Following its exhibit at the Chengdu Motor Show in China, XPeng has shared more details of its flying “car,” the Voyager X2. During the showcase in Chengdu, the automaker revealed that the X2 has begun testing flights in extreme conditions, including high altitudes above cities in China.

The Voyager X2 is a fifth-generation “flying car” from Xpeng Huitian, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xpeng (Xiaopeng) Motors. While the X2 is arguably more of an electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVOTL) vehicle, XPeng refers to it as a flying car because it shares a lot of the same design DNA as its P7 EV sedan.

The X2 was preceded by a fourth-generation flying vehicle at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year, when XPeng unveiled the Voyager X1. While the X1 remains in development, we previously shared news of XPeng’s newest flying car, the fifth-generation X2.

In a post on Weibo, XPeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng announced the X2 flying vehicle along with a 1.5-minute video showing the vehicle in action.

During an exhibit at this year’s Chengdu Motor Show, Xpeng has shared new details about the progress of the Voyager X2.
