Xpeng 2026 Product Cycle Update: P7+, G6, G7, G9 Get Major Tech Boost

the Xpeng 2026 product cycle update marked the start of the company’s new model-year rollout, with refreshed versions of four vehicles introduced at a launch event in Guangzhou. The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer unveiled updates for the P7+ sedan along with the G6, G7, and G9 SUVs, reinforcing its dual-powertrain and smart driving strategy for the coming year.
Expanded Powertrain Strategy with EREV Options
A major highlight of the Xpeng 2026 product cycle update is the addition of extended-range electric vehicle options for the P7+ and G7. This move strengthens Xpeng’s dual-powertrain approach by offering both battery electric and extended-range variants across key segments.
The company also reintroduced paid smart driving packages across all four models, reviving a practice discontinued four years ago. Buyers can now choose enhanced driver assistance features as optional upgrades rather than standard-only offerings.
Smart Driving Hardware and AI Capabilities
Each updated model now comes standard with one in-house Turing AI chip, delivering 750 TOPS of effective computing power. This hardware supports smart driving functions powered by end-to-end large AI models.
Customers can optionally upgrade to:

• Ultra SE package with two Turing AI chips, enabling Xpeng’s VLA 2.0 system and entry-level Level 4 driving capability
• Ultra package featuring three Turing AI chips, supporting VLA 2.0 along with additional vision-language model functions

Xpeng plans to roll out the VLA 2.0 software update starting in March, offering an autonomous driving experience approaching Level 4 capability.
P7+ Sedan: Pricing, Range, and Global Expansion
The updated P7+ retains its starting price of RMB 186,800 while adding extended-range variants. Battery electric versions are available in 615 Max and 725 Max trims, delivering CLTC ranges of 615 km and 725 km respectively.
The extended-range versions feature:

• 49.2 kWh battery pack with 430 km electric range
• 45-liter fuel tank
• Combined CLTC range of up to 1,550 km

All variants support 5C fast charging, enabling a 0–80% charge in 12 minutes. The rear-wheel-drive sedan produces 180 kW of peak power and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in as little as 5.9 seconds. Xpeng confirmed the updated P7+ will launch in 36 countries, expanding its global footprint to 60 regions.
G7 SUV Gains Extended-Range Leadership
The G7 now offers extended-range variants delivering a 430 km battery range and a combined driving range of up to 1,704 km with a full tank and charge. Xpeng claims this makes the G7 the longest-range SUV globally.
Battery electric versions continue with 602 Max and 702 Max trims, offering CLTC ranges of 602 km and 702 km. The previous top-tier Ultra variant has been discontinued, simplifying the lineup while maintaining performance and pricing consistency.
G6 and G9 Maintain BEV Focus
The 2026 G6 remains available exclusively as a battery electric model, offering two variants priced unchanged from the previous generation. It delivers a CLTC range of 625 km and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. The model now features Xpeng’s in-house Turing AI chip, replacing the earlier Nvidia-based system.
The flagship G9 also continues as a BEV-only SUV, with three variants delivering CLTC ranges between 625 km and 725 km. The lineup includes rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive options, with the quickest version accelerating to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds.
