The Xpeng P5 (Chinese: 小鹏P5; pinyin: Xiǎopéng P5) is a battery-powered compact sedan produced by the Chinese electric car company Xpeng.
History
At Auto Shanghai[1] in April 2021, Xpeng presented the third model of its brand,[1] complementing the offer as a cheaper and smaller alternative to the flagship P7. It took the form of a compact 4-door sedan.[1]
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,[2] 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, characterized by a 15.6-inch diagonal.[3] The vehicle is equipped with a third-generation Xmart OS 3.0 multimedia system with a voice control function.[1]
The P5 is the first mass-produced car in history to be equipped with the advanced LiDAR Technology autonomous driving system.[4] It consists of sensors cooperating with a laser ladar that scans the surroundings of the car at a distance of 150 meters in the range of 150 degrees, including traffic lights, other moving vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists moving nearby.[4] The 32 sensors include two LiDARs, 12 ultrasonic and 5 microwave sensors and 13 high-resolution image processing cameras.[4]
The sale of the P5 is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2021,[1] beginning in the China market. It generated a lot of attention during its premiere. Within 53 hours of its debut, Xpeng collected 10,000 orders for the P5.[5][6] In 2022, they planned to start selling the vehicle also in selected Western European markets, starting with Norway .[7]
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 will be available in both rear-wheel drive and AWD.[8]
