Qijing Auto has announced its largest Over-The-Air (OTA) update since the launch of the Qijing GT7, introducing significant upgrades powered by Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving and HarmonyOS-based cockpit systems. The update, version ADS 5.0.2, brings a host of new features and performance enhancements to the premium intelligent new energy vehicle.
Intelligent Driving Enhancements
The new smart driving system includes several standout features. Drivers can now utilize a new gesture-based parking exit function, simplifying maneuverability in tight spaces. The system also introduces campus navigation, offering optimized routing within complex environments like business parks or residential areas. Lane-level navigation provides more precise guidance, and an active wading detection system enhances safety in wet conditions.
HarmonyOS Cockpit Upgrades
The Qijing GT7’s cabin receives a substantial boost with the HarmonySpace 6 upgrade. New features include the debut of ‘Zi Diao Qi Qi’ (Purple Sable Qi Qi), ‘Qian Kun Sharing’ for seamless content transfer, customizable toolbars for personalized control, and the ‘Tuning Magic Cube’ for enhanced audio experiences. ‘Yun Kan’ (Cloud View) offers remote voice reminders, while a vertical menu bar and interactive elements like the ‘Star Ring Scatterer’ improve the user interface and driving scene interaction.
Powertrain and Performance Boost

For models equipped with the 86 kWh battery, charging times have been reduced, improving convenience for owners. New functionalities include a power battery extreme low-temperature insulation feature to maintain performance in cold weather and a supercooling mode for optimized thermal management during demanding situations.
