To beat Tesla, XPENG is doing Tesla
This page is translated from the original post "Pour battre Tesla, XPENG fait du Tesla" in French.

To become the best, you must outperform the best. This obvious fact clearly illustrates XPENG’s ambitions, as they keep Tesla in their sights.
XPENG has decided to ramp up its game at the start of 2025. To fulfill its promises, the brand is not afraid to adopt what already works for sector leaders like Tesla. With its update XOS 5.4, rolled out since January 2, 2025, the Chinese manufacturer offers a series of improvements focusing on intelligence, safety, and customization.
Among the new features, the voice assistant becomes even more accessible. It can now respond in French, English, German, Cantonese, or even Thai. This allows you to control navigation, manage media, or activate specific functions without lifting a finger, regardless of your language.

On the safety side, XPENG introduces AI Guard, and the inspiration is clear. The Sentry Mode is a direct copy of Tesla’s Sentry mode! It monitors the vehicle’s surroundings when parked and sends an alert in case of suspicious movement. Perfect for peace of mind. Additionally, a driving recording system automatically captures important moments. However, this last feature is still limited in some regions, mainly due to legal reasons related to image rights.
Small details that matter when choosing
To make everyday life easier, XPENG introduces X-Combo, a tool that automates certain repetitive tasks, such as activating child locks when the car starts. The user interface has also become more flexible, allowing you to customize displays and features according to your needs. Even the charging experience has evolved with an animation inspired by the Northern Lights that accompanies you while the battery fills up. A small detail, perhaps, but it adds a Zen touch to an operation that isn’t always inherently relaxing.

With XOS 5.4, XPENG continues to refine its offering by leveraging the best ideas from the market, while aiming to attract customers with well-thought-out, practical innovations. It’s so simple that you wonder why everyone else isn’t doing the same…
