2026 Xpeng P7+ and G7 debut with second‑generation VLA intelligent driving system
Xpeng Motors has officially announced that the 2026 Xpeng P7+ and the 2026 Xpeng G7 will launch with the company's new second‑generation VLA intelligent driving platform. The system is powered by Xpeng's self‑developed Turing AI chip, delivering up to 2250 TOPS of effective computing performance. According to the company, model‑inference efficiency has increased twelvefold, and the overall parameter scale is now ten times larger than mainstream industry solutions.
Compared with the first‑generation VLA, the upgraded system offers faster response times and a 30 percent improvement in recognizing complex road conditions and predicting dynamic obstacles. When paired with Xpeng's XNGP full‑scenario driving suite, the vehicles can support intelligent navigation across both city streets and highways.
Beyond the software upgrades, the 2026 P7+ also receives a refreshed exterior. The sedan adopts a new technology‑driven design language featuring an integrated Starwing light bar, a Star‑Trail through‑type taillight, a floating interstellar‑style roof, and a dual‑layer rear wing. Additional features include an active AGS grille and 20‑inch sport wheels.
Inside, the P7+ is equipped with an 8.8‑inch digital instrument cluster and a 29‑inch full‑scenario HUD display. The cabin integrates hidden air‑conditioning vents and introduces upgraded Starfall ambient lighting with 256‑color adjustment.
The 2026 Xpeng G7 Super Extended Range Edition adds a new exterior color called Twilight Purple. It also features a full‑width light bar and 20‑inch sport wheels. The interior includes a zero‑gravity passenger seat and more than twenty premium comfort features across the cabin.
The G7 is positioned as an SUV and offers a pure‑electric driving range of 430 km (about 267 miles). Real‑world CLTC combined range reaches 1768 km (about 1,099 miles), placing it among the leaders in its class. The vehicle supports 800V + 5C ultra‑fast charging, enabling a recharge of 314 km (about 195 miles) of range in just 12 minutes. It also comes standard with ENC + RNC dual active noise‑reduction technology, with sound‑absorbing materials covering 90 percent of key areas to maintain a quiet cabin in 99 percent of driving scenarios.
Xpeng Motors, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou, is one of China's leading smart‑electric vehicle manufacturers. The company focuses on in‑house development of intelligent driving systems, EV platforms, and advanced battery technologies. Xpeng operates multiple R&D centers across China and the United States, and its lineup includes sedans and SUVs designed around software‑defined vehicle architecture. With continuous investment in autonomous driving and high‑voltage fast‑charging systems, Xpeng aims to compete globally in the premium EV segment.
