Gasgoo Munich- The new MG 4X hit the market on May 27, according to Gasgoo. Notably, the new MG 4X 510 Semi-Solid State Smart Enjoyment Edition and the 610 Smart Enjoyment Edition are both powered by Horizon Robotics' Journey®6E smart driving chip.
This collaboration marks another deep implementation between Horizon Robotics and SAIC Motor, following the Journey®6E's integration into several of the group's popular models in August 2025. The move further validates the product strength and market recognition of the Journey®6E.
Built on SAIC's Nebula dedicated EV platform, the new MG 4X employs a rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive layout and a five-link independent suspension. With a stable chassis and smooth handling, the vehicle is suited for scenarios ranging from city commutes to family road trips, boasting a maximum CLTC range of 610 km.

On the intelligent driving front, the MG 4X leverages the Journey®6E chip paired with a large model optimized for Chinese road conditions. Its highway NOA can accurately predict the intent of other road users and actively avoid obstacles, while smart parking supports full-scenario capabilities including DIY parking, dead-end parking, and low-speed real-time spot detection.
Serving as the core computing foundation for vehicle intelligence, the Journey®6E utilizes Horizon Robotics' third-generation BPU Nash architecture. It natively supports highway NOA, with Transformer computing efficiency jumping 10-fold compared to the previous generation. This allows it to efficiently support real-time large model operations and adapt to 4D imaging radar and 8-megapixel sensor fusion, providing a reliable guarantee for assisted driving.
The Journey®6 series has achieved full-matrix, cross-brand coverage across domestic and international markets. Multiple chips across the series have secured designations for over 400 models from more than 40 partner brands, serving over 6 million vehicle owners. They are also equipped in numerous export vehicles, marking a comprehensive global rollout.
The partnership between Horizon Robotics and SAIC Motor dates back to 2017. In 2019, SAIC participated in Horizon's Series B funding round, and the following year, the two sides established the SAIC-Horizon Joint Laboratory, laying the foundation for long-term R&D collaboration. Currently, a wide range of SAIC models feature chips from the Journey® series, covering everything from Journey®2 and Journey®3 to the latest Journey®6 lineup.
Moreover, the MG ES5, a product of this collaboration, has successfully launched in markets including the UK, Thailand, and Chile, achieving mass production of Horizon's smart driving solutions in export vehicles.
