# XPeng IRON: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

XPeng's IRON is a research humanoid from the Chinese EV maker (a cross-OEM entrant, like Tesla Optimus). Demonstration, not deployed. No consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. IRON is a research platform from an automotive OEM, not a product sold to consumers, so DEPLOY records zero price points.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

IRON is a research platform from the Chinese EV maker XPeng, not a consumer product. DEPLOY records research maturity with no verified deployments.

## Status

XPeng's IRON is a roughly 175-centimeter, 70-kilogram research humanoid and 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.
