Xpeng EREV Updates for P7+, G6, G7 and G9 Launch 2026 Cycle

On 9 January 2026, Xpeng EREV updates officially marked the beginning of the company’s 2026 product cycle as the Chinese electric vehicle maker unveiled refreshed versions of the P7+, G6, G7, and G9. These updates reinforce Xpeng’s push to broaden its powertrain and technology portfolio across multiple segments.
Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV, HKG: 9868) revealed the four models at a launch event in Guangzhou, bringing one sedan and three SUVs into the new model year lineup. The updated range includes the P7+ sedan alongside the G6, G7, and G9 sport utility vehicles, all positioned to carry forward the brand’s evolving product strategy.
Xpeng EREV Updates Drive a Dual-Powertrain Strategy
A key highlight of the latest releases is the addition of extended-range electric vehicle technology. Under the new Xpeng EREV updates, the P7+ and G7 are now offered with EREV variants, allowing customers to choose between pure battery-electric and extended-range configurations.
This dual-powertrain approach is designed to:

• Support drivers who need longer operating range

• Reduce dependence on charging infrastructure in some regions

• Expand the appeal of Xpeng vehicles across different use cases

By offering both powertrain types within the same model family, Xpeng aims to make its lineup more flexible for a wider customer base.
Four-Model Refresh Sets the Tone for 2026
The updated lineup features:

• P7+ sedan with new EREV availability

• G6 SUV with refreshed specifications

• G7 SUV now also offered in EREV form

• G9 SUV continuing as the flagship electric SUV

Together, these vehicles form the opening wave of Xpeng’s 2026 cycle, establishing a platform that blends electrification with extended-range capability.
Technology and Product Direction
Alongside powertrain changes, Xpeng also introduced paid smart driving upgrades across all four models, signaling a shift toward software-enabled revenue streams. This move allows customers to access enhanced driver-assistance and intelligent driving features through optional upgrades rather than standard hardware packages.
The combination of electrification, extended-range options, and monetized software functions reflects how Xpeng is positioning its vehicles for both technological differentiation and long-term profitability.
With the launch of the refreshed P7+, G6, G7, and G9, Xpeng has clearly defined the starting point of its 2026 product roadmap, using EREV technology and smart driving services to expand its reach in China’s highly competitive electric vehicle market.
