Intelligence gave us opportunity to overtake Western car brands: Huawei Chairman

Huawei Smart Automotive Solutions Business Group Chairman Richard Yu says that Intelligence made the company surpass many Western smart car brands in the market. The OEM has built several car solutions that are better than others.

Yu recently dropped a video on his Weibo channel. The clip highlights a talk regarding why Huawei is willing to enter the million-level luxury car market.

The tech giant has always refused to jump into the car manufacturing pool. It only focuses on smart car solutions and delivers them to its automobile partners.

With high-end smart car solutions, the company has attained a leading spot in the traditional Chinese automobile market. But now it aims towards the million-level luxury car market. And a major reason behind this goal is “Intelligence.”

During the discussion, Huawei Chairman said that Intelligence enabled the firm to overtake many Western smart car brands. Yu said that years back, all million-level luxury cars that were sold on a large scale belonged to the high-end brands from the Western countries. But this trend is on the verge of changing in the time ahead.

The executive further mentioned that earlier, luxury cars used to compete on engines, gearboxes, design, and materials. However, Huawei is ahead in this case and uses even better materials. It’s time to upgrade the competitive level and compete in the million-level luxury smart car market.

“… we have made great progress in intelligence. But I think the car we will build next will be the best car that can be sold on a large scale in China, with a price of over one million.” – said Yu Chengdong.

Huawei unveiled the MAEXTRO S800 at the Mate 70 series launch stage. It is currently running in the pre-sale phase but may soon be available for sale. The car is expected to carry a price tag of 1 – 1.5 million yuan.
