In Chinese, “Pengyi” means wings of roc. The new model is given the name perhaps due to its scissors front doors that are similar to a pair of wings when they are lifted. Users can open the doors using key, bluetooth/NFC-enabled digital key, Apps on smart phone, car-mounted display, voice assistant and inside door handles.

The degree of front door opening can be determined by users themselves. Each door carries a radar detector that can recognize obstacles, so as to prevent the doors from being hit by other objects when they are opened.

The fluorescent green body painting is also rather eye-catching. Additionally, red and grey are also available for the Xpengyi
