Zhang Yimou Experiences XPeng GX Intelligent Driving at the 7th World Media Summit

The 7th World Media Summit was held in Beijing from November 5 to 8. During the summit's AI forum, 76-year-old Zhang Yimou sat inside a XPENG GX at the technology interactive exhibition area and asked staff whether intelligent driving is a future development trend. At this year's summit, the XPENG GX, as an intelligent driving vehicle, provided mobility services for major global news agencies and authoritative media outlets. Media representatives from Australia, Sweden, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Turkmenistan and other countries took test rides, with some foreign media commenting that intelligent driving is more stable than human driving. On-site staff introduced that XPENG was one of only two brands to open intelligent driving to global media and ordinary users at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, the other being Tesla. Staff also outlined XPENG's plan for rolling out intelligent driving in Europe: after European intelligent driving regulations take effect at the end of the year, XPENG aims to become the first Chinese brand to launch intelligent driving functions in Europe in the first quarter of 2027. In his subsequent speech at the summit, Zhang Yimou said he visited the technology interactive exhibition the previous evening, where various new technologies were presented in a concentrated manner. The XPENG GX was officially launched in May 2026, with an official guide price starting at 279,800 yuan and a limited-time benefit price starting at 269,800 yuan, offering both pure electric and super extended-range powertrains. Built on the SEPA3.0 architecture, the vehicle is equipped with the Turing AI intelligent driving chip and the second-generation VLA intelligent driving system, with a maximum effective computing power of 3,000 TOPS. It features a native steer-by-wire chassis, steer-by-wire, rear-wheel steering, dual-chamber air suspension, AI digital projection headlights and AI dimming privacy glass with a UV blocking rate of 99.9%.
