SAIC Motor Corporation Limited and Huawei Consumer Business Group are set to deepen their partnership on the Shangjie brand. SAIC will invest an extra 1 billion yuan to enhance the intelligence quotient of its dedicated Shangjie factory in Jinqiao. This facility, a linchpin in SAIC’s strategy for large passenger vehicles, was constructed in line with Industry 4.0 benchmarks and boasts a planned annual production capacity of 200,000 units. Post-upgrade, its intelligent manufacturing prowess will see a significant boost.

Shangjie, a brand under the Hongmeng Intelligent Automotive Solutions umbrella jointly unveiled by SAIC and Huawei in April 2025, has already seen SAIC commit a dedicated workforce of 5,000 and a cumulative investment of 7 billion yuan to its development. From January to August 2026, Shangjie’s cumulative wholesale sales soared past the 50,000-unit mark, achieving a channel coverage rate of 75% and nearly full penetration in first-, second-, and third-tier cities. Its current lineup caters to the mainstream new energy vehicle market, with prices ranging from 150,000 to 300,000 yuan.

The upcoming new mid-to-large-sized family SUV model, tailored for new middle-class families in first- and second-tier cities, will be outfitted with Huawei’s cutting-edge intelligent mobility solutions. Its market debut is slated for autumn 2026.
