MEET THE XPENG P5: WORLD'S FIRST PRODUCTION EV WITH LIDAR

EV Channels Review

The Xpeng P5 marks a significant milestone as the world's first production EV to feature LIDAR, integrating this advanced sensor technology into the fender for a more seamless design. While the reviewer highlights the P5's spacious interior, mature cabin design with quality materials, and impressive legroom, the car's primary appeal lies in its technological advancements and value proposition. The P5 offers X Pilot 3.5, enabling more advanced autonomous driving capabilities, including upcoming City NGP. Handling is described as competent with responsive steering, possibly superior to the P7 in feel, though not as sporty. The reviewer notes the 600P trim's NEDC range of 600km and a 0-100km/h time of 7.5 seconds. Charging speed is considered average, with 30-80% taking 38 minutes. Key optional features like a projector and a rear-seat fridge are mentioned. Despite its premium features and advanced tech, the P5 is positioned as offering excellent value, especially considering its groundbreaking LIDAR integration, with prices starting at 160,000 RMB.
