Following its unveiling earlier this year, with order books for Chinese domestic sales opening last month, XPeng has now confirmed pricing for its G7 mid-size electric SUV in its domestic market.

Offered across three versions in China - 602 long-range Max, 702 ultra-long-range Max and 702 ultra-long-range Ultra - the single-motor RWD five-seater is priced from ¥195,800 to ¥225,800.

CEO of Australian XPeng distributor, TrueEV, Jason Clarke is already on the record with his desire to see the new model hit Australian showrooms in 2026 as a high-tech companion to the similarly-sized G6.

Using the Chinese domestic to Australian market pricing ratio applied to the G6, that spread translates to a potential Aussie entry-price of around $61,000, before on-road costs, rising to approximately $70,000 for the flagship grade.

That would pitch the G7 into an mid-size EV cage fight against the Cupra Tavascan, Jeep Avenger and Mini Aceman (all from $60,990, before on-road costs) as well as the Tesla Model Y (from $58,900) Kia EV5 (from $61,170), VW ID.4 (from $59,990) and the smash-hit BYD Sealion 7 (from $54,990).

Standard equipment across all grades in China includes four-seat ventilation/heating/massage, Nappa leather seat trim, 18- or 20-inch alloy rims, a 15.6-inch central multimedia screen, a new 87-inch head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, 20-speaker audio and ambient lighting.

XPeng positions the G7 as the world’s first ‘L3-level AI car’ using three in-house developed ‘Turing’ chips, collectively capable of processing ‘2250TOPS’ (2250 Tera Operations Per Second), largely focused on future L4/L5 autonomous driving.

Riding on the same ‘Smart Electric Platform Architecture 2.0’ chassis as its G6 stablemate, the G7 is powered by a 218kW permanent magnet synchronous motor driving the rear wheels only.

The coupe-style G7 is only marginally bigger than the G6 at 4892mm long (+139mm), 1925mm wide (+5.0mm) and 1655mm tall (+5.0mm) with the same 2890mm wheelbase.

Boot volume is generous at 819 litres, expanding to 2277L with a 42L ‘frunk’ in support.

The car features an 800V matrix for fast charging of the standard 68.5kWh LFP battery or larger 80.8kWh unit (using the same chemistry).

Claimed maximum charging capacity in China is a whopping 451kW (350kW is the current maximum rate available in Australia); enough to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 12 minutes.

Minimum energy consumption is quoted as 12.9kWh/100km (CLTC) with claimed range varying between 577km for the standard battery variant and 702km for the larger battery ‘ultra-long-range’ models.

The G7 also features a ‘Taichi AI chassis’ which facilitates self-learning for, among other things, refined road surface reading. This instructs the standard adaptive damping system which forms part of the double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspension set-up.
