BYD’s Fangchengbao Offers Big Discount on Huawei Qiankun Driving System

BYD’s off-road EV brand Fangchengbao (SZ:002594) is rolling out a major promotion in July, slashing the price of Huawei’s Qiankun Advanced Driving System package by over 60%.

Customers who purchase a Fangchengbao vehicle this month can add the Huawei Qiankun assisted driving package for just 12,000 yuan ($1,676), down from the original price of 32,000 yuan ($4,466). This limited-time 20,000 yuan ($2,790) discount significantly boosts the value proposition for tech-savvy car buyers seeking advanced autonomous driving features.

The Qiankun system, developed by Huawei, is known for its cutting-edge driver assistance and autonomous capabilities. It enhances safety, navigation, and driving comfort, making it a sought-after upgrade in China’s increasingly competitive smart EV market.

Fangchengbao’s strategic move highlights BYD’s push to attract premium buyers by bundling high-tech features at more accessible prices. As competition intensifies between Chinese automakers and tech companies like Huawei, such collaborations are becoming a key selling point.

The promotion comes as BYD continues to lead China’s EV market, though it faces growing pressure from rivals such as NIO, Li Auto, and Xiaomi’s new electric models. This aggressive pricing strategy could help Fangchengbao capture more market share in the off-road EV segment while boosting Huawei’s visibility in the automotive tech space.

Interested buyers must place their orders before the end of July to secure the discounted package. The offer is exclusive to Fangchengbao vehicles and may be a test case for broader collaborations between BYD and Huawei in the future.

This initiative reflects a growing trend of integration between automotive and tech giants, driving innovation and competition in China’s rapidly evolving electric vehicle sector.
