NYSE: XPEV · HKEX: 9868 · China

XPeng sells assisted driving first and the car second: it develops its own perception stack and, since 2025, its own inference silicon, and prices the result below what the software would fetch alone.

Three horizontal bars of equal width, each the range a company guided to for third-quarter 2026 deliveries, floor on the left and ceiling on the right: NIO 108,000 to 111,000, XPeng 115,000 to 121,000, Li Auto 95,000 to 100,000. A pale marker shows where actual deliveries landed. NIO's 109,178 sits about two-fifths of the way up, XPeng's 118,390 just past halfway, and Li Auto's 99,964 almost exactly at the ceiling.
