Xiangjie S9 seems to use the two seemingly contradictory words of "high-end luxury" and "affordable and close to the people" to bring consumers a new car experience.
First, the appearance
Xiangjie S9 extends Huawei's consistent simple and fashionable design style, with smooth and neat overall lines and just the right proportions. At the front of the car, the Xiangjie S9 adopts an integrated grille design, with a large-size logo inlaid in the middle, and LED daytime running lights on both sides, which is full of science and technology. The side styling style is simple and atmospheric, the body lines are clean and neat, and the wheel design is also very designed. The LED taillight cluster at the rear is in a straight line, with a flat tail shape, and the overall look is very fashionable and dynamic.
The body size of the S9 is as high as 5035mm, and the wheelbase is an astonishing 3060mm, which has surpassed many luxury large cars. With such a large body size, it will definitely bring a very spacious and comfortable space experience to the occupants in the car.
Second, the interior
The interior design style extends the simple and atmospheric route of the exterior, and the large curved display on the center console is the biggest highlight. This ultra-large display not only displays functions such as in-car navigation and multimedia entertainment, but can also be controlled by voice interaction through Huawei's self-developed intelligent voice system HiCar, truly embodying the advanced concept of intelligent networking.
The seats are upholstered in top-quality nappa leather and solid wood, and the seats are easy to wrap around, so you won't get tired on long drives. The rear space is even more spacious and luxurious, and the middle aisle is also wide, so it is not a problem for three adults to sit side by side. Rear passengers can also control in-vehicle functions through the front display for a premium cabin experience.
3. Power configuration
The S9 will be available in two versions: pure electric and extended range. The pure electric version will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a power of 200kW, with a maximum torque of 600 Nm, and it will accelerate to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds, with a very strong power output. In terms of battery pack, the Xiangjie S9 will use Huawei's self-developed ternary lithium battery pack, with a battery capacity of up to 99.6kWh, a range of up to 650km under comprehensive working conditions, and a pure electric navigation of 550km even in harsh environments.
The S9 will also launch an extended-range version, which will be based on the pure electric power system and equipped with a 1.5T extended-range engine, which is mainly used to charge the battery pack, thereby further extending the range of the vehicle. The extended-range version will have a total range of more than 800km, which can meet the travel needs of the vast majority of users.
Fourth, the configuration
As Huawei's first high-end model, the Xiangjie S9 will fully introduce Huawei's latest technology in terms of intelligent networking and autonomous driving assistance. It will become an important platform for Huawei to showcase its latest technological achievements and bring consumers a new smart travel experience.

In terms of autonomous driving assistance, the Xiangjie S9 will be equipped with a number of assisted driving functions including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and automatic parking, and will gradually introduce high-level autonomous driving functions to bring users a safer and smarter driving experience.
Fifth, the price
What is surprising is that the starting price of the Xiangjie S9 is only 300,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly quite affordable for a 5-meter super-sized luxury car. Even the top-of-the-line version is only about 500,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than luxury brand models of the same level.
Such a pricing strategy will undoubtedly further enhance Huawei's competitiveness in the automotive field. Compared with other new car manufacturers, Huawei has obvious advantages in terms of brand awareness and technical strength, and if it can also make concessions in price, it will undoubtedly attract more consumers.
As Huawei's first high-end model, the Xiangjie S9 will reflect Huawei's consistent technological leadership in terms of exterior and interior, power configuration, intelligent networking, etc., and the price is also very close to the people, which will undoubtedly bring great impact to the luxury large sedan market of the same level. We have reason to believe that with its excellent product strength and pricing strategy, the Xiangjie S9 will definitely make a lot of waves in the market after its launch and become a new force in the luxury car market. Let's wait and see how this model performs on the market.
