The Baojun Yep Zhizun edition is equipped with the Lingxi intelligent driving system, which represents deep integration of Wuling’s and DJI's technologies.

One of the notable features of the Lingxi intelligent driving system is the memory parking function, which memorizes the route from a specific point to a fixed parking space. When the vehicle re-enters the memorized route, it can autonomously perform a series of operations under the driver's supervision, including driving through the parking lot, maintaining a safe distance, maneuvering around obstacles, avoiding pedestrians, and parking in the designated space. This function can be operational at both indoor and outdoor parking lots.

The Lingxi intelligent driving system contains a pair of forward-looking stereoscopic binocular cameras, a forward millimeter-wave radar, four ultra-wide-angle surround-view cameras, twelve ultrasonic radars, and a vehicle-level domain controller. With its industry-leading integrated pilot and parking solution, it delivers a safe and effortless intelligent driving experience.

Besides, the system also brings intelligent driving assistance capabilities for the speed range of 0-80km/h, including advanced lane-keeping, lever-based lane changing, intelligent speed adjustment for curves, obstacle recognition and response, close-range merging assistance, and human-machine co-driving functions, which are available for chaotic lane conditions. In terms of parking assistance, it can recognize and park in vertical, parallel, and horizontal parking spaces at any angle. In addition, the system can intelligently plan parking routes under extreme parking situations. The average parking time is only 30 seconds, making it user-friendly and highly practical.

Furthermore, the Baojun Yep Zhizun edition supports the memory parking function, allowing users to supervise the Lingxi intelligent driving system as it autonomously drives and parks the vehicle in the target parking space, so as to reduce driver fatigue and stress.

The vehicle supports both fast and slow charging modes, and fast charging from 30% to 80% of the battery capacity takes only 35 minutes.
