Region: Global / Europe
Build: XOS 5.4.5.8905

Guru Summary: What’s New?

The Big Highlight: XOS 5.4.5 is a massive security, connectivity, and customization update. It introduces the highly-anticipated Sentry Mode (AI Guard), Wired Screen Projection for laptops and consoles, and the powerful X-Combo automation system.

Sentry Mode & AI Guard

  • Impact Detection: The car now actively records video inside and out if an unexpected bump or harsh motion is detected while parked, logging it to the Driving Recorder.
  • Suspicious Lingering: It also records if an unknown person lingers around the car for an extended period, flashing hazard lights and automatically saving earlier footage.
  • Mobile App Alerts: Push notifications are sent instantly if the car detects damage or suspicious activity.

Wired Projection & X-Combo

  • Wired Screen Projection: By using a basic HDMI video capture adapter, you can essentially turn the infotainment into a monitor for devices like a Nintendo Switch or MacBook.
  • X-Combo Automations: A new sequence automation builder that lets you trigger operations conditionally. For instance, you can set an X-Combo to automatically engage child locks as soon as the car shifts into Drive.
  • Language Expansions: XPENG Assistant is much smarter and now fully supports German, French, Thai, and Cantonese.

Official Vendor Release Notes

AI Driving Assist

Driver Assistance

  • Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC)
    【Enhancement】Improves the acceleration moment during overtaking or lane changes. After detecting enough distance to accelerate, the system will speed up the vehicle earlier to mitigate disturbance to the traffic behind, making driving safer.
    【Enhancement】Raises the maximum ACC speed under Trailer Mode to 150 Km/h. That means, when the trailer hitch is on for the vehicle to tow a small object, the ACC speed can reach up to 150 Km/h. However, under Caravan Mode, the maximum ACC speed is 100 Km/h.
    Tip: Before a road trip, select an appropriate mode for towing based on the object size. Otherwise, the vehicle is at risk of losing stability during driving.
  • Lane Centering Control(LCC)
    【Enhancement】Improves the performance of lane centering at forks and junctions, taking the driving experience to the next level.
    【Enhancement】Easier and more effortless to resume manual control of the steering wheel when the driver is going to change lanes with turn signals on.
    【Enhancement】Improves the performance of lane centering on bends, making the vehicle more steady when it is cornering.
    【Enhancement】More effortless to follow vehicles in traffic congestion.

Parking Assist

  • Automatic Parking Assist(APA)
    Higher parking efficiency is achieved by raising parking speed and improving sequential shifts. It will take less time to park in the right space.
    The availability of parking spaces is shown more accurately and closer to real-time.
    Enhances the algorithm for the detection of obstacles. This lowers the risk of collisions with low-height obstacles behind the vehicle, improving the overall parking experience.

Active Safety & Guard

  • Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
    【New】The feature is now capable of recognizing and displaying signs such as “No entry” and “Do not enter” as well as off-ramp signs. This helps users watch for road conditions more closely.
  • Surrounding Reality(SR)System
    【New】Capable of recognizing and displaying the behavior of nearby vehicles. During driving, it can show in 3D representations the nearby vehicles with door opening or brake lights coming on.
    【New】Capable of recognizing and displaying parking barriers. During parking, it can show in 3D models the parking barrier within the target space.
  • Driver Assistance Settings
    【Enhancement】Optimizes the logic behind the pop-ups of the push card for disabling the active safety warning sound. This ensures that the push card pops up only once in every power cycle to cause less disturbance.
  • Sentry Mode
    【New】Sentry Mode: supports video recording in case of any danger detected to the vehicle with no occupant inside.
    【New】Jerky Motion Detection: supports video recording when unexpected jerky motions of the vehicle are detected. Events and scenes involving vehicle damage will be recorded and notifications sent through the Xpeng App.
    【New】Suspicious Lingering Detection: the video recorder will be activated when strangers or someone unknown lingers around the vehicle for a long time. Events and scenes involving vehicle damage will be recorded in real time.
    【New】Prior recording capability: scenes before jerky motions and suspicious lingering will still be recorded and saved to the Driving Recorder section.

Smart Cabin & Connectivity

  • Xpeng Assistant
    【New】German, French, Thai, and Cantonese are now available for Xpeng Assistant.
    The wake-up word has been standardized as “Hey, Xpeng”. Users can download the voice packages of new languages, install the packages, and switch among languages for Xpeng Assistant by tapping on language options.
    Capable of holding continued conversations in English.
  • Wired Projection
    【New】The Wired Projection feature supports connections of devices such as Switch and MacBook. For wired projections, users need to buy HDMI cables and video capture cards. The HDMI cable connects to the device on one end and to the video capture card on the other. Besides, the other side of the card needs to be connected to the Type-A port of the car infotainment.
    Tip: XPENG G6 are equipped with Type-C ports that support data transmission. In this case, video capture cards can be connected directly to these Type-C ports.
  • Multitasking Split Screen
    【New】Supports the memory of apps opened on the split screen previously applied. After switching the split screen to full screen, the user can gather the apps that have been opened lately.
    【New】Supports shrinking app window. After opening an app in a shrunk window, the user can return to the desktop (map or the interface of Real-time VR Assist) by swiping the tiny window down with three fingers.
    【Enhancement】Optimizes the logic behind the screen display. If the map or Real-time VR Assist is opened in the large window under split-screen mode, the interface of the opened app will be displayed as the large-window desktop.
  • X-Combo for Smart In-car Experience
    【New】X-Combo launched on infotainment, with more intuitive operations. Users can utilize the sensing capabilities of the vehicle and set conditions for it to run a sequence of operations. For example, locking the child lock while driving: when the vehicle is shifted into D gear, the system automatically locks the car windows and left and right rear child locks.
  • XDock
    【New】A customized XDock layout will stay in the XPENG Account. That means a configured XDock follows a specific account, making it more user-friendly when multiple people with different accounts take turns driving.
    【New】Launches the light color theme under Day Mode.
