In the winter test at minus 30 degrees with a full load of passengers, what's the "trick" of the Huajing S, which is highly Huawei-integrated?

When six fully - occupied Huajing S test vehicles appeared in Heihe, the fruits of the cooperation between SAIC - GM - Wuling and Huawei got a step closer to us.

Since the second half of 2025, the "large six - seat" SUVs in the Chinese auto market have entered a period of concentrated explosion. Both leading brands and new forces have flocked into the market. For a while, the "large six - seat" models with various characteristics were overwhelming, and the market was extremely bustling. However, in this wave of new cars, the brand that always considers the people was unexpectedly "quiet".

Laboratory data is ultimately less reliable than real - world tests

Recently, the Huajing S conducted a full - scale extremely cold test at the Heihe test - driving base at minus 30 degrees Celsius, telling us that this new car, which is set to be launched in the first half of this year, is accelerating its process of meeting us. The previous "silence" was not because it couldn't keep up with the pace, but because it was preparing to make a strong comeback.

It's not something new to conduct winter tests before a new car is launched. However, the test items in this "winter exam" of the Huajing S are really "something special".

"Focusing on real - world scenarios" is the key word of this test. In the "perilous" winter travel, compared with cool features, what we need more is a vehicle that can be relied on in critical moments. The Huajing S chose to carry out the test with a full six - seat occupancy. This "full - intensity" setting puts forward higher requirements for the vehicle and also intuitively demonstrates the confidence of the Huajing S in its own strength.

The snow - field moose test and the serpentine slalom project simulate the scenario of suddenly avoiding obstacles during a full - occupancy winter trip. Sudden situations can cause the vehicle's center of gravity to shift rapidly, and drivers may easily lose precise control of the vehicle in a panic. At this time, only when the vehicle stability system intervenes quickly and accurately distributes the torque output of the front and rear axles can the vehicle be kept in a stable state.

The Huajing S did not experience out - of - control skidding or significant roll during the test, mainly due to its solid chassis tuning and excellent vehicle stability system. Even if one - side wheels slip, it can quickly adjust the power output, which gives the driver sufficient confidence to always keep the vehicle under control.

The 20% split - friction slope and the 30% snow - covered slope are relatively extreme scenarios in winter travel. Ordinary vehicles simply cannot climb such slopes. Although we haven't seen extensive publicity about the intelligent four - wheel drive ability of the Huajing S before, on the split - friction slope, the Huajing S can quickly identify the difference in road surface adhesion, intelligently adjust the power output of the front and rear axles, and control the tire slippage to a minimum, achieving stable climbing and efficient escape on the slope. In this winter test, the Huajing S achieved "stability, climbability, and precise control" in multiple projects. This performance of transforming chassis tuning and four - wheel drive technology into intuitive sense of security is exactly the product quality that a flagship model should have.

As the first masterpiece of the in - depth integration of SAIC - GM - Wuling and Huawei's "Three Intelligences", the Huajing S is standard - equipped with Huawei's Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 4 system across the entire lineup. This system demonstrated strong environmental adaptability during the test. Low temperatures can reduce the sensitivity of sensors, and backlighting and snow reflection can interfere with visual recognition. However, the Huajing S still accurately detected obstacles in the AEB test of a stationary child at night with backlighting on a snow - covered road, made timely warnings, and stopped smoothly, demonstrating the reliable strength of a first - tier driving assistance system.

In the extremely cold Heihe, the Huajing S actually had many opportunities to show off visually, but it still chose to focus on high - frequency winter travel scenarios and the real needs of users throughout the process, continuing the "legendary vehicle" gene of SAIC - GM - Wuling. This winter test not only verified the reliability of the Huajing S's four - wheel drive system and intelligent driving system but also injected a quality "booster" for subsequent mass production, delivery, and users' car - buying decisions.

Intelligent manufacturing provides the framework, and Huawei injects the soul

The Huajing S is the in - depth integration of two systems. Letting professionals handle professional matters will ultimately achieve the effect of 1 + 1 > 2.

