As of February 2021, listing images of an updated version of the P7 powered by lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) surfaced. The lithium iron phosphate battery powered models share the same design and features of the regular Ternary lithium battery models and is powered by a 80 kW (107 hp; 109 PS) electric motor with the maximum output of 196 kW (263 hp; 266 PS).[10]

The XPeng P7i is the facelift model of the XPeng P7 for 2023. The facelift features the second generation XNGP XPeng intelligent driving assist technology with two additional radars and the Orin-X chips replacing the Xavier chips of the previous P7, providing up to 508TOPS of calculation ability compared to the previous 30TOPS. The powertrain also received an update with the rear wheel drive models now producing 203 kW and 440N·m while the all wheel drive variants now produces 348 kW and 757N·m with the 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds.[11]

XPeng P7 is equipped with an adaptive cruise control system. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) system is a safety system designed for avoiding collisions by collecting environmental data from vehicle sensors to control the velocity of vehicles. According to data in 2020, this system had been used for driving for 25.1 million km (15.6 million mi), which the using rate of ACC is 66%.[16]

XPeng P7 has many sensors, radars and cameras for 360-degree environment detection. After the process of data collection, Nvidia Drive AGX Xavier, which is the central high-performance computer equipped in P7, would utilize and calculate data to perform P7's Xmart OS functions, such as automated driving and valet parking.[17]

XPeng P7's XPILOT 3.0 is an autonomous driving assistance system that features XPeng Navigation Guided Pilot (XNGP). According to the data offered by Marie Cheung, it has:

• 31 autonomous driving sensors;
• 12 ultrasonic sensors;
• 10 autonomous driving high-sensitivity cameras and sub-systems;
• 5 high-precision millimeter wave radars;
• 4 autonomous driving surround-view cameras.

These equipments give XPeng P7 omnidirectional perception to supervise the changes of the surrounding environment.[18]
