Recently watched the variety show was brainwashed by an advertising slogan that is, "a house, four wheels of Xiaopeng P5" I have been curious about why the advertisement said so, until I accepted the xiaopeng P5 test drive invitation. This car really hits the pain point of the current young people, and the space in the car is played out. Today's article let's talk about the inside and outside of this Xiaopeng P5 car plus the feeling of it driving.
The front design of Xiaopeng P5 is still very radical, angular, in the current era of pure electric vehicles becoming more and more abundant, the front of the car without an intake grille is more and more pleasing to the eye, and the design also gives the designer greater freedom.
The headlights use an LED light source, and continue the P7 through-line design, the through light bar will also flash according to the different states of the vehicle, the entire light source can also use the Say Hi function to greet a very interesting setting.
The Xiaopeng P5 has a length, width and height of 4808/1840/1520mm, and a wheelbase of 2768mm, which is the standard compact sedan size. The styling design of the side of the car is also very beautiful, using a suspended roof and a slippery back shape, coupled with the sharp lines of the front of the car, the overall feeling is still very sporty.
The door handle adopts a hidden design, supports unlocking and automatically raises, and there is also a sense of damping when switching. The tires and hubs of the 215/55 R17 (with 18-inch wheels selected for the test car) are standard throughout the series, and the setting is very family sedan, but the shape of the two-color wheels is still reasonable.
I personally think that the tail design of the Xiaopeng P5 is a bit bland, a little too rounded compared to the front of the car, and the gap with the P7 is even greater. The through-the taillights at the rear of the car are already family-style design styles and echo the shape of the headlights, but this is the only highlight of the P5 rear.
The central control styling of Xiaopeng P5 is very similar to the Xiaopeng G3, using horizontal and vertical lines with the central 15.3-inch vertical screen, as well as the through-type air outlet, the overall design is more decent. However, the car is wrapped in a large area of leather, and the sense of refinement is absolutely OK at this price point, and the steering wheel also uses a perforated leather wrapping to feel excellent.
Xiaopeng P5 is also equipped with heat pump air conditioning, so that it has lower energy consumption for air conditioning heating in extreme weather. In addition, the A pillar on the driver's side is also equipped with face recognition hardware equipment, although it can only monitor driver fatigue now, but there will be more derivative functions with the OTA upgrade in the later stage. Our test car also has a tweeter that can be lifted and lowered, which makes the interior sense of premium and technology upgrade again.
Xiaopeng P5 this car system equipped with Xmart OS 3.0 system overall fluency is quite good, although the screen in the first level page can directly operate the function is good, but in the second level page designed a common interface, the functions inside are quite rich, basically can not click on other secondary pages.
As the most cool place for open systems is these extension applications, it is very cool to use, unlike Tesla's closed system, can only wait for the official OTA upgrade, Xiaopeng has an app store, in addition to the mainstream software such as B station, even the game of Monument Valley has it.
The 12.3-inch dashboard also displays a wealth of content, the left side can be adjusted, the map on the right side can perfectly synchronize the route of the car navigation, and you don't even have to tilt your head to look at the central control screen when navigating. Mobile phone wireless charging is also very convenient, but subject to the influence of the central control screen shape, the position of mobile phone charging is relatively deep, put in it can not see the content displayed on the mobile phone screen.
Xiaopeng P5 can also choose to install a rear refrigerator, the design of the sliding door is full of technology, after opening, there is a shelf that fixes the water bottle, to prevent the bottle from rolling around in the refrigerator, and the space of the refrigerator is much larger than what is visible to the naked eye, and there is still a lot of space behind the back seat.
The seats are highly padded and shaped, the comfort of the ride is also very high, and the front driver's seat can also be equipped with an optional seat ventilation heating package, and the co-pilot only has the heating function to choose from. The flanks of the headrests can be adjusted which is great, and the head doesn't tilt to one side when napping in the driver's seat.
There is also a more advanced configuration in the Xiaopeng P5 car, the car aromatherapy, which is a configuration that traditional brands can only have on the top flagship. Although the position of the aromatherapy body behind the central control screen is somewhat unnatural, the three flavors are also very advanced when the actual use of the fragrance is very advanced.
Xiaopeng P5 said in the previous advertisement that "one house, four wheels" should be the function of this sleeping space, although it needs to be optional, but this brain hole is still very amazing. Just unplug the two headrests of the main passenger car and tap this function on the screen to automatically adjust the seat. After adjusting, you can put on the official mattress and bed, directly turn the cockpit into a double bed, and you can design the smell of aroma and set the alarm clock in sleep mode, which is quite intimate.
Subject to the heavy rain on the day of the test drive, we were not able to personally put this trunk sleep equipment into the car experience, but the whole feeling of watching the official pictures is still very private and warm, and the idea of optional projectors and curtains is really full of Internet thinking. But these also bring a problem, that is, all models of the Xiaopeng P5 can not be put down in the rear seats.
Xiaopeng P5 can also choose a solar roof, this configuration is also very interesting, the maximum charging power can reach 60W, can support the car temperature exceeds 35 ° when the automatic opening of the air conditioning for ventilation, without additional consumption of battery power.
