Shenlan G318 Redesign showcases Huawei ADS 5 Pro and HarmonySpace 5 in a boxy SUV.
Huawei ADS 5 Pro and HarmonySpace 5 arrive in the redesigned Shenlan G318 SUV.
Shenlan unveiled its revamped G318 at the Chengdu Auto Show, introducing three all-wheel-drive versions priced from 196,800 to 236,800 RMB following promotional adjustments. Beyond mechanical tweaks, the launch prioritizes software by embedding Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 Pro and HarmonySpace 5 into a model that sold fewer than 200 units in July.
The upgraded ADS 5 Pro relies on Huawei’s WEWA 2.0 framework, utilizing 27 sensors including a cabin-facing Limera lidar that produces simultaneous 3D point clouds and 2D images. Low-light detection for objects 30 cm tall reaches 116 meters, exceeding Huawei’s stated benchmark for leading alternatives by 43%.
Complex driving scenarios benefit significantly, with the system handling unprotected left turns, narrow-lane overtaking, and automated three-point turns even at cramped urban junctions. Vertical parking assistance operates in gaps as tight as 40 cm, while remote parking functions manage trailer connections without issue.
Highway navigation maintains stability with only one safety-critical intervention per 1,500 km, backed by a 24-function CAS suite that addresses phantom braking, pedal confusion, and driver fatigue.
Inside, HarmonySpace 5 employs a MoLA hybrid LLM structure to recognize 10 Chinese dialects and identify passengers via voiceprints, while mirroring smartphone applications onto a 3D dashboard interface.
Pricing begins at 196,800 RMB for the base Tianji trim, whereas the 216,800 RMB Qiankun variant provides complete access to ADS and HarmonySpace 5 features. Spending an additional 20,000 RMB adds air suspension, CDC dampers, and a 600 mm wading capacity suitable for rough terrain.
Powertrain specifications remain constant, pairing a 1.5 T range extender with dual motors producing 450 Ps and 552 Nm, alongside a 35 kWh LFP battery offering 200 km of CLTC electric range and 30–80% charging in 15 minutes. A 60 L fuel tank extends total range beyond 1,000 km, achieving 1.4 L/100 km WLTC combined efficiency and 7.3 L/100 km when running on gasoline alone.
Shenlan positions the vehicle as 90% city commuter and 10% light off-roader, despite its boxy silhouette hindering urban maneuverability. While automated turning and tight parking aid daily use, rivals like the Li Auto L6 or Tank 300 deliver similar technology with improved city fitment.
Sustained reliability matching the Pura 70’s results could push monthly sales past 1,000 units; otherwise, buyers might await OTA 2.0 updates to improve sensor fusion in dense traffic.

Just drove the L8 last week. Why pay more when this is 30k cheaper? The G318's ADS 5 Pro already handles unprotected left turns, narrow-lane passing, and even automated three-point turns, so you're getting the same highway NCA tech that backs one safety-critical intervention per 1,500 km.
Impressive handling in those tight spots. How does the ADS 5 Pro compare to the base model on those narrow roads? The WEWA 2.0 architecture with 27 sensors—including a cabin-facing Limera lidar that draws 3D point clouds and 2D images simultaneously—should give it a serious edge over the base model's sensor suite.

The base trim still seems to be missing out on Huawei ADS, even though the Shenlan G318 redesign just showed off the full potential of Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 Pro with its WEWA 2.0 architecture and 27-sensor suite—including that cabin-facing Limera lidar. Did they really leave that out of the base model or just bury it in the specs?
