On January 26, Geshi Auto learned that Xiaopeng Motor President Gu Hongdi said a few days ago that Xiaopeng Motor plans to launch a third car this year, and deliver it as early as the fourth quarter.

According to reports, Xiaopeng's third model is codenamed D55. After mass production, it may be named the Xiaopeng P5. The new car is positioned as a compact pure electric sedan. Earlier, Xiaopeng officially released a preview map of the new car and stated that the “P5” will be released in 2021. Gu Hongdi's statement indicates that mass production of new cars will accelerate.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaopeng's third new car will be the world's first mass-produced smart car equipped with lidar. According to reports, lidar can improve the high-precision recognition function and sensing ability of vehicles, enhance the monitoring of pedestrians and other static objects, and not be able to image the environment from light. Earlier, Xiaopeng Motor announced a partnership with DJI Livox Lanwo Technology to use its customized Xiaopeng automotive-grade lidar on new mass-produced models launched in 2021.

In addition, Gu Hongdi also stated in an interview with the media: “Xiaopeng noticed a shortage of chips, but it was not affected.”

Currently, Xiaopeng Motors has two models on sale, namely the Xiaopeng G3, which was launched in December 2018, and the Xiaopeng P7, which was launched in April 2020. In 2020, Xiaopeng Motor delivered a total of 27,041 vehicles, an increase of 112% over the previous year.
