Conclusion## Small Xpeng P5 bridge between P7 and G3
Xpeng P5, which targets the A+ market with the combination of intelligence and space utility, has been a brave move since it is the third model offered by Xpeng. The model continues Xpeng’s advantages in AI, car systems, and assisted driving, and the performance of the mileage range is also not bad among comparable electric cars.
However, objectively speaking, P5 still has some deficiencies in terms of chassis and appearance as it continues to use the old platform of G3. It does not match up to competitors like ID.3 in terms of mechanical performance.
Before the release of the price, Xpeng P5 has already released multiple rounds of information. The price range of 157,900 to 223,900 yuan has covered the gap between P7 and G3, and we welcome your thoughts on this price in the comment section.
