Xpeng presents the G7 EREV in China, a hybrid SUV with extended range
The Chinese firm Xpeng introduces a new model to its lineup, the G7 EREV. This is an SUV that combines a combustion engine with an electric propulsion system, a technology designed to extend its range without the need for constant plugging in. With this proposal, the brand aims to capture a highly sought-after market niche, focusing on optimizing energy efficiency and offering a spacious cabin. 🚗
Technical specifications and launch price
According to official data, the G7 EREV can travel up to 200 kilometers using only its electric battery. When this is depleted, a 1.5-liter gasoline engine comes into play, but not to directly drive the wheels, rather to act as a generator and recharge the battery pack. The initial cost to acquire it in China starts at 209,900 yuan, which equates to about 27,000 euros at the current exchange rate.
Key features of the G7 EREV:- Electric range: Up to 200 km in exclusively electric mode.
- Propulsion system: EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) technology with 1.5L generator engine.
- Market entry point: Base price set at 209,900 yuan.
Xpeng's EREV technology promises to eliminate range anxiety, although it poses a new decision for the driver: prioritize plugging in the vehicle or refueling with fuel?
Exterior design and interior equipment
The G7 design follows Xpeng's contemporary aesthetic, inheriting the language of fluid lines and a distinctive front seen in models like the G6. Inside, passengers will find a dashboard dominated by digital screens. It is anticipated that the driver's instrument cluster and a large central touchscreen will be standard features.
Highlights of the cabin and technology:- Screens: Combination of digital display for the driver and large central touchscreen.
