Construction is accelerating. According to the third Q&A, stores are expected to begin trial operations by the end of April, with official openings rolling out in early May. Display units of the brand's first shooting brake coupe will arrive simultaneously, allowing consumers to experience the vehicle firsthand—a model the company touts for its "million-yuan aesthetics." The car is set to debut this April, with a formal market launch scheduled for June 2026.
Qijing has unveiled an ambitious blueprint for its channel strategy. The brand aims to establish a network of over 300 stores across 70 cities before its first model hits the market. This network will comprise two distinct formats: 100 User Centers offering end-to-end service—covering pre-sales, sales, and after-sales support—and 200 Experience Centers, including directly operated flagship stores. These Experience Centers will primarily target core business districts to facilitate test drives and vehicle viewing.
Born from a deep collaboration between GAC Group and Huawei, Qijing will equip its entire lineup with Huawei's intelligent automotive solutions. By clearly outlining the roadmap for its offline service network in this Q&A, the brand signals a steady transition from the R&D phase to market implementation—laying the groundwork ahead of its debut model's launch.
