The company also kicked off pre-sales for its new flagship family sedan, the Baojun Xiangjing, which features Lingmou Intelligent Driving (Advanced Edition) and the Lingyu Cockpit.

Shenlian Battery

The newly introduced Shenlian Battery 3.0 emphasizes safety through extreme design, manufacturing, and validation, achieving "Five-Zero Safety" (zero combustion, diffusion, water ingress, intrusion, and leakage) via fireproof cells, a five-horizontal-seven-vertical structural layout, and integrated CTC (cell-to-chassis) technology.

Looking ahead, the Shenlian Battery 4.0 will feature 800V high-voltage architecture, CTB (cell-to-body) integration, AI-based energy management, and wireless BMS (battery management system). It will be powered by the 6C high-manganese battery, capable of recharging 50% in 7 minutes, with over 1,000 km of range targeted.

Lingmou Intelligent Driving

On the intelligent driving front, SGMW introduced the full Lingmou tech matrix. Built on a two-stage end-to-end architecture, the system scales across four levels: Basic, Standard, Advanced, and Flagship.

The Standard Edition offers AEB, highway NOA (navigation on autopilot), smart parking, and memory-based urban navigation, while the Advanced Edition adds eight active safety features, door-to-door smart driving, and valet parking. SGMW also debuted the industry's first intelligent driving solution tailored for commercial vehicles, covering both manned and unmanned logistics.

Lingyu Cockpit

The Lingyu Cockpit, powered by SGMW's self-developed Lingyu AI large model, delivers enhanced in-car interactions with faster, more precise voice recognition and multi-passenger response. It integrates a "1+N" architecture coordinating over 14 smart agents, enabling 0.38-second response time.
