On September 11, Yijing X9 launched a media smart driving livestream event in Chongqing with a hundred participants, featuring entirely real road conditions, no editing, and no script, marking the industry's first public multi-livestream real-world test of Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5. From 8D multi-level interchanges to narrow and cramped complex old urban areas, from tunnel clusters to mountainous winding roads, the entire route of approximately 61 kilometers was completed by Yijing X9 in one go, calmly handling Chongqing's smart driving hellish road sections
Previously, on August 18, Yijing X9 officially opened pre-sales, and orders exceeded 21,235 units within 24 hours of pre-sales, proving the hardcore strength of the "second-generation family flagship" with phenomenal popularity.
Yijing X9 will officially go on sale later this month. As the first flagship large six-seat SUV jointly created by Dongfeng Motor and Huawei Qiankun, Yijing X9 is among the first to be equipped with two industry-leading core technologies, Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5 and HarmonySpace 6 cockpit, achieving comprehensive advancement across six major dimensions including flagship smart driving, flagship comfort, and flagship safety, redefining the value standard for family flagships.
By accepting全网 scrutiny in such an extremely open and extremely transparent manner, Yijing X9 offers the most direct expression of absolute confidence in its own smart driving strength. It responds to user trust with an unprecedented public real-world test.
Media collectively livestream publicly, Yijing X9 pioneers the smart driving livestream industry
This livestream real-world test by Yijing X9 breaks convention, choosing an extreme approach different from the industry's "conventional smart driving livestreams." Previously in the industry, smart driving livestreams were mostly one car, one team, one route, with the venue tested before going live, and even retakes if the footage was not good. Yijing X9 breaks convention by choosing multiple livestream rooms, the same route, simultaneous departure, and simultaneous broadcasting.
This means that throughout the livestream process there is no filter whatsoever, and the test results are completely open and transparent. If even one car requires additional intervention midway, the livestream footage will expose it in real time. Multiple media outlets livestreaming simultaneously means there can be no unified editing, no post-event remediation, and no room for error. This "uncontrollability" itself is the true ultimate test of the smart driving system.
And the road complexity of 8D Chongqing is far higher than conventional urban main roads: level recognition of multi-layer interchanges, narrow-road vehicle meetings in old urban areas, sudden light changes in tunnel clusters, and continuous blind-curve bends on mountainous winding roads. Any one of these is a "high-pressure exam room" for a smart driving system. By setting the exam venue in Chongqing, Yijing X9 itself adopts a posture of "self-imposed difficulty."
In the field of smart driving for new energy vehicles, between "daring to drive" and "being able to use it well" lies an entire trust gap. Yijing X9 dares to cross that gap, break convention, and pioneer the industry.
Chongqing's smart driving hellish road sections, Yijing X9 completes in one go
In this real-world test livestream, Yijing X9 selected Chongqing's highly difficult mountain-city route to complete the smart driving real-world test, completing the entire route in one go. Under multiple complex scenarios such as steep mountain bends, 8D multi-level road networks, continuous slopes, and narrow alleys with mixed pedestrian and vehicle traffic, it comprehensively demonstrated the full-scenario intelligent assisted driving and active safety hardcore strength of Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5.
More than a hundred people from multiple media outlets livestreaming simultaneously means that any mistake by any car will be magnified a hundredfold. The smart driving system is not allowed to have good days and bad days; it must remain stable and online throughout. This is precisely the core requirement this livestream imposes on the smart driving system, and Yijing X9 responds with a complete set of interlocking technologies.
In terms of hardware redundancy, Yijing X9 is equipped with an industry-leading four-lidar perception solution, an 896-line dual-optical-path image-grade lidar + high-precision solid-state lidar, combined with 11 high-definition cameras and distributed 4D millimeter-wave radar, totaling 32 high-performance sensors. Multiple sensors complement each other's advantages and serve as backups for one another. Even if a single sensor's performance degrades in dark tunnels or under strong glare, the entire system can still perceive in all weather, all directions, and all dimensions.
In terms of decision-making stability, relying on Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving's over 15 billion kilometers of road test data and millisecond-level decision-making capability, the WEWA 2.0 architecture allows the system to be fully validated through massive real-world road conditions, and cloud simulation has upgraded from "single-vehicle game" to "group game," with game intensity increased 10-fold. Facing any sudden situation during the livestream, such as cut-ins, ghost probes, and irregular obstacles, it can make mature and stable driving decisions.
