Current status
On September 8, 2026 XPeng commissioned an automated IRON production line in Guangzhou and said a unit walked off the line under its own power, with more than 80 percent of core processes automated. Mass production is still targeted by late 2026 (initially in XPeng stores and campuses) and a commercial launch in China and overseas in 2027. CnEVPost reported on September 3, 2026, citing Jipian Lab, that the production version will use high-energy semi-solid (solid-liquid hybrid) pouch cells rather than the all-solid-state pack shown at 2025 AI Day, because all-solid-state supply could not meet the year-end production schedule. XPeng has not itself confirmed the battery change.

Late 2026
Scale IRON humanoid robot production
XPeng commissioned its automated IRON production line in Guangzhou on September 8, 2026, with a unit walking off the line under its own power and more than 80 percent of core processes automated. The company still aims to reach 1,000+ robots per month by the end of 2026 and begin the first commercial deployment (as showroom assistants) in Q1 2027, part of a long-term goal of 1M robots by 2030. In August 2026 the robotics business raised over $900M in its first outside funding round (post-money valuation above $6.3B, led by IDG Capital) to accelerate the buildout.

XPeng prices G9L below its own pre-sale figure
XPeng launched the G9L five-seat flagship SUV at an event in Beijing on September 17 with official prices of 241,800 to 319,800 yuan across six variants, cut by a limited-time 10,000 yuan discount for orders placed before November 15 that takes the entry price to 231,800 yuan (about $34,000), well under the 259,800 yuan pre-sale figure set in August. The 5,120 mm SUV comes in battery-electric and extended-range versions, both with 800V fast charging as standard, offering up to 755 km of CLTC range on the BEV and 1,602 km of combined range on the EREV, and it runs XPeng's VLA 2.0 model on the same Turing chips used in the company's IRON humanoid robot. XPeng said the G9L will be sold in 64 markets, will be built both in Guangzhou and at Magna's Graz plant in Austria as its fourth European-assembled model, and gets its global launch at the Paris Motor Show on October 12.
XPeng IRON walks off automated robot production line
XPeng said on September 8, 2026 that it commissioned what it calls the first automated production line for advanced humanoid robots in Guangzhou, and that an IRON unit walked off the line under its own power. CEO He Xiaopeng said more than 80 percent of core processes are automated and called the step small but a start on manufacturing a new product category. Mass production is still targeted by the end of 2026 for XPeng stores and campuses, with external sales planned for 2027.
XPeng robotics arm raises $900 million for IRON robot
XPeng's robotics division raised more than $900 million in its first outside funding round, reaching a post-money valuation above $6.3 billion, led by IDG Capital with Gaorong Ventures, Tencent and Alibaba also participating. XPeng called it the largest private funding round in China's embodied-intelligence sector, with proceeds funding its IRON humanoid robot, which the company is targeting for mass production by the end of 2026 and commercial deliveries in 2027.
