XPeng P7+ gets Dark Knight factory styling package

XPeng has added a factory styling package for the P7+ with a black exterior, red seat belts and distinctive 20-inch wheels. The Chinese company calls it Dark Knight and has launched it with a temporary 40% discount. Instead of the regular 10,000 yuan, buyers pay 6,000 yuan.

The package is available for all four P7+ variants sold in China. It includes a special black finish, darkened badges and lettering, 20-inch six-spoke sport wheels and red covers on the brake calipers. The cabin adds Lava Gray trim, red seat belts, contrast stitching and metallic-effect decorative elements.

Dark Knight is not a performance version. It does not change the powertrain or the driver-assistance hardware. It is a factory design package that alters the exterior and cabin without aftermarket tuning. Orders for the P7+ with Dark Knight are already open in China.

The sedan’s technical basis is unchanged. In China, the P7+ is offered as a battery-electric model with up to 725 km of CLTC range and as an EREV with a petrol range extender, rated for up to 1,550 km of total range. Those figures apply to the regular P7+ versions and are not specific to the Dark Knight package.

The P7+ has already expanded beyond China and is officially offered in several European countries. That does not mean the Dark Knight package will appear in configurators outside China, however. XPeng has so far announced it specifically for the Chinese model range.

The point of the package is almost entirely visual. Buyers get factory-fitted trim and wheels as part of the vehicle order, but the extra cost does not increase power or driving range. XPeng has not said how long the promotional price of 6,000 yuan will remain in effect.
