Chinese automaker Xpeng has achieved a new milestone in the world of electric vehicles with its new model, the P7. The P7 broke the world record by covering a distance of 3,961 kilometers in a 24-hour endurance test. This record was overtaken by the Xiaomi YU7, which had previously covered 3,944 kilometers.

Xpeng P7 Sets Endurance Test Record

Designed to test long-term performance and charging efficiency, the 24-hour endurance test pushes the vehicle to its limits with high-speed driving and rapid charging sessions. These tests reveal critical performance elements such as battery thermal management and rapid charging and discharging capabilities. The Xpeng P7 also worked tirelessly on this challenging course, continuing its high-speed journey while drivers alternated at the wheel.

The 3,961-kilometer distance achieved by the Xpeng P7 surpassed the 3,944-kilometer performance of the Xiaomi YU7 Max, which had previously undergone the same test. During the test, the YU7 Max completed 30 charging sessions lasting an average of 10-12 minutes while cruising at an average speed of over 210 km/h. The Xpeng P7 appears to have achieved similar performance.

This record was also confirmed by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC). Similar record attempts have been made in the past, including the Porsche Taycan covering 3,425 km in 2019 and the Mercedes-Benz CLA covering 3,717 km in 2024.

The new Xpeng P7, unveiled in China on August 6 and available for pre-order, will make its official debut at the end of the month. The vehicle features an 800V high-voltage architecture platform and an AI-enabled battery with 5C ultra-fast charging support.

Xpeng states that thanks to this technology, the vehicle can achieve a range of 525 kilometers in a 10-minute charge. The maximum range of the vehicle reaches 820 kilometers. Consuming only 12 kWh of energy per 100 kilometers, the P7 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds and its maximum speed is announced as 230 km/h.
