Yijing X9 Pre-sale System Crash Delays Sales Report; GM Says System Failed Before 10 AM

On the evening of August 19, the Yijing X9—the brand's "second-generation family flagship SUV"—officially launched its pre-sale, with prices ranging from RMB 299,800 to RMB 379,800. The model is offered in three variants: the Range-Extended Max Long-Range version at RMB 299,800, the Range-Extended AWD Ultra+ Long-Range version at RMB 339,800, and the Range-Extended AWD Ultra+ Flagship Long-Range version at RMB 379,800. The vehicle is equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun full-stack intelligent technologies, including Qiankun Intelligent Driving, HarmonyOS Cockpit, Qiankun Chitu platform, Qiankun Vehicle Lighting, Qiankun Vehicle Cloud services, and WhaleFin communications. As per usual practice, the company was expected to release initial sales figures shortly after the launch, but Yijing Auto did not publish them as scheduled. Zeng Qinglin, General Manager of the brand, later explained that the pre-sale system crashed before 10 p.m., just after pre-orders began, preventing users from placing orders. He added that the team is working through the night to identify and resolve the issue.
