A LITTLE-known car brand is preparing to launch an AI-powered luxury saloon to rival the mighty Porsche Taycan.<\/p>\n

Chinese EV manufacturer Xpeng has unveiled the latest iteration of its P7 sports saloon that they\u2019ve branded “more than a car\u201d.<\/p>\n

Said to be Xpeng’s answer to “the AI [artificial intelligence] era in form and function\u201d, the company has identified itself as an “AI-driven mobility company\u201d.<\/p>\n

Indeed, they\u2019re positioning the new flagship P7 as a showcase for how AI can redefine the luxury<\/a> car experience.<\/p>\n

Details at this stage are scarce, but the previous P7 was described as “the world’s first AI-defined vehicle\u201d and included highly advanced autonomous driving<\/a> functions, as well as a ‘smart cockpit’ that included a Knight Rider-style voice assistant.<\/p>\n

The next-gen model is expected to build on this, as well as introduce even more advanced capabilities.<\/p>\n

Their ultimate aim is to stand out in China<\/a>‘s increasingly crowded luxury saloon market – with the likes of the Avatr 12, Nio<\/a> ET9 and Luxeed S7 all hoping to be big sellers.<\/p>\n

Regarding the upcoming P7\u2019s new styling, Xpeng\u2019s Exterior Design Director Rafik Ferrag told Autocar<\/a>: “With this new generation, we set out to design a pure-electric sports sedan that could amaze at every angle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis car is our dream \u2013 refined through countless iterations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my eyes, the all-new Xpeng P7 is a work of art, shaped with emotion and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently unknown if the P7 will be sold outside of China – with more details to follow.<\/p>\n

For now, the Porsche<\/a> Taycan remains the industry leader when it comes to luxury, performance all-electric saloons.<\/p>\n

While sales have dipped in recent times, the Taycan remains a highly sought-after electric sports car ahead of the likes of the Lucid Air, Tesla<\/a> Model S, BMW<\/a> i4, and Audi<\/a> e-tron GT.<\/p>\n

One other Chinese brand that’s got Porsche in its sights is Denza – headed by motoring giant BYD.<\/p>\n

The ever-expanding car brand is one of the largest private companies in China and has already started to make waves globally – including in the UK. <\/p>\n

But for those seeking something with more speed and\u00a0luxury, their sister brand Denza and their first car in its line-up \u2013 the stunning Z9 GT – might appeal. <\/p>\n

Clearly borrowing design cues from the Taycan and Panamera, the grand tourer – with its shooting brake estate styling – was unveiled at the recent Milan Design Week ahead of its European market release later this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A LITTLE-known car brand is preparing to launch an AI-powered luxury saloon to rival the mighty Porsche Taycan.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133073,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,1395,296,209,2185,297,2374,53,298,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-133072","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-china","11":"tag-electric-cars","12":"tag-longtail","13":"tag-porsche","14":"tag-road-laws","15":"tag-section-motorsnews-motors","16":"tag-technology","17":"tag-tesla","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114573799889070965","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
