Chinese electric vehicle maker focused on smart EVs and driver assistance.
XPeng absolutely nailed the balance of price, range and technology. The self-parking actually works in tight city spots, the screen is crisp and responsive, and efficiency on my commute has been excellent. I keep discovering new features through updates and it still feels cutting edge.
Great range, working self-park, crisp tech
XPeng builds genuinely smart EVs and the assisted driving features are the best I have used at this price. On long motorway runs the system reduces fatigue massively and the cabin tech feels properly futuristic. Two years in and the over-the-air updates keep making the car better. Seriously impressive engineering.
There is no denying XPeng packs in impressive software and the smart features are genuinely useful. Where I am torn is that some fundamentals lag behind, like wind noise at speed and a ride that gets fidgety on poor roads. Great gadgets, average comfort, so it really depends what you value.
Really pleased with my XPeng overall, as the technology feels a step ahead and the running costs are tiny. The interior is roomy and the displays are gorgeous. My only gripe is that it occasionally negotiates a slower rate at certain public chargers, so I stick to the ones I know work well.

Excellent driver assistance, futuristic tech, frequent updates
Advanced smart features
Wind noise and firm ride
I bought into XPeng for the smart driving promise, but the system disengaged abruptly a couple of times at highway speed with little warning, which was genuinely frightening. The dealer logged it but could not reproduce the fault, so I have lost trust in the very feature I paid extra for. Not acceptable on a safety-related system.
