The electric vehicle landscape continues to evolve at lightning speed, and XPENG Motors is clearly leading the charge. At Auto Shanghai 2025, the premium EV maker unveiled a wave of revolutionary AI-driven technologies that redefine the future of intelligent mobility.
Leading the AI Mobility Revolution
XPENG, China’s trailblazer in high-tech electric vehicles, took center stage at Auto Shanghai 2025, held in Shanghai, China, with a showcase of its most advanced AI and EV innovations yet. More than just a product reveal, XPENG introduced a bold new vision for AI-powered transportation through its AI Tech Tree—an ecosystem of smart solutions designed to transform the driving experience.
Key highlights include the debut of the 5C AI Supercharging battery, the cutting-edge Turing AI chip, and the humanoid robot IRON, all designed to create a smarter, more responsive, and fully connected mobility ecosystem. The message was clear: XPENG is no longer just building electric cars—it’s shaping the future of AI-integrated transportation.
XPENG World Foundation Model: A New AI Brain for Smart Vehicles
To mark one year since launching its end-to-end AI mobility strategy, XPENG revealed its most ambitious innovation yet—the XPENG World Foundation Model. This next-generation AI brain is 35 times more powerful than conventional VLA models, capable of adapting to unfamiliar situations in real time. It’s set to power not only XPENG’s smart EVs but also its humanoid robots and even flying vehicles.
P7+ with 5C Ultra-Fast Charging: Charging Ahead of the Competition
One of the show’s standouts was the XPENG P7+, particularly its Super Long Range Max Flagship Edition. Equipped with the 5C AI Supercharging system, this model boasts a stunning 420 km of range after just 10 minutes of charging. With an ultra-efficient energy consumption rate of 12.7 kWh per 100 km, it’s setting new standards for what’s possible in EV charging technology.
Meet IRON: The Humanoid Robot Turning Heads
Drawing crowds at XPENG’s booth was IRON, a humanoid robot standing 178 cm tall with 22 degrees of freedom in its articulated hands. Engineered for human-like interaction, IRON can grip and manipulate objects with impressive precision. Integrated with XPENG’s smart cockpit AI, the robot demonstrates the brand’s broader ambition: to extend its technological prowess beyond EVs into the realm of robotics and autonomous systems.
Final Thoughts: The Future Is Now
With its daring AI-first approach, XPENG has made a powerful statement at Auto Shanghai 2025. From hyper-fast charging and adaptive AI systems to humanoid robotics, the company is no longer simply competing in the EV race—it’s rewriting the rules entirely. As the world shifts toward AI mobility and electric vehicles, XPENG is one name we’ll be hearing a lot more of.
