Huawei driver assistance system in future Toyota cars

In the future, Toyota intends to use the Huawei driver assistance system in its cars in order to increase driver safety and the level of autonomy. This information came from unverified sources, and Toyota did not make a statement.

As a reminder, Huawei provides smart components and systems for autonomous vehicles, and this is not the first time that these two companies have collaborated together, as they previously worked on smart cockpits and connected systems for vehicles. In this case, Momenta would provide the software while Huawei would be responsible for the hardware.

China is one of the largest markets in the world and it is especially interesting for manufacturers of electric vehicles to keep up with Chinese manufacturers. In this market, the Japanese manufacturer currently offers electric vehicles bZ3 and bZ4X, but the sales results are not so good. Cooperation with the Chinese company could be a turning point, because Toyota is currently lagging behind other major manufacturers when it comes to car autonomy systems.

Whether this cooperation will happen, we will know after the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, which will be held from April 25 to May 4, 2024.

2024 Huawei Aito M9

After 2021 when Huawei presented its first car, the ARCFOX Alpha S, developed in cooperation with the BAIC group, now the all-electric Aito M9 is coming to the market soon. It is expected to be officially presented next year, and pre-orders are open at a price of around 63,900 and 77,100 euros.

The Aito M9 is 5,239mm long, 1,999mm wide and 1,800mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,110mm, ensuring a spacious interior for passengers and luggage. The exterior design is based on “supreme simplicity and purity” and is adorned with aerodynamic intakes and a modern design of headlights that are seamlessly integrated. The rear is somewhat simpler, with less sharp lines, and the Aito logo is positioned above the taillights.

The interior will suit technology lovers, it is equipped with Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4.0 cockpit, with three screens, as well as Huawei’s in-car entertainment system AI Intelligent Cystal. For the first time, Huawei used its digital assistant Xiaoyi, which ensured a seamless and interactive user experience. Crystal is still part of the Huawei Sound system. The spacious interior is equipped with six seats that can be adjusted to different configurations and accommodate up to 6 passengers.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Aito M9 will be available in two versions, EV and ERV. The all-electric version will have four-wheel drive with two electric motors with a total power of 530 hp (390 kW), manufactured by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL).

2024 Avatr 12

Avatr 12 is a new electric car with which the Chinese company Avatr Technology wants to attack the European market and threaten the position held by Mercedes’ EQE sedans and BMW i5. It is an electric premium sedan that was created in cooperation with Changan Automobile, CATL and Huawei, and it is designed to go straight into the mid- and large-size segment.

This interesting coupe-limousine is 5020 mm long, 1999 mm wide and, depending on the air suspension, 1450-1460 mm high, while the wheelbase is 3020 mm. Built on the EP1 platform, the Avatr 12 will be offered with one or two electric motors. The single-engine Avatr 12 is powered by an electric unit mounted on the rear axle that develops 313 hp (230 kW). The two engine version comes with all-wheel drive and a total power of 578 hp (425 kW). The top speed is 200 km/h, and the electric motors are supplied by Huawei. It is equipped with a lithium-ion battery manufactured by CATL, with a capacity of 90.4 kWh for the base model and 116.8 kWh for the models with two motors.

When it comes to design, split LED lights surround the front grille, giving it an aggressive look. An elegant roofline, made entirely of glass, leads to a massive coupe section with narrow horizontal LED lights. Buyers will be able to choose between four different 20-inch and 21-inch wheel designs, and will also be able to spec their cars with cameras instead of exterior mirrors.

Before reaching the European market, the Avatr 12 will have a serious competitor in the domestic Chinese market, and that is the Nio ET7. Whether it will be able to cope with the competition remains to be seen, but if we consider that the previous model, the Avatr 11, did not achieve the expected results (from December 2022, only 1,753 were sold), will the Avatr 12 be another failed attempt!?
