en.Wedoany.com Reported - On July 20, the first mass-produced Yijing X9 rolled off the assembly line at the Chengdu plant in Sichuan. The model was developed by Dongfeng Group and Huawei under a "state-owned automaker + Huawei Qiankun" full-stack native co-creation model, involving joint definition, joint development, joint office work, and joint marketing. This cooperation model was launched in 2023, with an investment of tens of billions of yuan and a joint innovation team of 5,000 people.
Positioned as a new-generation family flagship SUV, the Yijing X9 has a body length of 5,301 mm and a wheelbase of 3,120 mm, featuring a large six-seat layout. In terms of safety, it debuts the Tianqiong Intelligent Shield safety architecture, covering six dimensions: intelligent driving, active safety, passive safety, battery safety, rescue, and health. The passive safety section uses 2,400 MPa ultra-high-strength steel, while the battery safety section is equipped with three-layer bulletproof armor. The Yijing X9 also features an integrated mechanical-capacitive door handle and a cloud-based SOS system, extending protection across all phases—before, during, and after an incident.
In terms of intelligent features, the Huawei Qiankun full-stack intelligent solution is standard across all Yijing X9 trims, including the Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 5 and an 896-line dual-optical-path image-grade LiDAR, as well as the first deployment of the HarmonySpace 6 cockpit system. This intelligent configuration is natively integrated with the vehicle's hardware system to enhance system smoothness.
On June 15, Yijing announced its partnership as the official Chinese regional partner of the Argentina national football team. During the collaboration, Yijing integrated AI technology into event promotion, creating the AI-generated song "Ameijing" and a video scenario featuring the football king driving a Yijing vehicle. Starting from the round of 16, Yijing launched a "One X9 for Every Goal Argentina Scores" campaign, giving away a total of 8 vehicles. Dongfeng Group General Manager Feng Changjun stated at the Yijing X9 rollout that the company will proceed with the spirit of driving nails—striking steadily and making solid progress step by step. On July 20, the Argentina national team faced a crucial match on the same day, and the first mass-produced Yijing X9 rolled off the line. The model will subsequently be delivered to initial family users.
