He Xiaopeng's slide says the L05 carries XPeng's second-generation VLA model, "possibly one of the world's strongest" for driver assistance, with the driver supervising: at under RMB200,000, ability beyond the industry's RMB500,000 class.

For quiet, He Xiaopeng says the L05 has laminated double-layer windows and XPeng's own dual active noise cancellation, with insulation he likens to luxury cars.

The L05's second row is set up as a private cinema: the 17.3-inch roof screen, certified low-blue-light by TÜV Rheinland, a fold-out table, an electric sunshade for the glass roof, privacy glass and reclining, heated rear seats; the front passenger seat has massage.

He Xiaopeng says the L05's driver's seat is XPeng's own AI active-fit design: it senses pressure, adjusts to the driver's height, weight and posture, and firms its side bolsters in hard corners.

He Xiaopeng shows the L05's cabin, which he says is built to the standard of a more expensive class: 256-colour "light waterfall" ambient lighting that follows the AI assistant, pulses with music and lights zones in different colours.

XPeng's voice assistant in the L05 now understands English, shown on stage with a request for coffee; it also finds a half-remembered place and plans or changes a multi-stop route in one sentence.

The L05 has mounting points throughout: a pegboard in the boot for outdoor gear, a powered threaded mount in the cabin for an action camera, and factory mounts for a roof rack.
