The 178 cm / 70 kg figures are for the 2025 next-gen IRON; a later report cites 76 body DOF and 21 per hand. In Sept 2026 XPeng opened an automated IRON production line in Guangzhou, with mass production targeted by end-2026. First units go to XPeng stores and campuses, with external sales from 2027. The first IRON was shown in Nov 2024; that year comes from memory and is unverified.
