On December 29, 2025, Xiaopeng Motors officially released the 2026 P7+, simultaneously unveiling a brand-new exclusive paint color: Star Mirror Blue. As a new option among the model's six color choices, "Star Mirror Blue" is not only a visual upgrade but also signifies a systematic breakthrough for Xpeng in body coating technology.
The visual appeal of the "Star Mirror Blue" paint stems from a comprehensive innovation in its underlying technology:
Coating Structure: Utilizing a 4C3B (four-coat, three-bake) process, the color coat and clear coat are applied in two layers, increasing the average paint film thickness by 30% compared to the industry average, achieving a dual leap in color saturation and texture.
Clear Coat Substrate: Equipped with BASF ProGloss PLUS 2K high-transparency clear coat, the gloss exceeds industry standards by 10%, presenting a deep, transparent blue hue like a mirror under direct sunlight, combining metallic luster and pearlescent layers.
Durability Performance: Paint surface hardness is increased by 40%, and anti-aging capabilities are enhanced by 50%, effectively resisting UV erosion and environmental corrosion, extending the lifespan of the exterior.
Intelligent Self-Healing: Integrating micro-scratch self-repair technology, minor scratches can be automatically smoothed out under sunlight or warm water, maintaining a long-lasting, like-new paint finish.
This set of process technologies is leading in its class of pure electric/extended-range sedans, providing users with a lasting aesthetic experience comparable to luxury brands.
"Star Mirror Blue" is not an isolated color scheme, but is deeply integrated with the overall design language of the 2026 P7+:
