In 2021, Volkswagen's achievements in China are indeed inferior to those of previous years, and the models that were once the king models in the market segment, such as Volkswagen Tuon, Langyi, and Passat, have now seen a certain sales decline in the market. Perhaps because of this, Volkswagen has accelerated the replacement of its models, such as Golf, Bora, Lingdu and other Volkswagen models, all ushered in or are about to usher in a replacement. Among them, Volkswagen Lingdu, as a relatively young coupe model under Volkswagen's positioning, has a higher overall appearance and adopts more sporty design, which is another "face value façade" in addition to CC.
In fact, the "face value" in the coupe market also belongs to the Volkswagen Group, that is, the A7 created by audi, a sub-brand of the Volkswagen Group, and there are many people who call this car the "most beautiful coupe". The model we are going to talk about today is also a coupe, its appearance design is more windy than the Audi A7, and the sales volume is also higher than the Audi A7. The name of this car is Xiaopeng P7, an electric vehicle created by its own brand. THE BYD A7 pulls the wind, nearly 4 meters 9 coupe body, has sold 100,000 units, even the "scissor door" has.
To be honest, although the coupe is good-looking, the coupe models that sell better are usually more affordable in terms of pricing, and expensive luxury coupes like the Audi A7 do not have high monthly sales data. In contrast, the Xiaopeng P7, this car won nearly 10,000 monthly sales in March this year, and the cumulative sales of the Xiaopeng P7 have exceeded 100,000 units in the more than a year since its listing. The starting price of xiaopeng P7 is only 239,900, and the top model is only 429,900, compared with the Audi A7L with a price of 459,700 after domestic pricing, Xiaopeng P7 also has a price advantage.
In addition to the price of the people, why is the Xiaopeng P7 selling so high? First of all, the design of Xiaopeng P7 is indeed more special. The front face of the Xiaopeng P7 is embedded with segmented headlights, and the upper part of the headlights have penetrating elements, stretching the visual width of the vehicle, and below is the smaller size of the light group. The side can see the coupe-style body structure, with hidden door handles, so that it has both a sense of technology and a sporty atmosphere. And the door of the Xiaopeng P7 is a Peng wing door, this "scissor door" design is indeed more wind than the Audi A7, and many supercar doors are similar.
Secondly, the interior design of Xiaopeng P7 is also more pleasing to young people. The entire cockpit is biased towards simplicity and sci-fi, and the central control area is mainly composed of a 10.25-inch LCD instrument screen and a 14.96-inch LCD central control screen, and there are not too many physical buttons. Down you can see the air outlet of the through-type air conditioner, and the air outlet is hidden processing, as far as possible into the center console, not carefully looking is not easy to find, it is more concise. At the same time, the car is equipped with a sound system from Dana, the seat material is Nappa leather, with a rich sound insulation material, when listening to music in the car, it seems to be in the theater.
Then let's look at the intelligent function of Xiaopeng P7. Xiaopeng P7 is based on sepa platform, with Xmart OS vehicle intelligent system, built-in small P voice assistant, not only can recognize some of our commonly used speech recognition commands, but also support sound source positioning function. For example, when the main driver enters the navigation destination, the co-pilot passenger can also ask how the weather is today, and the Xiaopeng P7 will recognize different voice commands according to the different commands of different users in the car, make corresponding answers, and do not interfere with the driver's driving as much as possible. In the car of Xiaopeng P7, if there is a microphone, the car of Xiaopeng P7 can also become mobile karaoke, and when the whole family travels, the family can participate in the activity of K song.
In terms of intelligent driving, Xiaopeng P7 is equipped with XPILOT 3.0 intelligent driving assistance system, which covers all kinds of driving assistance functions that we commonly have, and has some unique functions. For example, the car's intelligent auxiliary driving system is equivalent to a driving assistant in the whole car, which can assist the owner to control the speed when recognizing speeding, and maintain the speed of Xiaopeng P7 in a safe range as much as possible. Xiaopeng P7 can also assist in lane change, when the road surface is solid, the driver assistance system of Xiaopeng P7 will prompt the owner not to press the line. The car also has a parking memory parking function, when finding a suitable parking space, Xiaopeng P7 will learn from the main learning according to the previous parking situation, after continuous learning, the system will automatically select the optimal path for parking. It is precisely for this reason that the Xiaopeng P7 can become the first five-star model in the i-VISTA intelligent car index industry of China Automobile Research Institute, compared with the Audi A7, and Tesla Model 3 and other models, the intelligent technology functions of the Xiaopeng P7 are significantly ahead.
Finally, let's look at the performance and endurance of the Xiaopeng P7. In fact, the performance of most coupes is not particularly strong, but the Xiaopeng P7 as an electric vehicle, its performance is relatively strong. Under the premise that the Xiaopeng P7 has a 4880kmm length and a wheelbase of 2998mm, the Xiaopeng P7 is equipped with a dual motor with a maximum total power of 316kW, which can complete the zero hundred acceleration in 4.3 seconds. Moreover, the maximum endurance of the Xiaopeng P7 is 706km, and among electric vehicles, the Xiaopeng P7 is already a model with a relatively long endurance. In addition, Xiaopeng P7 has also received a five-star evaluation of C-NCAP safety crash test, and the safety is also very high.
In this way, Xiaopeng P7 is indeed a car with strong comprehensive strength, and its overall competitiveness is better in the automobile market, which is worthy of its own pricing. In the entire new energy vehicle market, Xiaopeng P7 is actually the first pure electric new force model to achieve 100,000 off-line, which also allows Xiaopeng Automobile to have a relatively stable market recognition in the new car manufacturing force. Through the Xiaopeng P7 and even Xiaopeng Automobile, we can find that today's new energy vehicles are rising, and the new energy vehicle market may also become a track for independent cars to show their skills, Xiaopeng Automobile has achieved "curve overtaking" for audi A7 with Xiaopeng P7.
