Overview

By the RankedRobot research desk · checked against the sources below on 2026-10-20 · how we write these

XPENG, headquartered in Guangzhou, China, unveiled its Next-Gen IRON on 5 November 2025. IRON is a two-legged humanoid with a human-like form and a proprietary fully enclosed flexible lattice structure. The maker says it can carry out complex tasks autonomously, without remote operation.

It remains a prototype and cannot yet be ordered. On 8 September 2026 the maker announced that its production line had been commissioned and the first unit had walked off it. XPENG targets mass production in late 2026, with rollout first in its own stores and campuses. Deliveries are planned from the first half of 2027, and a European rollout in the second half of 2027. No price has been published.

The latest official figures give 76 degrees of freedom, far above the 29 median across humanoid records, including 21 in each hand. Three Turing chips deliver up to 2,250 TOPS of effective computing power. The November 2025 release gave higher figures: 82 degrees of freedom, 22 per hand and 3,000 TOPS. XPENG has not published height, weight, walking speed, runtime, battery capacity or payload.
