“XPENG will achieve mass production of advanced (high-level) humanoid robots by the end of 2026.”
Chairman and CEO, XPeng Motors
Still open: XPeng commissioned its IRON humanoid robot production lines in September 2026 (first unit walked off the line) and raised over $900M for the robotics unit in August 2026, with mass production still targeted for year-end 2026.
“XPENG will launch three Robotaxi models in 2026 and will also initiate trial operation of Robotaxi; XPENG Robotaxi will be China's first full-stack self-developed and mass-produced Robotaxi.”
Chairman and CEO, XPeng Motors
Partially on track as of late 2026: the first of the three robotaxis, based on the GX SUV, entered series production in Guangzhou in May 2026, with pilot operations planned for the second half of 2026; the other two models and trial service remain to be confirmed.
“In the second half of this year, Xpeng will be the first to realize L3 full-scenario autonomous driving, giving users an unprecedented smart driving experience. I believe that L3 autonomous driving will drive AI cars into the 'iPhone 4 era.'”
Chairman and CEO, XPeng Motors
XPeng did not deliver L3 full-scenario autonomous driving in H2 2025; its flagship VLA 2.0 system (unveiled November 2025, rolled out March 2026) is explicitly described by XPeng as a supervised system, and He Xiaopeng subsequently said XPeng would skip L3 entirely and go from L2 to L4, calling L3 hard to define and engineer.
“By the end of December 2025, XPENG will invite pioneer users to co-create and experience VLA 2.0, and in Q1 2026 it will fully roll out VLA 2.0 to XPENG Ultra models.”
Chairman and CEO, XPeng Motors
XPeng opened nationwide VLA 2.0 test drives across 732 stores on March 11, 2026 and began the over-the-air rollout to P7 Ultra, G7 Ultra and X9 Ultra owners in late March 2026 — inside Q1, though at the very end of the window; the lineup-wide rollout (XOS 6.3.0) followed in September 2026.