In terms of safety fallback, relying on the CAS 5.0 all-dimensional anti-collision system of Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5, Yijing X9 achieves full-dimensional safety coverage of "all speeds, all directions, all targets, all weather, all scenarios, and all time domains." The effective range of forward AEB is 1-150 km/h, the effective range of rearward AEB is 1-60 km/h, and the effective range of side anti-collision is 10-130 km/h, providing 360-degree protection for smart driving safety without blind spots. The combination of these three forms the technical foundation that makes Yijing X9 "not afraid to be watched": perception hardware is sufficiently redundant, so it dares to face numerous lenses aimed at the road throughout; the algorithm is strong enough, so it dares to set the exam venue in Chongqing; and safety has a fallback, so it dares to face "zero tolerance."
In terms of intelligent assisted driving, based on Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5, Yijing X9 has urban roaming cruise assistance RCA and park roaming cruise assistance RCA functions, covering the full scenarios of family travel from urban commuting to long-distance highway driving, from park passage to assisted parking.
Yijing X9 can easily handle multi-level interchange sections with dense forks and complex elevated levels, accurately identify the current elevated level, and choose the correct fork exit; it can also easily handle congested morning rush-hour sections, achieving zero-takeover car-following, recognizing traffic lights at intersections, and passing through traffic intersections on its own; it can travel autonomously without navigation.
In terms of active safety, Yijing X9 can easily handle mixed pedestrian and vehicle roads with continuous curves and large blind spots, and can smoothly pass through old urban sections with many narrow intersections and pedestrians and non-motor vehicles weaving through. At the same time, the "wide-angle + telephoto" design of the 896-line dual-optical-path image-grade lidar can identify distant targets at the far end of curves, and can still identify small targets only 14 centimeters tall from 120 meters away in complex environments such as darkness and heavy rain, ensuring the safe passage of Yijing X9 through sections such as tunnels.
In addition, the 75-inch enhanced AR-HUD head-up display is a great helper for safe driving. Navigation routes and real-time road conditions are integrated in a virtual-real manner, allowing full driving information to be obtained without turning one's head. Information such as speed, navigation, range, and warnings is all projected onto the road ahead. In darkness and rain-fog weather, it supports beyond-line-of-sight reminders, improving driving safety at night and in severe weather.
In terms of human-machine co-driving, Yijing X9 is equipped with the HUAWEI XMC six-domain fusion digital chassis, which is the vehicle's "smart cerebellum," coordinating six major domains: power, braking, steering, suspension, body, and thermal management. Through dual verification of assisted driving visual perception + chassis sensors, it achieves millisecond-level precise vehicle control. Paired with an all-aluminum chassis found only in million-yuan luxury cars, intelligent dual-chamber air suspension, and EDC continuously variable damping shock absorbers, it directly elevates the driving and riding experience of Yijing X9 by an order of magnitude, comparable to million-yuan flagship SUVs.
Dongfeng and Huawei join forces, combining software and hardware to create industry-leading smart driving
In the automotive industry, stacking configurations is easy, but truly integrating good technology is difficult. Yijing X9 is a strategic fusion work of full-stack native co-creation between Dongfeng Motor and Huawei Qiankun, a two-way journey between the manufacturing heritage of a central state-owned enterprise and the world's top intelligent technology forces, and a deep combination of the "strongest body" and the "strongest brain."
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Yijing X9 relies on Dongfeng Motor's 57 years of car-making accumulation to make the vehicle solid and reliable, while also inheriting Huawei Qiankun's latest and most complete full-stack intelligent automotive solution to make intelligence industry-leading. Both parties jointly define and co-create across all domains, natively connecting from the underlying architecture to the three electric systems, and from the chassis to quality control, allowing deep integration of software and hardware and truly transforming technology into a stable, coordinated, and unified vehicle experience.
It is precisely with such confidence that Yijing X9 dares to set the exam venue in real, extreme, and openly complex scenarios, and in the form of simultaneous livestreaming by more than a hundred media personnel, accept全网 scrutiny on Chongqing's smart driving hellish road sections, with the entire process open and transparent, uneditable, and impossible to redo. The test results are not parameters read out at a launch event, but the real confidence that users dare to trust, dare to drive, and dare to entrust. Yijing Auto also hopes to use this approach to drive the industry's smart driving from "daring to advertise" to "daring to verify," so that technological progress truly translates into a better experience for users.
