This Xpeng electric car already humiliates the Xiaomi Yu7 with an endurance record

Certainly, we no longer stop the manufacturers who hunt records with their electric cars. This time, it is not an extreme performance on the circuit or a feat of autonomy, but a exploit of endurance. In a publication on his Weibo account, Xpeng announced on August 15, 2025 that he established ” A new distance record over 24 hours for a 100 % electric car ». Enough to frustrate a certain compatriot…

The Xpeng P7 traveled 3,961 km in 24 hours

As its name suggests, such a record implies wrapping the most kilometers in the clock in the space of 24 hours, including recharge stops. In this game, the Xpeng P7 thus traveled 3,961 km. Is this feat familiar to you? This is normal, since it is only 17 km more than the previous record set at the end of June 2025, by the brand new Xiaomi Yu7 which was 3,944 km. It’s a good war, but the ego must take a hit.

As with Xiaomi, the event took place on the test site of the Chinese Automobile Research and Technology Center (CATC). Nothing had been played in advance, because we learn that a rain was killed the day before departure, August 13, flooding the entire track.

Over 500 km recovered in 10 minutes

As we explained to you with the Xiaomi record, and a little above, the stops necessary for recharge play a crucial role in this performance. And that may be where Xpeng made the difference. When the Xiaomi Yu7 takes 12 minutes to go from 10 to 80 % battery (which is already dazzling), the Xpeng P7 does even better with 11 minutes and 29 seconds.

In other words, the Chinese manufacturer announces that it is possible to recover 525 km of autonomy in just 10 minutes, or more than a km earned per second. Less time at the load, it’s more time to roll. There is also no doubt that the aerodynamic sedan silhouette of the P7 allowed him to draw out of the game compared to the Xiaomi SUV. May the next competitor manifests now!
