The 520 CATL LiDAR Edition is equipped with a 192-line high-resolution LiDAR sensor and Qualcomm’s 8650 chip. It uses WeRide’s end-to-end large-model driver assistance solution and supports Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) in complex scenarios including highways, urban roads and rural roads. It also supports memory parking and parking in narrow spaces.
Other additions include direct tire-pressure monitoring, automatic braking to prevent rear collisions and upgraded 18-inch wheels.
In addition to their longer driving range, the 700-range variants receive further equipment upgrades, including acoustic glass for the front doors and an in-vehicle projector.
