Huawei's Yijing X9 EV arrives with HarmonySpace 6 and a 17.2-inch cockpit display

Huawei wants its car software in every Chinese EV, and the proof keeps showing up in new models. The latest is the Yijing X9, a full-size SUV that will ship with HarmonySpace 6 — Huawei’s newest connected cockpit system — across all trims.

The headline feature is a 17.2-inch butterfly-wing dual display positioned center-stage rather than stretching across the dash. Huawei says the dual-screen layout keeps the driver’s view balanced while letting the passenger run their own content without interfering. A cloud-clear anti-glare coating cuts down on reflections, which matters on a display this size facing the windshield.

The X9 measures 5,301 mm long, 2,015 mm wide, and 1,820 mm tall on a 3,120 mm wheelbase. Those are big numbers — think full-size Range Rover territory. Under the skin, the car runs the full Huawei Qiankun optical suite: the XPIXEL pixel-array headlights that can project patterns onto the road, the XSCENE in-cabin laser projector for entertainment, and the XHUD augmented-reality head-up display that overlays navigation and safety cues onto the windshield.

Yijing is a relatively young brand — this is its first production vehicle. The X9 completed its trial production run at the Chengdu Economic Development Zone on June 8, and deliveries are expected to start in the third quarter of this year. Sources close to the project say September is the target for nationwide delivery. The brand plans to launch five more models over the next three years.

What makes the X9 worth watching isn’t just the hardware spec sheet. It’s the pattern: more Chinese EV makers are handing the entire cabin experience — screens, sound, lighting, navigation — over to Huawei’s platform. HarmonySpace 6 is the software layer that ties it all together, and each new model that adopts it makes Huawei’s play for the driver’s seat a little more real.
