XPENG P7

The passenger compartment of the P7 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy numbers showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. XPENG showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.  Protection of all critical body areas was good for the front passenger but the driver’s chest protection was rated as marginal, based on dummy readings of compression.  Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the P7 would be a benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, chest protection was again rated as marginal for the driver, based on dummy readings of compression.  Otherwise, protection of both dummies was good in this test. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate and, in the side pole impact, the P7 scored full points with good protection of all critical boday areas.  Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was marginal. The P7 has a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts and this performed well in Euro NCAP's test. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.   The P7 has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash.   The car also has a system which applies the brakes after an impact, to avoid secondary collisions.  XPENG demonstrated that if the car entered water, the doors, if locked, could be opened within two minutes of power being lost but did not demonstrate the duration for which windows would remain functional.
