XPENG itself offers a glimpse of what the future may hold: in 2026 the company will launch three robotaxi models in its domestic market.

The XPENG P7 is a bold, emotional, and athletic 5-seater sports sedan that raises the bar in both aesthetics and performance.

This is a major milestone in Austria where the test production has been completed. The Sino–Austrian teams are now moving into the next phase, with a clear focus on precision, quality, and delivery excellence.

XPENG is the world’s most innovative automotive manufacturer in the field of safety systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving: no other carmaker currently matches the technological leadership of the Chinese high-tech group. This is the conclusion of a recent study conducted by the Center of Automotive Management (CAM) in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany.

Partial automation has long since become the standard among Chinese automotive brands. In particular, the study notes that Chinese manufacturers have outperformed international competitors in the ADAS field over the past three years.

In 2024 alone, the share of Chinese brands in global innovative strength exceeded 70 percent. German manufacturers accounted for 14 percent, while US brands reached just 12 percent.

Eight of the ten most innovative automotive manufacturers are Chinese. With an innovation index of 65.6, XPENG stands as the clear market leader. The gap to the second-placed manufacturer exceeds seven points, while the most innovative European brand achieves an index of around half that of XPENG, at 34.3.

XPENG derives around half of its innovative strength from developments related to Level-2+ autonomous driving. Advanced driver assistance systems such as XPILOT, fitted as standard on every XPENG model, support the driver and enable a partially autonomous driving experience on specific road sections.

Depending on market conditions and regulatory frameworks, vehicles from the Chinese high-tech electric car brand may also offer higher levels of autonomy (Level 3.0 and 3.5).
