Chengdu Auto Show’s Most Lounge-Worthy SUV Has Arrived: Qijing GX7 Makes Global Public Debut, Huawei Qiankun Safeguards the Whole Family

The 2026 Chengdu International Auto Show has officially kicked off, and Qijing—a premium intelligent electric vehicle brand jointly created by GAC Group and Huawei Qiankun—has unveiled its first SUV, the Qijing GX7, in a global public debut. The model also opened for immersive on-site experiences, and its most striking feature was immediately apparent: this is a true “bed car.” With a 20-second one-touch fold-flat function, users can easily create a sleeping space exceeding 1.8 meters in length, making the GX7 one of the most talked-about models at this year’s show.
As a strategically important model for Qijing’s entry into the mainstream family market, the GX7 is positioned as a “naturally spacious five-seater,” with the bed car concept serving as its strong cognitive anchor. The brand is proclaiming a design philosophy of “less is more—one fewer seat, one extra foot of space.” True spaciousness, the company argues, is not about exterior dimensions or numbers on a spec sheet, but about the capacity for real-life scenarios: enough room for family members to stretch out freely, and enough strength to carry the safety of the entire household.
Dual-Strength Gene Fusion Anchors a New Category Revolution
Qijing represents the first example of the “Jing” model, pioneering a new cooperation framework described as “automaker-led, jointly defined.” In this model, Huawei opens up its full-stack intelligent technologies and introduces IPD/IPMS processes, while GAC retains control over branding, product development, and manufacturing. The two parties jointly define, co-develop, and work side by side, sharing both risks and rewards. As the first brand deeply empowered by Huawei Qiankun, Qijing leverages GAC’s nearly three decades of automotive manufacturing expertise combined with Huawei Qiankun’s full-stack intelligent technologies, driving the integrated implementation of technical standards and manufacturing systems to ensure that every innovation stems from real-world driving scenarios rather than simple feature-list stacking.
The value proposition of this model is consistently aligned with the genuine needs of target users. The Qijing GX7 focuses on “emerging families in the advancement stage of life”—people who balance career ambitions with family responsibilities, who seek both driving quality and enjoyment, and who value practical space and scenario richness. The GX7 precisely identifies their core requirements, building product awareness around the bed car concept, and establishes a leading-edge value proposition through its 20-second flat-folding bed and a superior safety system.
20-Second One-Touch Flat Bed: Unlocking the First-Ever Bed Car Experience
Good space means not just roomy seating, but also the ability to truly relax. The bed car experience is the core feature of the Qijing GX7, and the industry-first 20-second one-touch fold-flat function is the backbone of that experience—making it one of the most popular attractions at the show floor.
This precision-engineered seat system employs a coordinated mechanism of seat cushion lifting, backrest recline, and synchronized leg rest and headrest adjustments, transforming the rear row into a completely flat 180-degree space in just 20 seconds. There are no protrusions, no slopes, no need for additional air mattresses, and no hassle of emptying the trunk—two 20-inch suitcases can still be stored comfortably.
This breakthrough innovation dramatically expands the possibilities of in-car scenarios: during a workday lunch break, an underground parking garage can instantly become a private resting room where adults can lie fully flat, saying goodbye to the neck and shoulder strain of napping at a desk. On the road with kids, a single tap switches to rest mode when children tire, allowing parents to attend to them with ease. On weekend camping trips, the front headrests can be removed and the front seats merged with the rear to form a “giant bunk bed,” complemented by external power supply and a built-in refrigerator, elevating camping from “sleeping somewhere else” to “living somewhere else.”
Beyond the flat-bed mode, the GX7 offers more than ten space configurations, including daily cabin mode, parent-child care mode, dual zero-gravity mode, chaise lounge mode, and storage mode, covering everything from commuting and napping to child care and camping movies—all switchable at a fingertip. Meanwhile, the first batch of vehicles comes equipped with the HarmonySpace 6 cockpit, which adds a layer of technological warmth to the versatile space. The adorable mascot “Qiqi” interacts with occupants as scenes change, and child status is monitored in real time with proactive responses, making the space’s intelligence go beyond mere form changes to touch every human-vehicle interaction. Combined with the class-exclusive four zero-gravity seats, a class-leading 1,096mm of second-row legroom, 50 storage compartments throughout the cabin, and a 10L dual-door refrigerator, every family member can find their most relaxed state inside the vehicle: one car, one mobile, fully furnished penthouse.
