Chinese automakers are accelerating adoption of lidar-equipped advanced driver assistance systems as they roll out large SUVs. Voyah’s Taishan X8, launching May 22, will be the first production car to use Huawei’s Qian Kun driving suite with four lidars and an 896-line image-grade lidar, showcasing deep Huawei-OEM collaboration; the model has already topped 40,000 orders and offers PHEV/EV variants with long CLTC ranges. At the same time, Xiaomi’s upcoming range-extended full-size SUV Kunlun N3 has been spotted with a visible lidar bump, signaling the brand’s move into lidar-enabled ADAS. Overall, lidar is moving rapidly from prototype to mainstream EV/SUV deployments in China.
Lidar adoption in mainstream Chinese SUVs signals a shift in ADAS architectures and supplier relationships, affecting integration, testing, and software stacks. Tech professionals in automotive, sensing, and ADAS must prepare for wider lidar deployment and new OEM-tier1 collaborations.

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has published approval images for the Dongfeng Yipai M8, a large six-seat SUV available in both range-extended and pure-electric variants and scheduled to debut this month. The M8 measures 5,020mm long with a 3,025mm wheelbase; the BEV’s motor peaks at 230 kW while the range-extended version uses a 1.497L engine (95 kW) plus a 215 kW drive motor, both engines supplied by Zhixin Technology. Crucially, the vehicle is billed as the first to adopt Huawei’s Qian Kun (乾崑) suite—Qian Kun driving (ADS), Qian Kun vehicle control and cloud, HarmonyOS cockpit, and whale-fin communications—with visible lidar hardware likely the Qian Kun 896 dual-optical, image-grade unit, signaling deeper Huawei-automaker integration in smart EV platforms.
Most newsworthy: Chinese EV maker Voyah (岚图) will launch its new Taishan X8 large five-seat SUV on May 22, and the model will be the first production car to adopt Huawei’s Qian Kun intelligent driving suite with four lidar units and a 896-line dual-optics image-grade lidar. Voyah announced a presale starting price of ¥302,900 and said orders surpassed 40,000 in 13 days, including over 6,000 during a three-day holiday. The Taishan X8 features Huawei’s dual 15.6-inch screens, versatile seating modes (including an automatic one-touch bed), 800V charging with PHEV and EV variants, up to 727 km CLTC pure-electric range (120 kWh) and 1,506 km CLTC combined range (PHEV). This highlights deeper Huawei-automaker partnerships and lidar-driven ADAS adoption in EVs.
