Huajing S has completed its final round of winter testing. Is the first "Huaxian" car from Wuling really coming?
Last year, Huawei clarified the rumor that "Huajing, a sub-brand of Baojun, is Huawei's 'Three Realms' series." However, the Huajing brand is indeed a product of the deepened "Three Smart" strategy cooperation between SAIC-GM-Wuling and Huawei. In 2026, information about the Huajing brand has been very dense. After Huajing S was listed on the Gan Kun APP and released multiple new car data, SAIC-GM-Wuling Baojun recently released a set of unmasked real car pictures of Huajing S in its final round of winter testing. Based on this information, let's review again: What kind of new car is Huajing S? Can its appearance change the market pattern of large six-seat SUVs?
The real car has made a full appearance. Besides being large, what else does Huajing S have?
After the real car was unveiled, we found that Huajing S, the true flagship SUV of Baojun, does not follow the tech style like other "New Energy 9 Series" models.
From the overall design tone of the new car, Huajing S still leans towards a traditional model. There is nothing "out of the ordinary" about the large front grille and traditional mechanical door handles.
Looking at the details of the exterior, we also see that the paint of Huajing S has very high brightness and saturation. This car is likely to use an eight-layer coating process and BASF clear coat material.
So, after maintaining a relatively traditional design, the overall size and presence of Huajing S are on par with the flagship models of other brands in the 9 Series. Additionally, according to the official information, the length, width, and height of Huajing S are 5235/1999/1800mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm. The cabin adopts a large six-seat layout. However, at present, Baojun has not released the interior design information of the new car, but it can be expected that as the largest flagship model under Baojun, the interior design and materials of Huajing S will also follow a high-end route.
If we have to predict the interior style of Huajing S, I think we can refer to the interior of Baojun's flagship sedan, Xiangjing. Huajing S is likely to adopt a wraparound cabin design like Xiangjing and use soft materials in the upper part of the seat line to ensure the flagship atmosphere of the vehicle.
With the support of Wuling's cutting-edge technology, Huajing S is inherently a flagship model.
In the past two decades, the Wuling and Baojun brands under SAIC-GM-Wuling have always been committed to creating high-value-for-money models. However, the large-scale production of high-value-for-money models does not mean that Wuling and Baojun lack the ability to manufacture high-end models. On the contrary, after the launch of the "125 Project," Wuling has established a national-level new energy laboratory, a dual-million product matrix, and five hundred-billion-yuan industrial clusters.
With the enhancement of system strength and scale, SAIC-GM-Wuling uses the Smart Island manufacturing system to create Huajing S. In this production system, not only does it adopt a new island flexible production structure, but it also fully integrates advanced manufacturing technologies such as Wifi6, 3D vision, and laser radar measurement, bringing a manufacturing precision of 0.1mm to Huajing S.
Based on this, it is not difficult to judge that Huajing S truly has the confidence of a flagship model.
In terms of technology, Huajing S is based on the Tianyu Architecture L platform and will be equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid power system, with an engine power of 105kW. According to the vehicle's flagship positioning, the new car is also expected to be equipped with a dual-motor power system and Wuling's Shenlian Battery 3.0 technology.
In addition to advanced production processes and core technology upgrades, Huajing S is also a "strictly selected supplier model." SAIC-GM-Wuling has collaborated with global top-tier supply chain partners such as Magna, Autoliv, Michelin, and Wanxiang Marelli, achieving a comprehensive upgrade in material quality from shock absorbers to tires, and from body frames to window glass. This also gives us confidence in the potential of the Huajing S to enter the mid-to-high-end market.
With a full suite of Huawei technologies on board, how will the first "Wuling-Huawei" vehicle perform?
For most consumers, the greatest anticipation for the Huajing S lies in its adoption of Huawei's leading full-stack intelligent technology standards. In terms of configuration, this vehicle will be equipped with Huawei's Kunpeng ADS 4 advanced driving assistance system, HarmonyOS cockpit 5, and Kunpeng vehicle cloud HUAWEI IVCS.
Regarding the advanced driving assistance system, the Huajing S is equipped with the Pro version of the Kunpeng ADS 4 system. The core of this version lies in the use of in-cabin laser vision sensors, which further enhances its urban and highway navigation assistance capabilities as well as active safety features. Starting from the Huajing S, over 20 models are expected to adopt the new in-cabin laser vision solution by 2026.
As for the intelligent cockpit, there's no need for further elaboration. HarmonyOS cockpit 5 has been widely adopted in many mid-to-high-end models, and its seamless transfer capabilities of mobile apps and hardware expansion capabilities have reached the top level in the industry. With the arrival of the Huajing S, "Huawei full-stack" vehicles are also expected to see a new round of popularization.
Based on the current product information, the Baojun Huajing S is not only the first large-sized SUV in the SAIC-GM-Wuling brand portfolio but also a representative work of quality advancement. From intelligent manufacturing to size definition and the Huawei ecosystem, the Huajing S has reached the level of over 300,000 yuan. However, SAIC-GM-Wuling's forte is to turn expensive models into "people's cars" through systematic strength. Therefore, we have greater expectations for the Huajing S, hoping it can truly become a "national Huajing SUV" that everyone can afford and enjoy a comfortable ride for the whole family.
