates our
readiness to break the traditional limits of driving and
transportation, and create new solutions,” Chairman He concluded.
“Our new generation of intelligent vehicles and our superlative
intelligent driving architecture are the bases for the next cycle
of innovation, promising even more exciting developments
ahead.”
