Qijing Auto Secures $140M+ Funding: Huawei-Backed Brand to Launch GT7 Sedan in June

Guangzhou, May 13, 2026 – Qijing Intelligent Automotive Technology has officially announced the completion of a massive capital injection exceeding 1 billion RMB (approx. $140 million USD). This funding round introduces heavyweights such as CATL, Bosch’s investment arm, and several state-owned capital entities, signaling strong market confidence in the Huawei-GAC joint venture.

The Strategic Powerhouse: Huawei x GAC

Qijing Auto represents the flagship brand of the “Jing Series,” a deep collaboration between Huawei and GAC Group. Industry analysts view this successful funding round as a milestone for Qijing’s independent market operations. The involvement of Shenzhen Investment Holdings (SIHC) also marks the first major entry of Shenzhen state-owned capital into the complete vehicle manufacturing sector, highlighting the growing industrial synergy within the Greater Bay Area.

Qijing GT7: Launching This June

Following its brand debut in March 2026, Qijing is moving at “EV speed.” The brand plans to launch two models this year:

Qijing GT7: A luxury sedan scheduled for market launch and delivery in June 2026.
Full-size SUV: A second flagship model expected in the second half of the year.
