However, limited by factors such as the market and car manufacturing costs, most of the models in this price range are more inclined to meet the needs of transportation, while ignoring the intelligent configuration that young people love. Fortunately, BAIC Motor has just launched a smart SUV. Not only is it equipped with Huawei's smart cockpit, but also a number of smart configurations are the first of its kind in 100,000-class automotive products. It is the world's first Huawei smart cockpit fuel SUV, Beijing Auto Rubik's Cube.
