Xpeng is adding a sleek new member to its lineup with the G7, an electric SUV that’s turning heads with its attractive design and competitive pricing. Officially previewed through photos and details released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the G7 slots neatly between the G6 and G9 in Xpeng’s SUV family. The model is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2025.
Dimensions and Design: Sleek and Streamlined
The Xpeng G7 measures 4,892 mm (192.5 inches) in length, 1,925 mm (75.7 inches) in width, and 1,655 mm (65.1 inches) in height, with a 2,890 mm (113.7 inches) wheelbase. Despite being 1 mm longer than the G9, it features a shorter wheelbase and a significantly lower stance, giving it a sportier, streamlined look.
Exterior Highlights
- Front End: Slim LED DRLs and a signature light bar define the front fascia, echoing the design language seen across Xpeng’s lineup, including the P7+. The body-colored front replaces a traditional grille, with gloss black accents and functional air vents for aerodynamic efficiency.
- Profile: The G7 boasts a low roofline and sleek, coupe-like proportions reminiscent of the Kia EV6. This combination of sedan and crossover influences makes it stand out in the crowded EV SUV market.
- Rear Design: Sharp LED taillights, a connecting light bar, a roof-mounted spoiler, and a contrasting black bumper complete the rear’s sporty aesthetic.

Battery and Performance
While detailed powertrain specifications are yet to be confirmed, reports indicate the G7 will be available in two variants, both powered by CALB lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The vehicle’s weight will range from 2,085 kg (4,596 lbs) to 2,160 kg (4,761 lbs) depending on the configuration.
Pricing and Market Position
Xpeng is known for its affordable yet feature-rich electric vehicles, and the G7 continues this trend. According to CarNewsChina, prices are expected to start at 200,000 yuan (~$27,300), positioning the G7 as a compelling option for buyers seeking style, technology, and affordability in an EV SUV.
Competitive Edge
The G7’s design and pricing set it apart from its competitors, offering a blend of premium looks and practicality at a lower price point. Its size and positioning make it a strong rival to models like the Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6, especially in China’s fast-growing EV market.
With the G7, Xpeng is aiming to strengthen its presence in the global electric vehicle space, offering another example of how Chinese automakers are leading the charge in EV innovation and affordability.
