CHERY Strengthens Saudi Market Presence with Q4 Launch of Intelligent Family Mobility Featuring Super Intelligent Valet Parking
As CHERY prepares to re-enter the Saudi market, the brand is set to unveil a refreshed identity and a strong emphasis on local consumers. The company aims to cater to Saudi families who prioritize reliable quality, advanced technology, and enhanced driving comfort. With its official launch scheduled for Q4, CHERY will introduce a new product lineup, focusing on rebuilding trust and relevance through solutions tailored to everyday life in the Kingdom. A key feature of this initiative is the Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP), which will play a pivotal role in the brand’s renewed presence.
Addressing Local Challenges in Mobility
In Saudi Arabia, parking is often a complex task rather than a mere conclusion to a journey. Families frequently face challenges such as navigating large shopping mall parking lots, competing for spaces during busy holidays, and managing tight parking spots in residential areas. These issues are compounded by the intense heat, making the parking experience particularly daunting. Through SIVP, CHERY aims to integrate intelligent technology into these everyday challenges, transforming specifications into practical solutions that alleviate daily inconveniences.
Innovative Features of SIVP
SIVP is designed around two primary scenarios: “One Step Home” and “One Tap Departure.” When returning home, users can activate autonomous parking via a mobile app within designated areas of a parking lot. The vehicle autonomously navigates the parking area, identifies available spaces, and parks itself. Conversely, before departure, users can summon the vehicle through the app, allowing it to exit the parking space and drive to a shaded waiting area, such as a lobby or porch. This feature significantly reduces the need for users to walk long distances in high temperatures to retrieve their vehicles.
The significance of this technology is particularly pronounced in the Saudi market. For families traveling with children or those carrying shopping bags, even a minor reduction in walking distance can enhance comfort and convenience. CHERY envisions that the concept of “the car comes to the user” will evolve into a seamless aspect of daily family mobility.
Safety and User Control
Safety and user control are integral to the SIVP experience. During operation, users can stream live surround-view footage to their mobile devices, allowing them to pause or take control of the vehicle at any moment. The system employs 360-degree omnidirectional perception and utilizes a sophisticated algorithm to identify pedestrians, vehicles, and other traffic participants. It supports intelligent avoidance and dynamic decision-making. In situations where the system detects a complex or potentially hazardous scenario, the vehicle will autonomously pull over and stop, notifying the user via SMS or phone call.
CHERY is also addressing user concerns by establishing clear functional boundaries. SIVP is strictly confined to parking lot areas and does not operate on public roads. Users are still responsible for scenarios such as security checks at shopping mall entrances, public road driving, and parking payments, adhering to the specific environment and facility procedures. For CHERY, responsible intelligent technology means ensuring that every feature is visible, controllable, and trustworthy for users.
Local Adaptations for Unique Conditions
To accommodate the Gulf region’s unique environmental challenges, including high temperatures, strong sunlight, and a mix of large vehicles, CHERY has implemented localized adaptations. The SIVP system utilizes a fusion perception solution that combines LiDAR and high-definition cameras, with enhancements for dustproofing and heat dissipation. These adaptations address complex parking environments characterized by glare, reflections, and light-dark transitions. The system is built on a BEV end-to-end neural network and employs a multimodal dual-redundant prediction mechanism, enabling it to identify various vehicle types and predict their trajectories in real time. This capability supports diverse scenarios, including underground garages and shaded open-air parking lots.
Engaging with Local Markets
On June 29, CHERY hosted a media event targeting the Gulf markets of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. The brand management team provided a comprehensive introduction to the core functions, technological foundations, and localized mobility scenarios relevant to the region. They engaged in open discussions with local representatives on topics such as functional boundaries, safety assurance, usage limitations, and reliability in high temperatures. This event underscored CHERY’s commitment to its localization philosophy, encapsulated in the phrase “In Somewhere, For Somewhere, Be Somewhere.”
As CHERY prepares to re-enter the Saudi market, the company is focused on delivering a renewed product offering, enhanced technology experiences, and a more transparent approach to user communication. With the Q4 launch approaching, CHERY aims to leverage intelligent technologies like SIVP to establish recognition for the “new CHERY” in Saudi Arabia—a global, technology-driven automotive brand that prioritizes family needs, safety, and long-term commitment to Saudi users.
