Jetta M6 Launches: Powered by Horizon Journey 6M and HSD AI Foundation Model, High-Level ADAS Enters the RMB 100,000 Segment

Jetta M6 Launches: Empowered by Horizon Journey 6M and HSD AI Foundation Model, High-Level ADAS Accelerates into the 100,000-Yuan Segment Zhong Lilei 47 minutes ago Making advanced intelligent experiences within easy reach.

On October 22, 2026, the Jetta M6 was officially launched, positioned as a "super-comfortable AI all-electric family sedan," priced from 79,800 yuan to 99,800 yuan. Among them, the Jetta M6 555 Ultra version is equipped with the CARIZON full-scenario assisted driving system based on Horizon Journey 6M, deeply empowered by the HSD AI foundation model, and supports high-level assisted driving functions such as highway NOA, urban NOA, and full-scenario intelligent parking.

As high-level ADAS further extends down into the 100,000-yuan segment, the Jetta M6 not only brings a smarter and safer travel experience to mainstream family users, but also further broadens the price coverage of the Horizon and Volkswagen ADAS collaboration, promoting the popularization of high-level ADAS to a broader mainstream user base. The deep integration of German vehicle engineering expertise with China's local ADAS capabilities continues to drive mature, easy-to-use high-level ADAS into more Chinese households at an accelerated pace.

Journey® 6M + HSD "ADAS Dual Engines" Drive High-Level ADAS into the 100,000-Yuan Mainstream Market

"Our sincerity is embodied in our products and delivered to our users. We launched our first native electric platform, adopting a self-developed electronic and electrical architecture and Horizon's high-level ADAS chip, bringing advanced intelligent experiences down to the 100,000-yuan market." At the launch event, these words from Dong Xiuhui, Director, Party Committee Secretary, and General Manager of FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., expressed the confidence behind the Jetta M6 bringing high-level ADAS into the 100,000-yuan mainstream market, using Horizon's integrated software and hardware technology as the foundation to make advanced intelligent experiences within easy reach.

On the ADAS front, the Jetta M6 adopts the Hyper Sense 8 one-stage end-to-end in-vehicle solution built by CARIZON, the joint venture between Volkswagen and Horizon, deeply integrating Horizon's HSD AI foundation model. As China's first mass-produced one-stage end-to-end model, HSD features ultra-low latency and the ability to anticipate and game out complex scenarios, bringing the vehicle closer to the way humans think when driving. On the hardware side, the Jetta M6 is equipped with Horizon's Journey 6M chip, whose compute utilization and computational efficiency lead its class, with million-level mass-production deployment experience, providing a mature and reliable compute foundation for the large-scale popularization of high-level assisted driving. The powerful heterogeneous computing capability of Journey 6M flexibly connects to sensor matrices including high-definition cameras, LiDAR, and millimeter-wave radar, enabling the vehicle to maintain excellent perception reliability in complex scenarios such as rain, fog, and nighttime.

Supported by Horizon's integrated software and hardware technology, CARIZON's Hyper Sense 8 in-vehicle solution helps the Jetta M6 achieve full-scenario assisted driving without relying on high-definition maps, easily handling urban commuting, long highway trips, and complex parking, and supporting parking-space-to-parking-space (OTA upgrade), like an always-online veteran driver accompanying the car, truly delivering a high-level assisted driving experience that is "usable in all scenarios." From Technical Synergy to Mass Production: Horizon and Volkswagen Accelerate the Scaled Deployment of ADAS

Since Volkswagen and Horizon established the joint venture CARIZON at the end of 2023, the two sides have continued to deepen full-chain joint R&D from chips and algorithm models to complete ADAS solutions. With its powerful integrated software and hardware technology, Horizon has solidified the foundation of Volkswagen's ADAS in China, helping Volkswagen accelerate the scaled application of leading ADAS technology.

Under the deep collaboration between the two sides, the results of the partnership have been successively delivered on multiple popular mainstream models. In 2026, CARIZON's full-scenario advanced driver assistance solutions will be successively equipped on 7 all-new electrified models from Volkswagen's three joint ventures in China. In addition to the Jetta M6 officially launched today, the Volkswagen Anhui ID. UNYX 06 and ID. UNYX 07 also recently launched refreshed models, equipped with Horizon Journey 6H chips and deeply empowered by the HSD AI foundation model, enabling full-scenario assisted driving functions such as highway NOA, urban NOA, and intelligent parking. Previously, models such as SAIC Volkswagen ID. ERA 5S and FAW-Volkswagen ID. AURA T6 have also been mass-produced with Horizon's ADAS technology. Currently, the collaboration between Horizon and Volkswagen is fully entering the "fast lane" of scaled mass production covering multiple brands and all price ranges.

Behind the scaled deployment is the mature capability that Horizon's integrated software and hardware technology has formed through large-scale mass-production validation. To date, Horizon's Journey® series has achieved 15 million units in mass production, with cumulative deployment on 40+ automaker brands and 350+ mass-produced models.

As Dr. Yu Kai, founder and CEO of Horizon, said at the launch event: "Reject involution, and let high-level ADAS truly move toward technological equality. A price under 100,000 yuan also deserves a mature, easy-to-use, and reliable urban high-level ADAS!" The Jetta M6 brings this concept into the 100,000-yuan mainstream price range, further broadening the price coverage of high-level ADAS, and becoming the latest practice of Horizon and Volkswagen deepening their collaboration and promoting the accessibility of ADAS.

In the future, Horizon will continue to use its full-stack integrated software and hardware technology foundation to work with Volkswagen to deepen ADAS technology synergy and scaled deployment, jointly promoting "technological equality," so that mature, easy-to-use, high-level ADAS experiences truly enter thousands of households and become the new standard for travel for more Chinese families.
