2026 XPeng X9 Gets AIOS 6.2.0 with Lane-Level Rendering, Destination Parking Options, and More

The 2026 Xpeng X9 has begun rolling out the AIOS 6.2.0 system update. Ultra and Ultra SE trims will receive the second version of VLA 2.0, while all X9 variants gain multiple new practical cabin features simultaneously. The distilled version of VLA 2.0 for X9 Max users remains under development. This update introduces NGP roaming functionality in campuses and parking garages when navigation is not active. Within these environments, the vehicle prioritizes staying in its current lane, proceeds straight at forks, and navigates around slow-moving or stationary pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles—all supporting human-in-the-loop driving. When conditions are met, NGP can be activated directly from any location by shifting into Park after powering on the vehicle. A new “Destination Parking Spot Option” feature allows users, upon reaching a learned destination campus via Point-to-Point Parking, to either park in a saved/favorite spot or switch to NGP roaming mode. If the saved spot is occupied, the system supports nearby roaming to locate and park in an available space. A new “Efficiency” parking style has been added. Users can choose between “Efficiency” and “Standard” modes under “Driver Assistance – Parking Scenarios.” The “Efficiency” mode increases parking speed and reduces time required, while “Standard” retains the original, more conservative strategy. Lane-level rendering for driver assistance is now live and enabled by default. It can be disabled via “Settings – Map – Driver Assistance Lane-Level Rendering.” This feature fuses navigation routes with lane-level perception, leveraging lane-level map data and beyond-line-of-sight information to preview upcoming road conditions and clearly communicate NGP’s driving intent. When “Smart Recommendation” mode is enabled on the navigation route page, the system prioritizes recommending familiar routes based on the user’s driving habits, reducing the need for manual waypoint setup. Using the Xpeng App (version 5.18.1 or later), smartphones can function as rear-seat remote controls via Bluetooth connection, allowing control over rear-screen media, music, seats, climate, sunshades, reading lights, and more. Both iOS and Android are supported. New settings for automatic side mirror unfolding timing are available, including the option “Unfold After Opening Door,” helping prevent scratches in tight parking spots upon unlocking. Window stalk control direction can now be set to either “Front Open / Rear Close” or “Front Close / Rear Open.” Intermittent wiper sensitivity is adjustable, and the status indicator lights up when Stop Mode is active. Upon Bluetooth connection, the system can automatically route phone media and notification sounds through the vehicle’s audio system to prevent missed alerts. This feature is disabled by default and must be enabled under “Device Connection – Bluetooth – Bluetooth Device Settings.” The “My Vehicle” app homepage now displays the VIN and license plate number. The driver assistance statistics page adds “Best Driver Assistance Performance” and highlight moment data.
