X2 adopts an enclosed cockpit with a minimalist teardrop-shaped design and has a complete carbon fiber structure to reduce weight.
The two-seater flying car will be suitable for future low-altitude city flights and for short-distance city journeys such as sightseeing and medical transportation.
The XPENG X2 is equipped with two driving modes: manual and autonomous.
The company said it plans to announce progress on its sixth-generation model that can drive on roads as well as fly.
"XPENG X2's public display in Dubai represents a significant milestone for XPENG AEROHT and the international achievement of flying cars," said vice chairman Brian Gu.
