On November 21, at the Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC Group’s brand, Hyper, launched its latest Chinese dual-intelligence flagship sedan — Hyper A800. This car continues GAC’s aesthetic design and has made advancements in intelligent travel experiences. As the official VIP reception vehicle for the 15th National Games, the Hyper A800 had its global interior debut at this auto show.
Prior to the Guangzhou Auto Show, the Hyper A800 received an L3 highway test license for speeds of 120 km/h. The application of L3-level autonomous driving technology marks the transition of autonomous driving technology from the laboratory to practical use. Hyper from GAC has become the first automotive brand in the country to be approved for L3 highway tests at speeds of 120 km/h. At the press conference, Hyper Brand CEO Ma Haiyang stated that the success of the Hyper A800 is thanks to the GAC Starling Security Protection System and Huawei’s Qian Kun Intelligent Driving ADS 4 support.
To ensure the safety of the vehicle in various environments, GAC and Huawei have jointly developed a 360° all-weather perception matrix. Compared to L2-level assisted driving, L3-level has been upgraded in terms of hardware, including binocular cameras, 4D millimeter-wave radar, and high-precision lidar. The combination of these devices allows the Hyper A800 to respond quickly and accurately to complex driving environments. GAC’s eight major redundancy designs are deeply integrated with Huawei’s comprehensive anti-collision system CAS 4.0.
The design of the Hyper A800 showcases GAC’s capabilities. Zhang Fan, GAC Group’s Chief Design Officer, stated that the design of the Hyper A800 combines the exterior of the GAC 1 Concept car with the interior of the Earth Concept car. The body has classic proportions, with a fastback shape and the long-waist, beautifully curved back and broad-shoulder design. In terms of lighting, the Hyper A800 globally pioneered a three-sided flip headlight and a 6-meter stellar ring light.
In terms of the interior, the Hyper A800 also features highlights. Its globally pioneered 2+1 rear transforming seats can switch between four and five seats with one click, and the theater-style rear seating design provides a broad view and comfortable ride experience. The front and rear dual-hug design provides exclusive space experiences for both the driver and passengers. Additionally, the Hyper A800 is equipped with Huawei’s HarmonySpace 5 Harmony Cockpit, based on the new MoLA intelligent architecture, offering users a natural interaction experience and a wealth of application scenarios.
The GAC Hyper A800, as the first Chinese dual-intelligence flagship sedan developed through an in-depth collaboration between GACGROUP and Huawei, captures attention with every appearance. From successfully completing the reception tasks for the National Games to being the first to receive the L3 highway road test license for speeds up to 120 km/h, the Hyper A800 combines timeless design aesthetics with leading intelligent mobility experiences to offer users unparalleled enjoyment.
