The PX5 is an early humanoid robot from XPENG, the Chinese electric-vehicle manufacturer that has expanded into robotics. Unveiled at XPENG's Tech Day in 2023, the PX5 was the company's first major humanoid showcase, demonstrating bipedal locomotion and notably lightweight, dexterous hands. It predates XPENG's flagship IRON humanoid and reflects the company's early step from automotive into "physical AI."
Price Range
The PX5 was an early development and demonstration platform, not a retail product. A robotics aggregator lists an estimate around $150,000, but this is indicative only — XPENG has not sold the PX5 as a priced consumer or commercial product, and the company's current humanoid focus is IRON.
| Basis | Figure |
|---|---|
| Aggregator estimate | ~$150,000 (indicative only) |
| Confirmed price | Not published; early development platform |
| Availability | Superseded by XPENG's IRON program |

Model Breakdown
The PX5 is XPENG's first-generation humanoid demonstration platform. It established the company's humanoid engineering — particularly its lightweight, dexterous hand and arm work — before XPENG concentrated its efforts on the IRON humanoid, now its flagship.
Buyer's Guide: What to Know
The PX5 is an early-generation showcase, not a product. XPENG's current and future humanoid is IRON; the PX5 is the developmental predecessor.
Its hand engineering is the standout. The ~430 g, 11-DOF hand with hybrid rigid-soft drive demonstrated XPENG's lightweight-design strength — a capability that carried into IRON.
Don't read the aggregator price as real. The ~$150k figure is an estimate; the PX5 was never offered at a confirmed price.
PX5 vs Similar Robots
- PX5 vs XPENG IRON: IRON is the far more advanced flagship successor — more joints, dexterous 22-DOF hands, and a mass-production roadmap.
- PX5 vs Unitree G1: Both are compact-ish humanoids; the G1 is a purchasable research platform, the PX5 an early automaker showcase.
- PX5 vs Xiaomi CyberOne: Both are first humanoid efforts from major Chinese consumer-tech companies, unveiled around the same era.
