Dongfeng Forthing Xinghai V6 Enters Mass Production With Huawei ADS 5 SE

Dongfeng Forthing Xinghai V6 Begins Mass Production

Dongfeng Forthing Xinghai V6 has entered mass production with Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 SE, marking a significant expansion of advanced driver-assistance technology into China’s CNY 100,000 family vehicle segment. On August 18, the first mass-produced vehicle equipped with the system officially rolled off the production line at Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co Ltd’s passenger vehicle final assembly workshop. The six-seat battery-electric MPV was jointly launched by Dongfeng Forthing and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, with a starting pre-sale price of CNY 104,900. The production milestone comes as deliveries get underway.

Six-Seat Electric MPV Targets Mainstream Buyers

Positioned as a large six-seat battery-electric MPV in the CNY 100,000 price segment, the model is the first vehicle to bring Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 SE into this family-oriented price category. Its exterior follows a flowing design theme with biomimetic styling inspired by a swimming whale. The vehicle measures 4,835 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width and 1,755 mm in height, while its wheelbase reaches 2,900 mm. The cabin uses a 2+2+2 six-seat configuration, with third-row seats that can fold and stow beneath the floor to support flexible four- and six-seat arrangements. A seven-seat version is also available for buyers seeking additional passenger capacity.

Battery, Range and Vehicle-to-Load Capability

The electric MPV is equipped with a 60.5 kWh battery that provides a claimed range of 510 km, while energy consumption is rated as low as 11.8 kWh per 100 km. Fast charging is offered across the lineup, supporting more convenient energy replenishment for family and daily-use applications. The vehicle also provides 6.6 kW vehicle-to-load capability as standard, allowing stored battery energy to supply compatible external electrical equipment. These specifications position the model around a combination of practical driving range, comparatively low energy consumption and utility-focused electrical functionality, reinforcing its positioning as a mainstream battery-electric family vehicle rather than a technology-focused premium MPV.

Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 SE Brings Advanced Assistance to Lower Price Segment

For intelligent driving, the vehicle uses a perception architecture comprising 10 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and three millimeter-wave radars, supported by Huawei’s self-developed MDC computing platform. The system enables functions including Highway Navigation Cruise Assist, or NCA, City Lane Cruise Control Plus, or LCC+, and parking assistance. With production now underway, the integration of this hardware and software package into a vehicle priced from CNY 104,900 demonstrates how advanced driver-assistance capabilities are moving beyond higher-priced vehicle segments. The development could also support wider adoption of Huawei Qiankun ADS technology as more mainstream family vehicles incorporate increasingly sophisticated sensing, computing and driver-assistance functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the starting price of the Dongfeng Forthing Xinghai V6?
The electric MPV starts pre-sale pricing at CNY 104,900, placing advanced driver assistance within the mainstream family vehicle segment. The model is positioned as a large six-seat battery-electric MPV and combines a 60.5 kWh battery, 510 km range and 6.6 kW vehicle-to-load capability. Its Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 SE system supports highway navigation assistance, city lane cruise functions and parking assistance. The combination of passenger capacity, electric range and intelligent driving technology is intended to strengthen the vehicle’s competitiveness in China’s CNY 100,000 family-oriented market.

What intelligent driving technology does the electric MPV use?
The vehicle uses Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 SE with a multi-sensor perception system comprising 10 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and three millimeter-wave radars. The system is supported by Huawei’s self-developed MDC computing platform and enables Highway Navigation Cruise Assist, City Lane Cruise Control Plus and parking assistance. Its deployment in a CNY 100,000-class family vehicle is significant because it brings a sophisticated driver-assistance package into a more accessible segment. Mass production of the model could therefore help accelerate broader adoption of advanced intelligent-driving technologies across mainstream battery-electric vehicles in China.
