Following the completion of the G3 and P7 entry-level and mid-to-high-end market positioning models, Xiaopeng will launch a third model. Recently, the latest road test spy photos of the model have also been exposed.

Judging from the spy photos of the new car road test, although the model is designed for a car, it is more similar to Xiaopeng P7 as a whole and can be regarded as "small P7" or named Xiaopeng P5. However, the car is based on Xiaopeng G3 platform, the two have higher commonality.

In appearance, the new car continues the design style of the P7, but does not use the split headlights of the P7, but the shape of the daylight is more complex, for the "X" type, echoing the design concept of Xiaopeng logo.

The side shape is quite different from the P7, but the overall design is not as slender as the P7. At the same time, the model uses the traditional hatchback car shape, the slip back range is small. The tail is better than the package, do not see too much effect, according to the previous effect picture, it is the design of through taillight.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car does not follow the integrated screen design idea of P7. It can be seen that the new car uses a suspended vertical central control display screen, and the overall shape is closer to Xiaopeng G3. In addition, never a perfect installation, the line is still exposed to the state, the whole is not as luxurious as the P7.

However, according to previous official introduction, the car will become the world's first mass-produced smart car equipped with lidar, using Xiaopeng customized Livox specification-level lidar.

According to the current pricing of the Xiaopeng G3, it means that this model may become an entry-level Xiaopeng sedan, with a price expected to be around 160000. In addition, the lithium iron phosphate version launched by Xiaopeng P7 did not go down to less than 200000, perhaps to "make way" for Xiaopeng P5. The new car is expected to be released in April and go on sale in the fourth quarter.

With the launch of the Xiaopeng P7, it has now become the main selling model, surpassing the Xiaopeng G3, which has focused on the lower end of the market since its launch. However, with the launch of more and more brand models, the model may have a bottleneck, and Xiaopeng will usher in a third entry-level model to segment the low-end market with the Xiaopeng G3, with better products to help the brand achieve sales growth.

Data show that Xiaopeng delivered a total of 2223 vehicles in February 2021, down 63.04% from the previous month. Among them, the main model Xiaopeng P7 delivered 1409, accounting for 63.4%. In response, Xiaopeng Motor responded: "because the first quarter is the off-season of car sales, coupled with the Spring Festival holiday did not arrange delivery."
