Han Dehong, Deputy General Manager of SAIC-GM-Wuling, introduced that SAIC-GM-Wuling is focusing on the user-centric demands of "ultimate safety," "seamless intelligence," "Wuling-exclusive space," and "efficient integration." The company remains committed to user-driven innovation, having built the "Tian·Ling·Shen" technology system. Through continuous breakthroughs and forward-thinking advancements in six core key technologies—Tianling Model, Tianyu Architecture, Lingxi Powertrain, Lingmu Intelligent Driving, Lingyu Cockpit, and Shenlian Battery—it aims to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet and exceed customer expectations.

Specifically, SAIC-GM-Wuling officially unveiled the Shenlian Battery 3.0 at the launch event. In terms of extreme design, the Shenlian Battery 3.0 achieves full coverage across all user scenarios, from the battery cell to actual vehicle use. By incorporating features such as a non-flammable cell, a robust five-horizontal-and-seven-vertical structural design, CTC battery integration technology, as well as the "Shenlian Shield" and "Shenlian Armor" systems, the battery attains an unparalleled "Five-Zero Safety" standard: zero spontaneous combustion, zero thermal propagation, zero water ingress, zero intrusion, and zero leakage.

It's worth noting that, looking towards the future, Shenlian Battery 4.0 has also evolved and debuted, featuring an 800V platform, CTB, intelligent wireless BMS, and AI energy management, among other technologies. It also achieves enhanced safety through new intelligent temperature control, 3D multi-faceted thermal management, and thermoelectric separation. Shenlian Battery 4.0 will also be fully integrated with Shenlian Battery M, the world's first 6C high-manganese battery, offering a 50% charge in just 7 minutes. Combined with a unique, high-safety tab design and innovative system-combining technology, the battery's comprehensive performance in safety, performance, range, and lifespan will be further enhanced, fully supporting the widespread adoption of pure electric vehicles with ranges exceeding 1,000 kilometers.

In terms of intelligent driving technology, SAIC-GM-Wuling officially unveiled its Lingmu Intelligent Driving Technology Matrix. Built upon three distinct evolutionary paths—two-stage end-to-end architecture, interpretable end-to-end architecture, and a generative world model—the Lingmu Intelligent Driving Technology Matrix is designed with four key tiers: Basic, Standard, Advanced, and Flagship, each tailored to address diverse scenarios such as urban areas, highways, and parking environments.

Among these, the Lingmu Intelligent Driving Standard Edition supports features such as forward AEB, Highway NOA, and intelligent parking, and comes standard with City Memory Navigation and multi-level memory parking. The Lingmu Intelligent Driving Advanced Edition, on the other hand, is equipped with a higher-performance hardware platform and incorporates eight advanced active safety features, including full-speed all-around AEB and pedal misoperation prevention systems, ensuring safer journeys for users. It also enables seamless urban navigation assistance and automated valet parking functionality. Building on this, the Lingmu Intelligent Driving Flagship Edition features an even more robust safety redundancy architecture and a generative world model, delivering up to 500 TOPS of computing power. Moreover, SAIC-GM-Wuling announced at the launch event the industry's first comprehensive safety-focused intelligent driving solution tailored specifically for commercial vehicles, offering customized, secure intelligent driving strategies designed for two key commercial scenarios: manned operations and unmanned logistics.

In the realm of intelligent voice assistants, Lingyu Cabin has achieved upgrades in perception, understanding, intelligent scheduling, expression, and interaction—accelerating the widespread adoption of AI-powered cabins among consumers. According to the introduction, Lingyu AI Hub’s large-scale foundational model leverages pre-trained models, semantic stitching technology, and knowledge distillation techniques to significantly enhance perceptual efficiency. It also incorporates multi-zone dialogue separation technology along with advanced multi-zone noise-canceling algorithms, ensuring precise service for every passenger. After deeply integrating with DeepSeek, the Lingyu AI Hub’s large model efficiently manages over 14 intelligent agents through a streamlined "1+N" architecture, delivering highly accurate comprehension and lightning-fast responses—with voice response latency as low as just 0.38 seconds. At the launch event, SAIC-GM-Wuling also unveiled Lingxi Power 3.0, which focuses on seamless integration and unparalleled performance, delivering all-around excellence characterized by "lower fuel consumption when running on battery power and superior high-speed performance." This innovative solution not only upholds the pursuit of equitable access to top-tier performance but also serves as a critical enabler for making 2L fuel consumption accessible to everyone.

Lingxi Power 3.0 features a highly integrated 10-in-1 electric drive system, incorporating key components such as the P1 motor, P3 motor, dual-motor controller module, and coupling system module. This innovative design reduces the system weight by 10% while delivering a maximum torque output exceeding 4,000 N·m. Combined with active heating and pulse heating technologies, Lingxi Power 3.0 not only ensures powerful and smooth performance but also enhances charging efficiency in cold winter conditions. In terms of electronic control, Lingxi Power 3.0 leverages industry-leading silicon carbide power modules and supports seamless step-up voltage technology, boosting power density by 50% and improving efficiency by 2%, resulting in even lower fuel consumption during regenerative braking. Additionally, Lingxi Power 3.0 introduces an advanced, high-efficiency, all-domain ring-flow oil-cooling technology featuring an innovative axial-convection oil-cooling design, which increases thermal exchange efficiency by 30%—further enhancing the electric drive’s sustained power output. Meanwhile, Lingxi Power 4.0 has also made its official debut. Built on an 800V high-voltage architecture, Lingxi Power 4.0 features an 12-in-1 highly integrated electric drive system. With continuous advancements in both its integrated design and motor performance, Lingxi Power 4.0 once again pushes the boundaries, aiming to deliver class-leading performance at an accessible price point—challenging rivals in the 150,000 RMB segment with a groundbreaking capability of reaching 30,000 rpm.
At this launch event, Baojun officially kicked off pre-sales for its first "intelligent, ultra-comfortable flagship family sedan," the Baojun Xiangjing. The vehicle debuts with the advanced version of Lingmu Intelligent Driving and the Lingyu Cabin, offering two powertrain options—pure electric and plug-in hybrid—and is set to hit the market soon. As Baojun's all-new flagship family sedan, the Baojun Xiangjing integrates several cutting-edge electric and intelligent technologies, showcasing class-leading capabilities in areas such as intelligence, quality, driving dynamics, and safety.
