The Epicland X9 is the first car from Epicland, a brand Dongfeng announced in November 2025 and developed with Huawei. It is a full-size three-row SUV, 5,301 mm long on a 3,120 mm wheelbase, seating six in individual chairs, and it is sold in one powertrain configuration only: an extended-range electric drivetrain, with no petrol or plug-in hybrid version planned. Pre-orders opened in China on 18 August 2026, and the first production car came off the line in Chengdu a month earlier, on 20 July.
Powertrain and range
Every version uses the same 74.29 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery from CATL on an 800-volt system, and the same 1.5-litre turbocharged generator rated at 95 kW. The rear-drive Max Long Range has a single 300 kW (402 hp) motor and 465 km of battery-only range on China’s CLTC cycle. The two all-wheel-drive Ultra+ versions add a front motor for 420 kW (563 hp) and 760 Nm, reach 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, and cover 432 km on the same cycle. Epicland quotes more than 1,500 km of combined range from a full battery and the 50-litre tank, and a 20 to 80 percent charge in about ten minutes on a fast enough DC charger.
Chassis and equipment
The X9 rides on double-chamber air suspension with 90 mm of travel and adds rear-wheel steering of up to seven degrees in each direction, which pulls the turning circle down to 5.3 metres despite the length. Across the 80,000 yuan (~$11,900) spread between cheapest and dearest, most of the hardware is common: the entry Max Long Range already carries the air suspension, the HarmonyOS cabin and Huawei’s 896-line lidar. The Ultra+ versions step up to the four-lidar Qiankun ADS 5 Max sensor set.
Interior
The dashboard is built around a pair of linked 17.2-inch 3.4K screens running HarmonySpace 6, with a head-up display Huawei quotes as a 75-inch projected image and a 21-speaker audio system. The upper trims add a 21.4-inch screen in the roof for the second row.
The X9 launched on 24 September 2026 at a limited-time price of 279,800 yuan ($41,500) for the Max Long Range and 359,800 yuan ($53,300) for the AWD Ultra+ Flagship Long Range, both ¥20,000 (~$3,000) below their pre-sale figures and ¥10,000 (~$1,500) below Epicland’s regular list price of 289,800 to 369,800 yuan (~$43,100–54,900). Epicland reported 16,217 pre-orders in the first 12 hours of pre-sales back in August.
