Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV, HKG: 9868) is testing Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities on its yet-to-be-released GX flagship SUV (sport utility vehicle), local media outlet Cailian reported on Friday.
A camouflaged Xpeng vehicle bearing "L4 Autonomous Driving Test" and "Caution" markings was observed undergoing testing on open roads in the company's headquarters city Guangzhou, the report noted.
The Xpeng GX will feature four Turing chips with an effective computing power of 3000 TOPS, enabling Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, the report said.
Xpeng first mentioned the GX large six-seat SUV on February 5, sharing its first three official images.
The GX is built on Xpeng's new SEPA (Smart Electric Platform Architecture) 3.0 physical AI vehicle architecture, incorporating technologies like steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering, according to company chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng.
Xpeng did not disclose further specifications for the GX, though it will apparently feature the company's in-house developed Turing AI chip.
The company unveiled the Turing AI chip in June 2025, with each chip delivering about 700 TOPS of computing power. The chip has already been deployed across multiple Xpeng models, powering smart driving and cockpit functions.
Further details about the GX remain scarce, but it will position as Xpeng's flagship model, likely targeting a price range between RMB 400,000 ($57,630) and RMB 500,000.
Xpeng ranks among China's most advanced EV makers in smart driving capabilities and is developing L4 autonomous robotaxis.
Xpeng plans to launch three robotaxi models in 2026 and commence trial operations for the service, it announced during its AI Day event last November.
These robotaxis will feature four of Xpeng's in-house developed Turing AI chips, delivering up to 3,000 TOPS of computing power.
They will be powered by Xpeng's second-generation VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model, capable of adapting to global traffic habits, according to the company.
