On February 12, the auto media “Auto Home” revealed spy photos of the first model from the GAC and Huawei GH project. This model is an MPV. Reports say it will feature Huawei’s advanced driving system.
The spy photos show the car’s body shape resembles the existing GAC MPV models, the Trumpchi M8 and E9. The roof features a lidar system. The hub displays GAC’s “G” logo. The rear shows the text “Xiangwang,” which may be the car’s name. Next, let’s review the collaboration milestones between GAC and Huawei.
On November 30, 2024, GAC and Huawei signed a cooperation agreement. They announced plans to create a new high-end smart electric vehicle brand. This brand will join the existing models, Trumpchi, Aion, and Haobo. GAC will use the new brand to leverage its strengths with Huawei. They will collaborate in product development, marketing, and ecosystem services.
On January 14, 2025, GAC Group General Manager Feng Xingya announced that the sixth board’s 78th meeting approved the proposal for the GH project. The company will invest to establish the GH project company with a registered capital of 1.5 billion yuan. He mentioned, “We will use this project company to integrate our strengths with Huawei. We will collaborate on product development, marketing strategies, and ecological services to create a new automotive brand based on a cutting-edge architecture and technology.” The two parties have begun joint operations. They aim to launch a series of intelligent new vehicle products. The first product will target the luxury smart new energy vehicle market at a price of 300,000 yuan (41050$). I believe this vehicle will offer consumers a forward-looking intelligent travel experience.
