On February 20, 2025, the Hongmeng Intelligent Driving Technology Conference launched several core technologies for “autonomous intelligence.” It introduced the Tuling Longxing platform, the Angel Seat Active Safety Protection System, and Xinghe Communication. The event also upgraded the Hongmeng ALPS Cockpit 2.0, Huawei Car Language System 2.0, and Huawei Giant Whale Battery 2.0. This marks a new leap in smart cars from passive intelligence to autonomous intelligence.
In 2024, China’s luxury car market thrived like never before, reaching a scale of 4.5 million units. In this competitive market, Chinese brands like Hongmeng Zhixing, NIO, and Li Auto showed strong strength. They captured 15% of the luxury car segment priced above 400,000 yuan (55190$). This marks the rise of Chinese luxury car brands.
In this context, the launch of the ZunJie S800 injects new energy into the luxury and ultra-luxury car market. This ultra-luxury model combines luxury and technology. The design stands out. It also upgrades intelligence, power performance, and comfort. The goal is to provide consumers with an unprecedented driving experience.
In the traditional ultra-luxury car market, brand heritage, craftsmanship, and luxury features defined “top-tier.” The launch of the Hongmeng Intelligent Zun Jie S800 disrupts this norm with “independent intelligent” technology. It introduces six core technologies that redefine the boundaries of smart cars. The Zun Jie S800 showcases China’s strong emergence in the ultra-luxury sector. The Tuling Longxing platform leads as the first independent intelligent digital chassis. The Zun Jie S800 features this innovative platform. It achieves real-time perception, intelligent reasoning, and autonomous learning. Drivers experience unprecedented mobility, safety, comfort, and flexibility. Its integrated architecture uses centralized control and millisecond responses. This enables the vehicle to “anticipate the future,” revolutionizing from “passive response” to “active decision-making.”
The TuLing Longxing platform actively perceives its surroundings. It collects real-time data on road conditions, vehicles, and driver intentions. This data supports intelligent decision-making. The central control feature enables integrated decisions with millisecond response times. This ensures quick reactions to complex road situations. The smart reasoning function allows the vehicle to learn driver habits and preferences. This provides a more personalized driving experience. The autonomous learning feature continually optimizes algorithms. It enhances performance and keeps the vehicle at the forefront of the industry.
The Tuling Longxing platform leads in anti-slip stability control. It features autonomous intelligent collaborative control. This system ensures vehicles stay on course and avoid skidding, even on complex icy roads. The innovative spatiotemporal reasoning suspension network adjusts the suspension based on future road conditions. This enhances ride comfort to the highest level. Additionally, the Tuling Longxing platform supports omnidirectional comfort control. It prevents body roll during turns, keeps the vehicle level during acceleration, and avoids dipping during braking. Drivers and passengers enjoy speed and excitement while feeling at home in comfort.
Achieve a global maximum crab angle of 16°. Easily handle narrow roads and tight parking spaces. The 5.05-meter turning radius is the smallest in its class, offering more agility than A0 class vehicles. It can even achieve a tighter turning radius of 3.8 meters, making U-turns on two-lane roads effortless. Active safety protection: A new benchmark for intelligent safety. The ZhiJie S800 features an L3 intelligent driving architecture. It includes high-precision perception hardware: four lidar units, one set of distributed millimeter-wave radar, eleven visual cameras, twelve ultrasonic radars, and two corner millimeter-wave radars. This setup enhances the vehicle’s omnidirectional collision avoidance capability. The design incorporates full redundancy for safety, ensuring stability in extreme conditions.
The Angel Seat Active Safety Protection System is the industry’s first autonomous intelligent safety system. It features innovative all-dimensional, full-link protection technology. This system monitors collision risks from multiple directions in real time. When a collision is unavoidable, it adjusts the seat position, tightens the seatbelt, raises the windows, unlocks the central lock, and alters the vehicle’s posture to minimize injury. After a collision, the vehicle switches to a redundant power source, makes emergency calls, and reports rescue information. This helps passengers escape quickly and receive assistance. It also protects owner information end-to-end, ensuring privacy and security.
The Angel Seat active safety protection system identifies obstacles more precisely. It warns of risks from negative and suspended obstacles. It can avoid risks from ditches, steps, charging piles, and fire hydrants, even at low speeds. This innovation elevates smart safety to a new level. Xinghe Communication: A new experience in terrestrial and satellite connectivity. The RZ S800 features the Huawei Xinghe communication system. This is the first autonomous smart vehicle communication system in the industry. It offers dual-network standby for ground communication. The signal is stronger and coverage is wider. It supports fast reconnection and weak network acceleration, ensuring seamless communication for passengers in any situation.
The advanced Xinghe communication system innovatively provides distributed in-vehicle satellite communication. Passengers can use calls and texts even without WLAN or mobile data. The car’s satellite calling capability shares with mobile phones. Passengers can maintain calls up to 30 meters away from the vehicle. This feature keeps passengers connected in remote areas and elevates in-car communication to a new level. Huawei Car Voice System 2.0: A new intelligent interaction experience. The Ruijie S800 features Huawei’s Car Voice System 2.0, the most powerful autonomous intelligent interaction system to date. It includes the HUAWEI XPIXEL smart interaction headlights. The dual lights merge 2.6 million pixels with a clarity of 0.4 MTF at a projection distance of 3 meters. This design ensures precise shielding, reduces glare, and enhances safety. It also offers new interaction experiences through dynamic light carpets for navigation guidance, driving intent communication, pedestrian safety alerts, and rescue communication.
Huawei’s Car Language System 2.0 integrates with HUAWEI ADS and NearLink technology for seamless interaction with the outside world. It communicates intentions during smart driving and provides rescue prompts in emergencies. Smart interactive headlights convey information in real-time, ensuring a safer and more reliable driving environment for passengers. Harmony OS ALPS Cabin 2.0: A Model of Autonomous Smart Purification The Hongqi S800 features the Harmony OS ALPS Cabin 2.0. It uses a dual-layer air circulation system and innovative adsorption materials to purify odors and neutralize harmful gases. The system detects odors, bacteria, viruses, and pollutants. It autonomously purifies the cabin, creating a fresh and healthy environment for passengers.

This series of innovative technologies boosts the battery’s performance and safety, allowing the Zun Jie S800 to stand out in a competitive market.
The launch of the Zun Jie S800 reveals a trend. In the wave of electrification and intelligence, super luxury car competition shifts from “brand premium” to “technology premium.” Traditional car companies that cling to mechanical performance and craftsmanship risk losing market share. Huawei, through its “independent intelligence” technology ecosystem, shows that Chinese companies can redefine the market landscape with innovation. In the future, players who integrate cutting-edge technology with user experience may define super luxury cars. The Zun Jie S800 leads this new era.
