The interiors are minimal but neat and & egrave; possible to have so much technology.

The instrumentation is; digital and features a 12.3-inch display. Connected infotainment, on the other hand, can count on a 15.6-inch vertical touch screen.

The interiors are also reconfigurable and can be transformed, for example, into a “ small cinema '' in which to see a film that will be; projected on a roll-up screen. And for the sound, the car can rely on the XPeng Advanced Surround Sound System 8-speaker system.
