xPeng, rising Chinese brand in the automotive sector, has been attracting global attention not only for its electric cars but also for its bold bets on disruptive technologies. Founded with the participation of former executives from companies such as GAC, Alibaba, and Xiaomi, the company is not limited to ground mobility: the future of the brand also includes flying cars (eVTOLs) and humanoid robots controlled by Artificial Intelligence.

At the Munich Motor Show 2025 (IAA), one of the largest global automotive events, xPeng showcased to the European public not only its line of electric vehicles but also projects that seem straight out of science fiction. It was in this context that the company’s global vice president, Brian Gu, confirmed that Brazil is on the brand’s radar, as reported by AutoEsporte this Friday, September 12.

Plans for the Brazilian Market

xPeng’s entry into Brazil does not have a defined date yet, but the executive hinted that the strategy should not be limited to just electric vehicles. “If we are studying entering [Brazil], it is natural that all the products we develop are on the radar,” emphasized Brian Gu.

The xPeng P7 Electric Sedan: Highlight in Munich

Among the models on display at the German show, the xPeng P7 was one of the main attractions. It is a second-generation sedan that combines sophisticated design, artificial intelligence, and impressive autonomy.

Dimensions: 5.02 m in length, 1.97 m in width, 1.43 m in height, and a wheelbase of 3.01 m.
Aerodynamics: coefficient of only 0.201, one of the lowest in the category.
Range: up to 820 km on the Chinese WLTC cycle.
Architecture: 800-Volt system, with batteries of 74.9 kWh (LFP) or 92.2 kWh (NMC).
Performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and ultra-fast charging that guarantees 525 km in just 10 minutes.

The model can be configured with three artificial intelligence motors from Turing AI and a Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295p processor, which power the VLM (Very Intelligent Cabin) onboard assistant. The manufacturer believes that the sedan will achieve level 4 of autonomous driving by 2026, a milestone for the industry.

Iron Humanoid Robots: The Bet Off the Streets

At the brand’s booth in Munich, however, it was not only the P7 that stole the spotlight. The Iron, xPeng’s humanoid robot, also caught attention.

Standing 1.73 m tall and weighing 70 kg, the Iron has 60 joints and the ability to perform over 200 different movements. Its processing power is equivalent to 3 trillion operations per second, making it capable of working in factories and, in the future, in daily tasks.

The robot is expected to enter mass production starting in 2026. The company estimates investing US$ 13.8 billion (about R$ 75 billion) in this segment over the next 20 years.

eVTOLs: The “Flying Cars” on the Horizon

Another highlight of xPeng’s strategy is the eVTOL nicknamed “Modular Flying Vehicle” (Land Aircraft Carrier). The prototype will be officially tested in Dubai, UAE, before reaching other markets.

The first demonstration flight is scheduled for next month, and the expectation is that the model will be commercially available in 2026.

This bet reinforces the company’s positioning as a global player not only in electric mobility but also in new forms of urban air transport.

While several Chinese manufacturers focus efforts only on entry-level electric cars, xPeng aims for a different audience: consumers seeking cutting-edge technology, futuristic design, and integrated AI experiences.

This repositioning could make the brand a strong competitor not only to traditional automakers but also to technology giants venturing into the automotive sector.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Cuba is abandoned and a giant ship arrives to help: the vessel brings 100 tons of food, medicine, and solar panels after an oil blockade, while the island faces blackouts, fuel shortages, and has received only one oil tanker in months.

Hilux owners are having headaches, and Toyota is betting on a R$ 2,500 solution with a detail of just 5 mm that promises to reduce vibrations to 1/10 and change the pickup’s behavior on the road.

China’s logistical rise raises an alert for Brazilian infrastructure: AI-driven ports handle 47 million TEU, Beijing invests R$ 285 billion in Africa and threatens up to US$ 60 billion of Brazilian agribusiness while Santos faces historical bottlenecks.

NASA focuses on astronaut feces to feed plants on the Moon with a system of 3 bioreactors capable of recycling waste, recovering water, and extending space missions after achieving 98% reuse on the ISS.

Chile raises military alert and bets on a new national aircraft to rival the Super Tucano; the project brings together the Navy, Air Force, and ENAER, leveraging technologies from the T-40 Newen and experience accumulated from more than 140 aircraft produced.

Why does Inmetro indicate less range than the electric car actually delivers on the streets? Range intrigues drivers.
