Xpeng P7 - Bjorn Nayland's test. WLTP fake but good performance [video]

Bjorn Nyland was the first observer in Europe to personally test the Xpeng P7, a Chinese electric vehicle capable of rivaling the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. Result? Despite the wet surface, the car performed slightly worse than the Tesla Model 3 Performance, according to YouTuber.

Xpeng P7 - neat and quite productive

The Xpeng P7 ridden by Bjorn Nyland is the Xpeng P7 Performance, the most powerful version with the largest battery and probably drive on both axles. After charging to 90 percent, the car shows 430 WLTP units, which corresponds to approximately 408 kilometers of real range in the range of 100-0 percent in mixed mode [calculated by www.elektrowoz.pl].

For a range of 10–90 percent, this would be 327 kilometers.

Tests were carried out on a damp surface, which increases wear by about 10 percent. This is due to the increasing contact surface of the tire with the ground, which makes it difficult to ride.

The Xpenga P7 Performance weighs 2,16 tonnes with driver.

The car was put into Eco mode as it consumed almost 23 kWh / 100 km (230 Wh / km, see illustration below) during normal driving and acceleration tests.

The values ​​shown on the counters may remind us of earlier messages from the manufacturer: stretched out... After driving 122 kilometers, the car used 184 kilometers of range, which means that projected coverage was overestimated by 50 percent. Such a dispersion can be justified in winter, but it is difficult to protect it in summer - even with heavy rainfall:

Nyland's final calculations show that the car smashed 357 WLTP units (Nyland calls them "kilometers" according to the official nomenclature), but the odometer read 246,3 kilometers. Taking into account the distortion of the numerator, we obtain 1,43 WLTP units per true kilometer of range.

Thus, with a fully charged battery, the range of the vehicle should be only 334 km.... Let's add: in mixed weather and on wet roads. It means actual consumption 21 kWh / 100 km (210 Wh / km) with your own driving style.

Nyland calculated that his Tesla Model 3 would require 20-21 kWh / 100 km (200-210 Wh / km) under the same conditions, so the Xpeng P7 looks a little worse. By the way, youtuber also calculated that The battery capacity of the Xpenga P7 is 70-72 (81) kWh..

Worth seeing, including tomorrow's normal-sized issue:
