Heart-stirring at First Glance: Interpreting the Unique Aesthetics of Coexisting Hardness and Softness with the "Refined Toughness" Philosophy
The XINGTAN 5X adopts "Refined Toughness" as its design philosophy, breaking the stereotype that "boxy equals rugged." The XINGTAN 5X commands presence with a military-grade skeleton and an upright stance, and conveys quality through harmonious body proportions, dynamic surfaces, and crisp lines. To perfect every detail, the daytime running lights underwent over 300 design adjustments and more than 20 rounds of physical verification, while the side windows were revised over a hundred times, pursuing excellence in every detail. The high-level intelligent assisted driving solid-state LiDAR is cleverly positioned behind the front windshield, balancing design integrity with practical experience. With a length of 4,865mm, width of 2,000mm, and height of 1,910mm, it creates an upright and imposing body stance, demonstrating solid and reliable product confidence.
In terms of aesthetic expression, Jia Wei, art consultant and designer of the XINGTAN 5X, further interpreted the "coexistence of hardness and softness" design philosophy of the XINGTAN 5X. He believes that "hardness" is like a mountain, representing steady and upright strength; "softness" is like a lake, symbolizing inclusive and expansive warmth. In terms of design, the XINGTAN 5X shapes a rugged character through square contours, a flat roof, and upright pillars, while balancing strength and approachability through rounded corners, zero-gap flush side windows, and warm cabin materials and comfort features. The XINGTAN 5X pursues "rugged exterior, warm interior," allowing the rugged design to both display strength and carry the warmth of family life.
In terms of exterior color options, the XINGTAN 5X offers seven choices: Morning Mist Gray, Cangling Green, Distant Lake Blue, Sunset Orange, Jinghu Silver, Starry Night Black, and Snowline White. The interior continues the "Refined Toughness" design philosophy, offering three color schemes: Warm Velvet Beige, Cloud Shadow Gray, and Amber Orange, showcasing strength while balancing the cabin's warm atmosphere and quality texture.

In terms of space, the XINGTAN 5X boasts an 88.6% cabin "utilization rate," with an effective cabin height of 1,307mm—no headroom issues in the front and no cramped legs in the rear. Even a 1.8-meter-tall adult can easily cross their legs in the back seat. The trunk height is nearly 1 meter, allowing a 27-inch mountain bike or a high-profile baby stroller to be pushed in directly; the maximum extended storage volume reaches 2,065 liters, and the pure electric version also features a 96-liter independent front trunk. The vehicle has 61 storage spaces throughout, accommodating both large equipment and daily item organization.

In terms of intelligent experience, the XINGTAN 5X is equipped with the Yuanjing AI cockpit that supports continuous execution of multiple commands, allowing users to easily adjust seat massage, air conditioning, music, and other functions through natural voice interaction. In the future, the intelligent cockpit will continue to evolve, capable of automatically matching merchants and ordering coffee based on the user's estimated arrival time and personalized habits, so that the coffee arrives just as they reach the office, extending intelligent services to life scenarios outside the vehicle.
Composed All the Way: Equipped with Huawei Qiankun ADS™ 5 Pro, Creating a Full-Scenario Intelligent Box
The XINGTAN 5X becomes the industry's first pure electric box vehicle equipped with Huawei Qiankun ADS™ 5 Pro high-level intelligent assisted driving, enhancing composure across all scenarios by addressing high-frequency user needs such as handling complex road conditions, reducing fatigue on long drives, and parking in narrow spaces.
The new vehicle is equipped with 27 perception sensors, integrating the perceptual advantages of LiDAR, cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and ultrasonic radar, and industry-first "one-lens dual-mode" technology, which simultaneously achieves ranging and imaging through a single set of lenses, improving environmental perception efficiency. Even in nighttime environments, it can identify obstacles such as cats, dogs, cardboard boxes, and traffic cones approximately 30 centimeters tall from over 100 meters away in advance, buying more time for vehicle judgment and response.
Targeting sudden risks and complex scenarios in daily driving, the XINGTAN 5X is equipped with the Comprehensive Anti-Collision System CAS 5.0, which can identify and predict risks such as "ghost probes" at unprotected intersections; in environments with limited visibility such as heavy rain or low light, it can also identify obstacles ahead and avoid danger in time. In addition, the trajectory reversing function supports automatic reversing along the original path for up to 120 meters, helping users handle challenges such as narrow alleys and insufficient turning space, making forward and backward movements more composed.
Peace of Mind for a Lifetime: With Safety as the Foundation, Expanding the Boundaries of Family Travel

The battery pack is positioned in a safety zone 35mm above the sub-frame, with high-strength anti-collision beams and protective plates at the bottom, and an eight-transverse two-longitudinal cage-type body frame that firmly protects the battery pack within the body skeleton, leaving ample safety margin; it is equipped with Huawei Qiankun intelligent driving assistance system, featuring 24 active safety functions.
The XINGTAN 5X offers a high seating position and wide field of view.
