The Luxeed V9 is the brand’s first MPV and third production model, following the S7 sedan (2023) and R7 crossover (2024). It targets the Chinese luxury people-carrier segment - a fast-growing category occupied by the Denza D9 and the Li Auto MEGA - with a combination of Huawei’s technology stack and Chery’s engineering capability under the HIMA alliance.
Platform and powertrain: The V9 is built on Chery’s E0X-L platform with Huawei’s DriveONE 800V electrical architecture. The range extender uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 154 hp acting exclusively as a generator - it never drives the wheels directly. A 53.4 kWh battery stores generated and recovered energy. The rear-wheel drive version produces 304 hp from a single electric motor, covering 305 km on a single charge (CLTC). The AWD configuration adds a front motor for 512 hp combined and 285 km CLTC range, reaching 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
Interior: Seven-seat configuration with captain’s chairs in the second row. The second-row seats rotate to face rearward, allowing them to be positioned facing the third row - a feature borrowed from luxury van conversions and increasingly popular in Chinese premium MPVs. The instrument panel carries a 12.3-inch driver display, flanked by two 17.2-inch infotainment screens for front and rear passengers. A ceiling-mounted tablet measures 21.4 inches, the largest integrated display currently available in a production MPV. A refrigerator compartment, a 25- to 35-speaker audio system (depending on variant), and Huawei HarmonyOS cockpit integration are standard across the range.
Technology: Huawei’s ADS intelligent driving system is fitted with lidar and full autonomy hardware. Rear-axle steering and air suspension with adaptive damping are standard. The system adjusts ride height and stiffness based on road conditions and load.
Chinese sales are open. Pricing runs from 389,800 to 519,800 yuan (~$57,900–77,200) across four trims (Max, Max+, Ultra, Ultra+).
