The Xpeng P7+ now comes with a Dark Knight package for 6000 yuan. Sales have dropped by 53%.

Xpeng introduced the Dark Knight styling package for its P7+ sedan in China on October 9, 2026. The black body, red accents, and new wheels cost 6,000 yuan during the promotional period, but the vehicle does not feature any technical changes.

Black, red stripes, and brake caliper covers

The regular price of the package is 10,000 yuan, or about $1,490. During a limited-time promotion, it is reduced by 40% to 6,000 yuan, roughly $890. The Dark Knight package can be ordered for any version of the P7+, with demo vehicles gradually making their way to dealerships.

The package includes Midnight Black paint, darkened logos and trim, as well as 20-inch six-spoke wheels. The red elements on the brakes are brake caliper covers, not a new braking system. Inside, there is gray upholstery, red seat belts, red stitching on the seats, and decorative panels with a metallic finish.

The engines, batteries, and driver assistance systems remain unchanged. This is the same approach Nio regularly uses. Its Onvo brand offered a similar Starry Gold package for the L90 on September 23, also at 10,000 yuan or a promotional price of 6,000 yuan.

The P7+ needs more than just new paint

The timing of the launch is no coincidence. In August, Xpeng sold 2,431 units of the P7+, and from January to August, a total of 25,858 units. According to data cited by ChinaEVHome, sales over these eight months were about 53% lower than the previous year. The campaign is thus intended to remind customers of a model that has fallen out of the spotlight.

The P7+ still boasts strong specifications on paper. The electric version uses a battery of 61.7 or 74.9 kWh, offering ranges of 615 or 725 km according to CLTC standards. Since January, an EREV variant with a combustion engine, a 49.2 kWh battery, and a claimed electric range of 430 km has also been available. With a full battery and a 45-liter fuel tank, it is said to have a CLTC range of up to 1,550 km.

The 800 V architecture and 5C charging capability are said to allow the battery to reach 10% to 80% charge in 12 minutes. This is the manufacturer’s claim, along with a claimed effective computing power of 2250 TOPS for the second-generation VLA system.

The upgraded P7+ costs 186,800 yuan in China. The model has also reached Europe, with deliveries starting in countries such as France and Norway in June. The Dark Knight package has been announced so far for China only. Xpeng has not stated whether a black version will be available in European markets as well.
