The P7 is XPeng’s second production model for the Norwegian
market, following the delivery of the G3 smart SUV to customers in
Norway in December 2020. The P7’s advanced intelligence, high
performance and sleek styling have already attracted enthusiastic
recognition in China, winning a devoted following among China’s
most tech-savvy and style-conscious consumers. Following its launch
in China in mid-2020, over 40,000 P7s have been delivered to
Chinese customers as of end July.
“We are dedicated to meeting the growing customer demand for our
smart EVs in China and internationally by bringing the most
sophisticated and stylish models to our customers,” said Mr. He
Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng. “We are seeing smart EVs not
only redefining driver experience with their innovative functions
and differentiated services, but also offering the potential to
fundamentally transform mobility behaviour. We are eager to bring
these advanced capabilities and services to our international
customers in highly localized forms,” Mr. He said.
The localized Norwegian version of the P7 rolled off XPeng’s
production line at its Zhaoqing Smart EV Manufacturing Base in
August. The first Norwegian customers are expected to receive their
P7s in the fourth quarter of 2021. Concurrently, the Company is
accelerating the momentum of its build-out in Norway, establishing
a full-scale Norwegian operation that encompasses customer
experience, sales, delivery, service, charging and lifestyle
facilities.
Commitment to global market build-out
As a leading player in the fast-evolving smart electric vehicle
space, XPeng sees tremendous opportunities and demand for its smart
EVs in global markets. While China remains its base and core
market, XPeng is committed to developing international markets with
a long-term perspective. The rollout of the P7 in Norway represents
the next logical step in this strategy, and vindicates its progress
to date in developing its presence outside China.
The rollout of P7 in Norway also demonstrates XPeng’s leadership
in smart EV penetration into global markets, backed by its robust
financial foundations with dual listings in the US and Hong Kong,
and its full-stack in-house-developed R&D capability.
Tailored for local markets
XPeng’s flagship model, the P7 received the European Community
Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) earlier this year. It offers an
unrivalled combination of elegance, style, comfort and performance,
available in 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) High Performance and Rear-Wheel
Drive (RWD) Super Long Range version for the Norwegian market.
Equipped with a powerful 80 kW·h battery pack, the Norwegian P7
delivers a range of up to 530km (RWD) WLTP. It provides a selection
of features tailored for local conditions, including a CCS charging
port, front seat heating, driver seat ventilation and 4-way lumbar
support power adjustment. The P7’s smart cockpit, with an English
interface and voice assistant, is an exclusive in-cabin space,
offering added passenger comforts for sight, sound and touch. Its
advanced surround sound system from Dynaudio and personalized
wrap-around mood lighting provide further exclusive features. The
P7 has won recognition from major independent quality assessment
organizations, including a 5-star safety rating from C-NCAP, a
5-star rating from China’s i-VISTA (Intelligent Vehicle Integrated
Systems Test Area), and the highest ranking in the midsize BEV
segment in J.D. Power's inaugural China New Energy
Vehicle–Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (NEV-APEAL)
Study, aiming to find the best tech-optimized driving
experience.
Building foundation in world’s leading EV market
Norway’s high level of electric vehicle penetration, public
awareness and acceptance regarding sustainable mobility, and its
advanced nationwide charging infrastructure, make it a natural
springboard for XPeng’s international market build-out.
