History
XPeng P5 rear

At Auto Shanghai[2] in April 2021, XPeng presented the third model of its brand,[2] complementing the offer as a cheaper and smaller alternative to the flagship P7. It took the form of a compact 4-door sedan.[2]

In terms of styling, the P5 developed on the styling concept of the larger P7, distinguishing itself by a gently sloping roof line towards the short, slender ending of the rear part of the body. Headlights made in LED technology were connected by a light strip between them,[3] while the charging port was located in the right front fender.

The passenger compartment is kept in a minimalist design, dominated by a vast vertical multimedia system touch screen located at an angle between the edge of the dashboard and the central tunnel, characterised by a 15.6-inch diagonal.[4] The vehicle is equipped with a third-generation Xmart OS 3.0 multimedia system with a voice control function.[2] The P5 is known for its sleeping/cinema mode, front seats can lie flat to support an air bed along with the rear seat bottom cushions. Optional full-width projection screen, rear centre console mini-fridge, 220 V third party appliances.[5][6]

The P5 is the first mass-produced car in history to be optionally equipped with the advanced LiDAR Technology autonomous driving system.[1] It consists of sensors cooperating with a laser ladar that scans the surroundings of the car at a distance of 150 metres in the range of 150 degrees, including traffic lights, other moving vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists moving nearby.[1] The 32 sensors include two LiDARs, 12 ultrasonic and 5 microwave sensors and 13 high-resolution image processing cameras.[1] With future OTA improvements, the P5 has the hardware capable of L4 Autonomous driving.

Sales of the P5 started in the fourth quarter of 2021,[2] beginning in the Chinese market. It generated a lot of attention during its premiere. Within 53 hours of its debut, XPeng collected 10,000 orders for the P5.[7][8] In 2022, they planned to start selling the vehicle also in selected Western European markets, starting with Norway.[9]

Drivetrain

The fully electric drive system of the P5 has a maximum range of approximately 600 km (370 mi) on a single charge. The car is for now only available in front-wheel drive and maybe later as all-wheel drive.[10]
