WeRide's WRD 3.0 ADAS Enters Mass Production on GAC AION's 2027 i60 SUV

GAC AION officially launched the 2027 AION i60, a mass-market five-seat SUV offered in both battery electric (BEV) and range-extended electric (REEV) variants. The vehicle is powered by WeRide WRD 3.0, WeRide's one-stage end-to-end Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) solution, which has won eight championships at the China Urban Intelligent Driving Competition. With its deployment in the 2027 AION i60, WRD 3.0 makes the transition to mass production.

WeRide describes WRD 3.0 as the culmination of nearly a decade of Level 4 autonomous driving development and operational experience, now brought to the L2++ ADAS segment. Over the past decade the company has deployed autonomous driving services in more than 60 cities across 13 countries, where its Level 4 fully driverless vehicles have handled diverse roads, climates and traffic conditions. WRD 3.0 draws on WeRide One, the company's universal autonomous driving technology platform, along with WeRide WITT, its Physical AI Cognitive Foundation Model, and WeRide GENESIS, its general-purpose simulation model, to translate validated Level 4 capabilities into scene understanding and continuous decision-making for L2++ passenger vehicles.

WeRide says the 2027 AION i60 can understand the intentions of different road users, anticipate changes in traffic dynamics, and deliver smooth driving assistance that closely aligns with human driving intuition. The system is said to approach the performance of an experienced human driver across a wide range of scenarios and to handle challenging edge cases strongly. Following the AION N60, the i60 marks another milestone in the WeRide-GAC partnership, and WeRide says it will keep working with GAC AION and other GAC Group brands to expand WRD 3.0 deployment to additional models, aiming to bring advanced intelligent driving to the mainstream consumer market.
