XPeng P7i (E28a)

The XPeng P7i is the refreshed version of the XPeng P7 for 2023. The facelift features the second generation XNGP XPeng intelligent driving assist system also found in the G9, which adds two LiDAR sensors, and two Nvidia Orin X chips replace the Xavier chips found in the original P7, providing up to 508TOPS of calculation ability compared to the previous system's 30TOPS. This allows for the introduction of two self driving modes, the first of which is called 'City NGP' which is a fully self driving system that relies on high-definition mapping, and was initially only available in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen at launch. The second system is called 'LCC' and works as a lane-centering cruise control which can obey traffic signals and cross intersections, but is not capable of making turns; it is usable in all parts of China. An update in the second half of 2023 allowed the 'City NGP' mode to function without high-definition maps, allowing for use anywhere in China.

The powertrain received an update, with rear wheel drive models now producing and of torque, while Performance variants add a front induction motor for all-wheel drive and now produce a combined total of and of torque with an improved time of 3.9 seconds. These output increases were achieved by increasing the cooling capacity by 89% while retaining the same motors, allowing for sustained travel at for up to 30 minutes without overheating, and 15% higher range in cold-weather conditions according to XPeng. CLTC range for rear-wheel drive models is and for Performance models.

It is shorter than the P7 due to revised rear body panels and taillight changes, but all other dimensions remain the same. The interior features several materials upgrades, including Nappa leather seats and a redesigned steering wheel and lower dashboard; additionally, the chipset running the dashboard screens has been upgraded to the Snapdragon SA8155P. A heat pump now comes standard, along with an electric motorized door option and an external trunk release. There is now an available twenty-speaker Dynaudio sound system with Dolby Atmos software.
