XPeng has told Australian media it will switch on VLA 2.0 supervised self-driving in Australia from 2027, free for owners, where Tesla FSD Supervised here runs at $149 a month. The catch: only cars on XPeng's new Turing chip platform support it, starting with the Mona L03 small electric crossover that gets a global reveal in Munich on 16 July 2026. The current $54,800 to $59,800 XPeng G6, including the 1 July 2026 update, stays on Nvidia Orin-X hardware and cannot run VLA 2.0. Australia is in the first global wave of VLA 2.0 markets. XPeng holds a Melbourne brand launch event on 21 July 2026 to lock in pricing and the wider Australian product map.