The Huajing S's ability to handle the harsh winter test calmly is not the result of a single technological breakthrough but the inevitable outcome of the in - depth integration of SAIC - GM - Wuling and Huawei's "Three Intelligences", the upgrade of the intelligent manufacturing system, and the collaboration of the global top - level supply chain. As the only representative of a complete vehicle enterprise on the national first - batch cultivation list of "Pilot - level Intelligent Factories", SAIC - GM - Wuling has broken the traditional assembly - line operation mode and reconstructed the production logic with the mode of process decoupling and production line reconstruction.

The Huajing S produced here not only has improved manufacturing efficiency and more mature cost control but also has an assembly accuracy comparable to the thickness of a hair. SAIC - GM - Wuling has incorporated the scenario insights of 31 million users and mature vehicle manufacturing experience into it, and efficiently coordinated with global top - level supply chains such as Bosch, Michelin, Autoliv, Harman, and BASF, creating the foundation for the Huajing S's tough mechanical qualities and making it possible to have "high - end configurations as standard".

In September 2025, SAIC - GM - Wuling and Huawei reached a strategic cooperation on the "Three Intelligences" of "intelligent manufacturing, assisted driving, and intelligent cockpit", forming a complementary model of "the intelligent manufacturing ability of an industry leader + the intelligent technology of the first tier". Huawei's Qiankun ADS 4, Hongmeng Cockpit 5, and Qiankun Vehicle - Cloud System have become standard equipment across the entire lineup of the Huajing S.

Huawei's Qiankun ADS 4 can accurately match the daily car - using scenarios of ordinary consumers, bringing first - tier driving assistance performance to the Huajing S. At the same time, as the first flagship product of the strategic cooperation between the two parties, the Huajing S is also among the first to be equipped with Huawei's in - cabin laser vision (Limera) technology, which can solve the industry pain point of identifying low - lying obstacles during night driving and greatly improve the safety redundancy in complex scenarios.

This clear - cut division of labor and complementary - advantage cooperation model allows the Huajing S to develop comprehensively in terms of both "physical" and "intelligent" aspects. It not only avoids the shortcomings of traditional automakers in intelligent transformation but also circumvents the experience blind spots of technology companies in cross - border car - building. This upgrade of system capabilities will be the strongest foundation for the Huajing S in the highly competitive market.

From "following and running side by side" to "leading in innovation"

The successful winter test of the Huajing S verifies the feasibility of this closed - loop model of "intelligent manufacturing - supply chain collaboration - extreme performance verification". It is neither the self - research closed - loop of traditional automakers nor simple technology stacking, but reconstructs the logic of creating domestic high - end models for us.

For a long time, Chinese brands have often fallen into the strange circle of "stacking configurations and high premiums" when aiming for the high - end market. The Huajing S has broken through this dilemma through the upgrade of system capabilities. It shows us another possibility besides raising the price and stacking configurations, providing a replicable model of cross - border integration for the Chinese auto industry.

The path to high - end development of Chinese intelligent manufacturing has never been about the success of a single model but the comprehensive leap of system capabilities. The Huajing S has achieved a full - chain connection of "user needs - technology implementation - quality verification". The popularization of this model will push the Chinese auto industry to truly move from "following and running side by side" to "leading in innovation". In the wave of global auto industry reconstruction, products like the Huajing S can not only help Chinese brands gain a firm foothold in the high - end market but also enable "Made in China" to have the core strength to go global.

The successful conclusion of the Heihe winter test has further accelerated the mass - production process of the Huajing S, and the countdown to the official launch of this new car this year has begun. This flagship model, which combines the manufacturing strength of SAIC - GM - Wuling and the intelligent technology of Huawei, has dispelled users' concerns with its reliable performance in extreme environments and set a benchmark for the industry with its innovative cross - border integration model. It will not only become a key product for SAIC - GM - Wuling to enter the high - end market but also drive the entire industry to develop in a healthy direction of "competing on value rather than price".
