- G7 is the first model to feature Xpeng's Turing AI chip, with a pre-sales price of RMB 235,800 ($32,810).
- G7 showroom vehicles are now available at Xpeng's 530 stores across 214 cities in China.
Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) G7 appears to have seen strong initial acceptance following the debut and the start of pre-sales for the SUV (sport utility vehicle).
G7 received over 10,000 pre-orders within 46 minutes of opening pre-orders, Xpeng announced shortly after the G7's debut event last night.
Currently, G7's display vehicles are available at 530 stores across 214 cities in China, the company said on Weibo today.
G7 is a mid-size SUV with dimensions of 4,892 mm in length, 1,925 mm in width, and 1,655 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,890 mm.
The SUV's pre-sales price is RMB 235,800 ($32,810), positioning it between the G6 SUV and Xpeng's flagship SUV, G9.
G6 currently has a starting price range of RMB 176,800 to RMB 198,800 in China, while G9 ranges from RMB 248,800 to RMB 278,800.
G7 offers Max and Ultra variants, both built on an 800-volt high-voltage architecture. They come standard with a battery pack supporting 5C fast charging and both offer a CLTC range of 702 kilometers.
The main difference between the two variants lies in the smart driving chips: the Max variant uses two Nvidia Orin X chips, while the Ultra variant employs three Xpeng-developed Turing AI chips.
The G7 is the first model to use the Turing AI chip, with Xpeng claiming that a single chip has the computing power equivalent to three mainstream smart driving chips.
The G7 Ultra has an effective computing power of over 2,200 TOPS, making it the world's first AI car to achieve L3 computing power, Xpeng announced yesterday.
Another highlight of the G7 is that it is also the first model to feature the HUD (head-up display) system co-developed by Xpeng and Huawei.
