Positioned as a family-friendly model to popularize EVs, the P5
boasts cutting edge technology and compelling value in its class
with superior user-centric and intuitive in-car features. With
XPeng’s proprietary XPILOT 3.5 system powering smart driving, and
latest Xmart OS 3.0 delivering smart interaction, the P5 presents a
game-changing new vision for smart EVs.
“The P5 brings a new level in sophistication and technological
advancement for smart EVs,” said He Xiaopeng, Chairman & CEO of
XPeng. “Each new XPeng model aims for a new high in technology, and
the P5 is our most advanced and technically ambitious model yet.
Our homegrown technology, distinctive design language and user
experience philosophy, all reflect XPeng’s drive to grow from its
Chinese roots to realize its global vision of leading the world’s
Smart EV market.”
Market-leading architecture, groundbreaking
functionality
The new XPILOT 3.5 architecture is the strongest autonomous
driving system in production cars. The new architecture comprises
32 perception sensors (including 2 LiDAR units, 12 ultrasonic
sensors, 5 millimeter-wave radars, and 13 high-resolution cameras)
and 1 high-precision positioning unit (GNSS + IMU), integrated into
360° dual-perception fusion to provide sufficient redundancy across
the perception sensors to handle challenging and complex road
conditions.
The P5’s double-prism LiDAR units are capable to distinguish
pedestrians, cyclists and scooters, static obstacles, and road
works, in challenging scenarios such as night and low-light
conditions, backlighting, and alternating light and dark
illumination in tunnels.
Extending the Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) function from
highways to city diving, the P5 will be able to handle situations
such as cutting-in, automatic follow and speed limit optimization
on urban roads, recognizing traffic lights as well as small
objects.
Smart cockpit, superlative interaction
The P5’s Xmart OS 3.0 – XPeng’s latest in-car operation system
and a standard P5 spec - creates an advanced digital cockpit to
deliver next-generation user-vehicle interaction. The powerful
Xmart OS 3.0 platform supports full-scenario all-voice interaction,
answering complex needs of driver-vehicle and passenger-vehicle
interaction with one simple solution: Voice for Everything.
The P5 is the first vehicle in its class to deploy Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon flagship SA8155P auto-grade computing platform, 3 times
more powerful than the previous generation. It ensures seamless
user control and interaction to assist, inform, and entertain
driver and passengers.
For full driver utility and control, the instrument console
includes a 15.6-inch large-size screen with all essential
information and controls right where the driver needs them. Xmart
OS 3.0 also allows vehicle-to-home connection for maximum
convenience.
The P5’s smart interaction suite also includes a remote
Bluetooth key with robust security specifications. A fully-stocked
ecosystem of in-house and third-party applications and software
packages allow for rich user-created content and many usage
options.
Stylish and Spacious
With a length of 4808mm and wheel base of 2768mm, the P5’s
technological superiority empowers superlative styling and complete
convenience inside and out, with XPeng’s distinctive design
language.
On the outside, the P5’s sleek aerodynamic profile is
complemented by a neat fastback with unobtrusive ducktail. The
X-shaped headlights and taillights echo the XPeng logo, epitomizing
the brand’s “X-volving” lighting language. Its 1.493 sqm
transparent panoramic canopy glass roof offers uninterrupted views,
and sets off the elegance of its profile.
On the inside, the P5’s passenger compartment presents an
immersive aesthetic space. Spacious and comfortable, the
well-upholstered interior can be reconfigured as a private
full-width movie theater for user enjoyment, or put into sleep mode
as a full-length sleeping compartment, for ultimate comfort. Extra
touches such as a built-in fridge, and air freshness and fragrance
control, further enhance the P5’s role as a mobile extension of our
users' home or desk.
Full presentation at Shanghai Auto Show
The P5 will be featured at Auto Shanghai 2021 on April 19th,
2021 with more details of its specifications, performance, pricing
and availability.
