XPeng P7 Gets Highest Active Safety Score of All EVs Sold in China — 98.51%

After passing the 50,000 vehicle milestone with the P7, setting new sales records two months in a row, and leading the Chinese EV startup market, the Guangzhou-based company has announced that the XPeng P7 has the absolute highest safety rating of all electric vehicles sold in China. Its latest C-NCAP safety tests concluded with a score of 98.51% in the "Active safety" category. Overall, the P7 got a 5-star safety rating and total score of 89.4%. So, what goes into the active safety score? I'll let XPeng explain: "C-NCAP testing for active safety includes autonomous emergency braking systems, AEB testing for car-to-car rear collisions, and AEB testing for pedestrians. In all these areas, the P7's high-performance systems contributed strongly, enabling the final 98.51% aggregate score, and reflecting the P7's market-leading technology." XPeng P7 achieved the highest active safety score of 98.51% among #ElectricVehicles in China in July's C-NCAP tests, with strong performance in autonomous emergency braking systems, AEB testing for car-to-car rear collisions, and AEB testing for pedestrians. "The XPeng P7 also achieved a 92.61% occupant protection score in the C-NCAP safety test. Within this occupant protection score, the P7 achieved a 91.99% score on frontal 40% collision testing, and a 100% score on side impact tests. This reflects XPeng's achievements in attaining a high standard of mechanical engineering in its vehicles, to match their cutting-edge autonomous driving systems." Anyone who has followed XPeng somewhat closely knows that its driver-assist features have received rave reviews. Here are some more details from XPeng on the new i-VISTA system: "Operating under the guidance of the China Automotive Research Institute, the China Society of Automotive Engineering and the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the i-VISTA China Intelligent Vehicle Index draws on both domestic and foreign testing and evaluation methodology for smart and connected vehicles, integrating these with driving data, driver behavior and Chinese market characteristics, including traffic accident data and other research findings."
