Chinese EV company Xpeng unveiled its latest humanoid robot in Guangzhou on Nov. 5, 2025, as part of its push to expand beyond electric cars. Xpeng plans to launch robotaxis next year, using self-developed “Turing” AI chips with the highest in-car computing power in the world at 3,000 TOPS.

Xpeng announced partnerships with Alibaba for robotaxis through digital mapping subsidiary AutoNavi and Amaps app. The robotaxi will feature an external display of speed and other information on the sun visors. Testing will start in Guangzhou and other Chinese cities next year, with plans for global expansion.

Xpeng also introduced the second-generation Iron humanoid robot, set for mass production next year. CEO He Xiaopeng expects the robots to be used as tour guides, sales assistants, and office building guides initially. Xpeng plans to sell more robots than cars in the next 10 years, leveraging three Turing AI chips and solid-state battery technology.
