XPeng's IRON (from the Chinese EV maker XPeng) is a roughly 175-centimeter, 70-kilogram research humanoid, an automotive-OEM entrant into humanoids, the cross-OEM positioning that parallels Tesla Optimus emerging from a carmaker. DEPLOY records it at research maturity with no verified deployments. XPeng has shown IRON in staged demonstrations and stated consumer and industrial intentions, but the verification posture is demonstration, not verified autonomous deployment or commercial sale, and DEPLOY cap-flags aggregator 'autonomous' or 'shipping' framing. As a research platform it has no consumer price.
