Similar to the G3, P7 takes smart capability as the most prominent differentiation advantage, it also improves human-vehicle interaction and high-level intelligent assisted driving. The P7 will be equipped with a powerful self-driving system-level chip, Nvidia DRIVE Xavier, which means the P7's hardware base is strong enough to support L3 autonomous driving.

With the delivery of the G3, XPeng Motors is rapidly rolling out its entire ecosystem of mobility operations around its users. In terms of products, the XPeng G3 has undergone two OTA upgrades since its launch, based on existing user data and feedback. 40 new capabilities were added for the XPILOT 2.5 intelligent driving system, XPILOT 2.5 multi-scene automatic parking system, and Xmart OS onboard operating system, and 83 functional experiences were optimized.

In addition, six cities of XPeng service centers in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing and Dongguan opened simultaneously on March 26.
On the basis of the original "experience center", the delivery and after-sales function modules are added, which can provide users with one-stop service scenarios of car purchase and vehicle use, including integrated experience display, delivery service and intelligent after-sales service.
XPeng has operated 20 offline outlets up to now and will reach the scale of more than 100 by the end of the year. And it plans to set up 34 service centers in 34 cities in 2019 to expand the scope of after-sales services.
