Haval Manglong Breaks New Ground with Urban NOA Smart Driving
Haval Manglong Ushers in New Era of Smart Driving
Great Wall Motor is accelerating into the future of automotive technology with its latest innovation. Following the successful integration of intelligent driver assistance systems in its Weipai Lanshan model, the company's flagship Haval brand is now poised to introduce urban Navigation Assistance Driving (NOA) capabilities.
Powering Ahead in Intelligent Mobility
The Haval Manglong will be the first model in Great Wall's lineup to feature urban NOA technology, marking a significant milestone for China's automotive industry. This advancement comes at a crucial time - Haval accounted for an impressive 57% of Great Wall Motor Group's total sales (528,000 units) in just the first nine months of 2023.
"This isn't just another tech upgrade," notes industry analyst Li Wei. "Bringing urban NOA to mainstream models represents a democratization of advanced driver assistance that could reshape consumer expectations."
Strategic Partnerships Fuel Innovation
Behind this technological leap lies a carefully crafted supplier strategy:
- Initially partnered with established suppliers before switching gears
- High-end Manglong variants will utilize Yuanrong Qixing's cutting-edge solution
- Features NVIDIA OrinY chips boasting 200TOPS computing power
The collaboration between Yuanrong Qixing and Great Wall continues to deepen, highlighted by Great Wall's $100 million investment last year - reportedly China's largest single investment in intelligent driving technology.
What This Means for Car Buyers
The introduction promises tangible benefits:
- Expected price point around ¥150,000 makes tech accessible
- Urban NOA capability may soon become standard buyer criteria
- Positions Haval competitively against premium autonomous offerings
The Manglong isn't just getting smarter - it's helping redefine what drivers should expect from vehicles in its class. As these technologies mature, asking "Does it have urban NOA?" might become as common as inquiring about fuel efficiency or safety ratings.
