XPENG IRON
By XPENG
XPENG IRON is a 178 cm, 70 kg humanoid that the manufacturer presented in early November 2025.
XPENG presented IRON in November 2025 as a humanoid with a biomimetic structure featuring a flexible spine, artificial muscles and soft skin. According to the manufacturer it is 178 cm tall and weighs 70 kg, has about 60 joints and roughly 200 degrees of freedom, 22 of them in each hand. Three Turing AI chips together provide up to 3,000 TOPS. XPENG calls IRON the first humanoid with a full solid-state battery. The manufacturer intends to deploy IRON commercially first and aims for mass production in late 2026. There are therefore no user results yet; treat the profile as a prototype.
