Xiaopeng’s 30-second video also revealed some details about the car’s interior such as the premium leather seats, Dynaudio sound system, hidden door handles, and electric suction doors.

In a related development, the XPeng Motors App had a malfunction which allowed users to get a sneak peek into what the SUV’s interior holds. Screenshots from the app show three display screens in the car. The first is a full LCD instrument panel, while the other two are large screens placed side by side.

This is no different from the design found in earlier spy shots. Additionally, the steering wheel adopts a double-spoke flat-bottomed design, and we also spotted two wireless charging panels for mobile phones, cupholders and Dynaudio speakers. Also from the images, there’s no sight of a button on the center panel.
