At the IAA Mobility 2025 trade fair in Munich, Xpeng announced that its P7+ saloon would soon be available in France.
September is back-to-school month, but not the only one! For the editors of ECO MOTORS NEWS – and the rest of the ecomobility world – it’s also time to head to Germany for the IAA Mobility show in Munich, to take the pulse of this booming industry.
Chinese carmaker Xpeng decided to unveil its new large saloon – the Xpeng P7+ – for the first time on the Old Continent, in Franz Beckenbauer’s hometown. The premium brand is thus confirming its imminent arrival on the French market, as we predicted in our article on the 5 Chinese electric car models you need to know about.
This XXL saloon (over 5 metres long) is based on the company’s signature SEPA 2.0 platform, which is modular and practical, and whose architecture enables it to accommodate 800-volt batteries. It therefore promises ultra-fast recharging, with a refill from 10% to 80% in around twelve minutes on the highest-performance version. In the age of SUVs and, more generally, 4-wheel drive, the P7+ will only be available with rear-wheel drive. Two versions will be offered, all equipped with lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, with a choice of 60.7 kWh or 76.3 kWh, promising power outputs of 245 and 320 bhp.
In terms of performance, the claimed range (to be taken with a grain of salt) is 715 km CLTC – the Chinese equivalent of the WLTP, which is closer to 585 km. In terms of design, every detail of the car’s aerodynamics has been thought through in order to limit fuel consumption, with a fastback that is particularly striking. The boot capacity, which varies between 725 litres and 2,221 litres with the seats folded, is more than adequate. When it arrives in France, expected before spring 2026, it should be priced between €45,000 and €50,000. Indeed, Xpeng has announced that its price will be similar to that of its G6 SUV, which sells for €47,000 in France. If the P7+ lives up to its promise, it could put the Tesla Model 3 under pressure in the same price segment.
In short, the Xpeng P7+ is an ambitious large electric saloon, combining ultra-fast charging, generous interior space, advanced technology and very attractive value for money in the European segment. Could this finally be the comeback of the saloon? In the meantime, stay tuned for further announcements and news straight from the IAA Mobility Munich show, coming soon to our website.
