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.

eVTOLs: The “Flying Cars” on the Horizon

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

A single solar storm can knock out satellites, wipe out GPS, and leave 40 million people without power for months — and the transformers that protect the grid take 4 years to manufacture.

Sydney is erecting the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper — it’s 40 stories of hybrid timber that sequester carbon instead of emitting it, and the tower is expected to be completed as early as 2026.

While sanitation in Brazil serves only 55% of the population and discharges sewage into rivers, Singapore already recycles 100% of the water it consumes and has transformed sewage into award-winning potable water.

The Sagrada Família in Barcelona has completed its main structure after 144 years of construction — exactly 100 years after Gaudí’s death, and the tallest tower reaches 172 meters.

After mapping more than 200 million proteins, artificial intelligence enters the race to accelerate drugs, vaccines, and enzymes against plastic and CO₂, opening an era in which molecules can be designed on demand.
