XPeng launches X‑Mind AI platform and readies MONA L03 EV for worldwide sales

XPeng unveiled its X‑Mind predictive world‑model framework at the CVPR 2026 Workshop on Foundation Model Deployment for Embodied Intelligence. The system adds proactive reasoning, long‑horizon forecasting and a Visual Chain‑of‑Thought capability that lets autonomous vehicles simulate future traffic scenarios before acting, aiming to improve safety and decision transparency while keeping latency low enough for automotive‑grade chips.

The company also announced that its VLA 2.0 autonomous‑driving software suite is “locked in” for global markets starting in 2027, with regulatory approval in the EU and UN. XPeng’s upcoming MONA L03 compact crossover, designed for European roads, will launch in July and is slated for assembly at the new plant in Malacca, Malaysia, alongside facilities in Austria and Indonesia. The model features a 183 kW motor, 56‑or‑69 kWh battery options and a low drag coefficient, positioning it below the G6 in price. XPeng’s expansion aims to broaden its presence in Europe and beyond.
