XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV) shares dipped Friday after the company reported April deliveries of 31,011 vehicles, up 13% month over month but down 11.5% year over year.
Delivery And Demand Trends
The company said customer engagement improved following the rollout of its Vision-Language-Action (VLA) 2.0 system in March, with test-drive satisfaction rising by the end of April.
The average time to make purchase decisions after test drives declined 44.7% month over month, underscoring intelligent driving as a key sales driver.
Product And Expansion
XPeng also expanded its product and manufacturing footprint during the month. On April 15, the company unveiled the GX, its first full-sized flagship SUV built on advanced cross-domain technologies.
Earlier, it rolled off the first locally produced P7+ at Magna’s plant in Graz, Austria, marking its third model to be manufactured locally, after the G6 and G9.
Future Mobility Push
Beyond vehicles, XPeng is advancing new mobility initiatives. President Brian Gu said the company is targeting fourth-quarter 2026 production for its humanoid robot. XPeng has received more than 7,000 orders for its flying cars, all from China, and is seeking regulatory approval.
The company also plans to produce thousands of robotaxis over the next 18 months and expects its humanoid robot business to exceed its automotive segment over the next two decades.
