XPENG P5

Purchase location:

Hefei

Endurance:

350 kilometers

The reason I bought the XPeng P5 Pro is that I noticed that among cars in the same price range, XPeng's intelligent driving technology is quite good and has obvious advantages over other cars. After comparing multiple models, I finally chose XPeng. Compared with BYD, Deepal, Aion, Geely Galaxy, etc., XPeng's Highway NGP performance is quite impressive. After all, for a car that costs more than ten thousand yuan, it's impossible to be the best in every aspect. It may not be as excellent as other car manufacturers in terms of endurance, interior, and appearance, but it has to have one standout feature. If you want to experience basic intelligent driving, choosing XPeng is definitely the right choice. If you value features such as endurance, appearance, refrigerators, TVs, and big sofas more, you can look elsewhere and consider other models. After all, I bought it for XPeng's LCC and Highway NGP, and I've already safely driven 5000 kilometers on the highway using NGP. If I have the chance in the future, I'll still choose the XPeng P7 700 Winged Door Max version. It's really good - looking.

I picked up the car in Huangpu, Guangzhou on November 6th and drove back to Changsha, arriving in the early morning. The car - pickup procedures were relatively simple, but there were quite a few people coming to pick up their cars, so I had to wait in line. On the 600 - plus - kilometer return journey, I charged the car twice, and the electricity cost was less than 200 yuan. However, I still had a bit of range anxiety. Fortunately, there weren't many vehicles charging at the service areas. We took a rest, had something to eat while the car was charging, so there was no need to wait specifically for charging, and it was still acceptable. The high - speed NGP could be used throughout the journey. It was very high - tech and easy to use. The car accelerated quickly when I stepped on the accelerator and drove steadily. It was much more comfortable than my previous gasoline - powered car. I'm still not used to the low - speed warning sound of the vehicle, and it seems that I can't set it to be cancelled. Also, there were always lane - departure warnings, and it would give an alarm when the car touched the dotted line. The new car had a strong smell, and it was necessary to remove the formaldehyde. The rear - seat space was excellent, which was very suitable for a family with kids. Overall, the driving experience was very comfortable. It was more than enough for commuting. The intelligent car usage had entered a new era compared to the previous gasoline - powered cars.

A novice female driver's first encounter with the new P5
[Appearance]
I'm extremely satisfied. Why? When I was choosing the color at first, I wanted white + cool black. But my dad said white was too common and didn't let me buy it. So I chose silver. Then I searched and found there were very few real - life pictures of the silver model online. I got panicked because I'd already placed the order. I thought I'd just stick it out. Sure enough, when I got the car, the silver color was shiny, not like the dull silver of old men's junk cars. I was over the moon. When I showed it to my mom, she said I'd made the right choice on the color!
[Power performance]
The driving experience is very smooth, and the acceleration is good too. It's just that as a novice, I'm a bit scared that the car might just fly out when accelerating quickly. As a novice driver, I haven't driven other cars either, so I can't say much. Overall, it's quite good!
[Endurance]
Officially, it's said to have a 500 - kilometer range. But in reality, depending on the road conditions, it's only 403 kilometers, which is 80% of the official range. Maybe it's because I've got a lot of things turned on. Anyway, it's enough for me to drive for half a month.
[Charging time]
So far, I've charged the car twice, using a total of 84.3 kWh of electricity. The electricity cost is about 50 yuan. I've installed a charging pile at home. Each time it takes about 7 - 8 hours to charge. I estimate I'll need to charge it about 3 times a month. The total electricity cost will be about 80 yuan. It's much cheaper than a gasoline - powered car every month.
[Intelligence]
Sometimes I have to call ¡°Hello, Xiao P¡± several times. Maybe it's because my voice is too soft. I'm satisfied with other aspects. One thing that makes me sad is that the P5 doesn't have the Tianji system. I hope there'll be system support. Don't give up on the P5!
[After - sales experience]
Once, my voice interaction had no sound. I asked the after - sales service. They answered my question promptly and patiently. They even kindly sent me screenshots of the operation method to teach me. The service is really good! So far, everything has been going smoothly.
[Least satisfied]
The seat material isn't genuine leather. I didn't notice it when I first looked at the car. Later, when I checked on Autohome, I found it was synthetic leather.
[Most satisfied]
The assisted driving feature. On expressways or highways, I can use the assisted driving function and don't have to operate the car myself. Whether it's turning or overtaking, it can be done freely. It drives much better than I, a novice, can. Well, after all, I'm a novice female driver! Also, I'm very satisfied with the automatic parking function. For me, parking is a huge headache. Others are worried about not finding a parking space. I'm the kind who doesn't even dare to park even when there's a space available. With this function, it's super convenient for me!
