Issued by the China Automotive Technology Research Center,
C-NCAP aims to provide rigorous and comprehensive vehicle safety
tests in terms of occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and
active safety. C-NCAP testing for active safety includes autonomous
emergency braking (AEB) systems, AEB testing for car-to-car rear
collisions (AEB CCR), and AEB testing for pedestrians (AEB VRU
Ped). In all these areas, the P7’s high-performance systems
contributed strongly, enabling the final 98.51% aggregate score,
and reflecting the P7’s market-leading technology.
The XPeng P7 also achieved a 92.61% occupant protection score in
the C-NCAP safety test. Within this occupant protection score, the
P7 achieved a 91.99% score on frontal 40% collision testing, and a
100% score on side impact tests. This reflects XPeng’s achievements
in attaining a high standard of mechanical engineering in its
vehicles, to match their cutting-edge autonomous driving
systems.
The P7 has gone through 2 years of optimization totaling 40,000
hours. In the most stringent offset collision conditions, invasion
to the foot area is controlled within 5mm. For side collisions, the
B-pillar uses double hot-formed steel plates with 67mm maximum
intrusion, equivalent to only half of the intrusion of most models
(120mm). The P7 electric drive system adopts a rear-end
arrangement, and the entire front engine room is a huge crumple
space, with an energy-absorbing space of 1223 mm, 2.4 times that of
a fuel vehicle. In a frontal collision, the peak deceleration is
reduced from 42g to 25g, a 41% reduction compared with that of a
fuel vehicle. The entire collision elapsed time is extended from
63ms to 80ms, an increase of 26%, greatly reducing chest and head
injuries for occupants.
Ultra-high-strength steel comprises of 16% of the P7’s body
structure with thermoformed steel accounting for 13%. A large
number of parts are thermoformed to build a 360-degree protection
thermoformed surrounding body. The use rate of thermoforming
materials is twice that of most models, and the number of
components used in thermoforming materials is 1.5 times that of
luxury models.
Earlier in July, the P7 also became the first to receive the
5-star rating from the i-VISTA (Intelligent Vehicle Integrated
Systems Test Area) intelligent vehicle testing platform in China.
The P7 achieved four “Excellent” ratings from i-VISTA in smart
driving, smart safety, smart interaction, and smart energy
efficiency. It also obtained “Excellent” ratings in lane change
assist, AEB emergency braking, LDW lane departure warning, as well
as in smoothness and richness of touchscreen and voice
interaction.
