PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Hongqi putting Huawei's smart driving and HarmonyOS cockpit into the H9 is a typical move by a traditional luxury brand to use a tech supplier to shore up its intelligent weaknesses. For users, the chassis hardware stacking plus Huawei's solution gives more choices in high-end sedans; for the industry, the deep binding of domestic brands with tech companies is becoming a new threshold for competition in the high-end market.
