Yijing X9 Officially Named and Set to Debut

[New Vehicle Launch] Yijing Auto's first flagship six-seater SUV has been officially named the X9 and will make its global debut on April 23 at Huawei’s Qiankun Ecosystem Conference.

Core Development: Yijing X9 Represents Deep Co-Creation Between Dongfeng and Huawei

The vehicle measures 5.3 meters in length with a 3.1-meter wheelbase and will be among the first models equipped with Huawei’s next-generation Qiankun Intelligent Driving System, HarmonyOS Cockpit, and an 896-line LiDAR. The project was initiated in 2024, took three years to develop, and involved an investment exceeding RMB 10 billion, with joint definition, development, and operations by both parties.

Strategic Foundation: A New Full-Chain Collaboration Model Distinct from Harmony Intelligent Mobility

Huawei has opened its product development and operational systems to Yijing, contributing its IPD/IPMS methodologies, end-to-end quality control standards, and global supply chain expertise, while integrating Qiankun’s full-stack technologies—including vehicle control, in-cabin optical solutions, and cloud services.

Industry Impact: A Central SOE and Tech Giant Redefine the Benchmark for Family Vehicles

The Yijing brand was officially launched on November 20, 2025, targeting the premium family market. It is the first automotive brand co-developed through a deep strategic partnership between a central state-owned enterprise and Huawei. The first pre-production prototype rolled off the assembly line in December of last year.