Class-Leading Safety Protection: Sturdy Architecture + Intelligent Technology Forge a Mobility Fortress
Safety is the foundation of mobility and the core principle running through the entire R&D cycle of the Qijing GX7. From the physical protection of the Xuandun cage body structure to the proactive prediction and cockpit safeguards enabled by Huawei Qiankun intelligence, the GX7 builds a comprehensive, class-leading safety system that underpins every scenario.
Hardcore Physical Protection: Solid Materials Form a Rigid Safety Barrier
The Qijing booth displays a body-in-white and a cutaway vehicle, laying bare the safety core, steel materials, and force-path design that are normally hidden beneath interior trim and panels—making the protective strength immediately visible.
The GX7 adopts a Xuandun cage body structure, with high-strength steel and aluminum alloy accounting for 90.3% of the body. Key areas of the passenger compartment are fully covered with 2200MPa hot-formed steel, capable of withstanding 13.8 tons of top-pressure without deformation. Integrated hot-formed door rings, dual side-impact door beams, and elephant-trunk front longitudinal beams create a complete “ten horizontal, nine vertical” force-path architecture that efficiently disperses and absorbs collision energy, forming a rigid armor for all occupants.
On the passive protection front, the new car comes standard with 11 airbags—the most in its class—covering everything from knees to head. A 2.3-meter-long side curtain airbag extends from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, deploying with a 65L volume to create an instant cushion. A unique seat-cushion airbag is specifically designed for reclined resting scenarios, firmly securing occupants in position during a collision, ensuring safety even during midday naps or camping lounging.
Building on this foundation, the GX7 also covers battery, unlocking, health, and privacy safety dimensions: the standard CATL battery features a 26-layer protective structure and thermal-electric separation architecture, with water-submersion safety standards far exceeding national requirements. The maternal-infant-grade eco-friendly cabin has passed authoritative environmental certifications and zero-formaldehyde certification, paired with MOFs filters for continuous air purification. Four-redundancy collision unlocking and multi-account privacy isolation further embed safety into every detail of vehicle usage.
Intelligent Safety Empowerment: Huawei Qiankun Technology Enables Proactive Risk Avoidance
With full-stack technological empowerment from Huawei Qiankun, the GX7 deeply integrates intelligent technology into its safety systems, upgrading protection from passive response to proactive prediction—using technology to safeguard every family journey.
For driving safety, the new car is equipped with a class-exclusive four LiDAR units and 38 high-performance sensors, employing a full-chain redundant architecture. Among them, the 896-line dual-optical-path image-grade LiDAR can accurately identify small obstacles as small as 14cm at a distance of 120 meters, allowing early detection of highway debris or sudden urban road conditions. Combined with Huawei Qiankun’s ADS 5 intelligent driving system and WEWA 2.0 algorithm, along with the comprehensive CAS 5.0 collision avoidance system, the GX7 delivers full-scenario intelligent driving assistance across urban roads, highways, and parking, predicting risks in advance and intervening to avoid them, reducing fatigue and risk on long journeys.
For cockpit protection, the first-batch HarmonySpace 6 system also embeds safety and care into the details. The cabin’s integrated sensing system monitors rear-seat child status in real time, enabling seat anti-pinch protection, dangerous behavior alerts, and sleep care functions. The system helps keep an eye on children in the back seat, reducing driver distraction and enabling more focused driving.
Full-Spectrum Strength: A Benchmark Family SUV Without Compromise
Beyond the bed car experience and class-leading safety, the Qijing GX7 demonstrates superior capabilities in design, powertrain, and driving dynamics, comprehensively addressing the diverse needs of family users.
In design, the 5,099mm body length paired with a 3,070mm ultra-long wheelbase creates a wide, low-slung sports car stance with a 60% golden wheelbase-to-length ratio and a 1.130 width-to-height ratio. The original two-stage roofline balances headroom with sleek aesthetics, while the Qijing Wings full-width taillight and Lingmou headlights echo the family’s design language. Six exterior colors and three interior themes offer both warm family textures and refined premium styling. The interior adopts a wraparound cockpit design with warm, natural bamboo-grain trim, while retaining practical elements like mechanical air vents and physical buttons for precise blind operation.
In terms of powertrain and range, the class-exclusive high-performance three-motor system delivers 550kW peak power, achieving 3-second-class 0-100km/h acceleration with power on demand for highway overtaking, hill climbing, and cornering. The standard CATL battery offers a pure-electric CLTC range of 385km and a combined range exceeding 1,500km+, paired with 800V 5C ultra-fast charging that replenishes 30% to 80% in under 10 minutes. The Huawei Chitu AI suspension and front double-wishbone + rear H-arm multi-link chassis balance handling precision with ride comfort, ensuring every family journey is smooth and composed.
