Stelato G9 Rugged SUV Launches With 10 Variants

Stelato G9 Launch and Variant Lineup

According to Beijing Automotive Group Co Ltd (BAIC Group) on August 20, the Stelato G9 rugged SUV from Stelato, a brand jointly developed by BAIC Group and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd (Huawei), was officially launched. The Stelato G9 rugged SUV is offered with battery-electric and range-extended electric powertrains, each available in five- and six-seat configurations. The lineup contains 10 variants in total, with prices ranging from CNY 429,800 to CNY 549,800. The launch expands Stelato’s premium SUV offering while combining electric propulsion, extended-range capability, high-voltage charging technology, connected cockpit functions, and advanced driver-assistance hardware in a single model family.

The STELATO G9 measures 5,377 mm in length, 2,050 mm in width, and 1,897 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,160 mm. These dimensions position the SUV in a large-vehicle category and support both five-seat and six-seat configurations across the range. The model is offered in two distinct electrified powertrain formats, allowing customers to choose between a battery-electric vehicle designed around longer EV-mode operation and a range-extended electric version designed to combine electric driving with a gasoline-powered range extender. Both powertrain families use dual-motor all-wheel drive, maintaining a common performance-oriented architecture across the lineup.

Battery-Electric and Range-Extended Powertrains

The battery-electric STELATO G9 is offered in four variants, all using a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with a front AC asynchronous motor and a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor. The motors deliver maximum power outputs of 160 kW and 277 kW, respectively, with peak torques of 277 Nm and 450 Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.7 or 4.6 seconds, while top speed is 220 km/h. The vehicle comes standard with Huawei Technologies Co Ltd’s Giant Whale 800 V High-Voltage Battery Platform 3.0 and a 120 kWh ternary lithium-ion battery. Depending on the variant, CLTC EV-mode range reaches 701 or 728 km, while 30% to 80% state-of-charge fast charging takes 15 minutes.

The range-extended electric STELATO G9 is available in six variants and also uses dual-motor all-wheel drive. Its powertrain combines a front AC asynchronous motor, a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, and a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender. The front and rear motors provide maximum power outputs of 160 kW and 277 kW, while peak torque reaches 208 Nm and 450 Nm, respectively. The SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1–5.4 seconds and has a top speed of 220 km/h. It uses Huawei’s Giant Whale 800 V High-Voltage Battery Platform 3.0 and can be equipped with either a 56 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery or a 75.4 kWh ternary lithium-ion battery.

Depending on battery and configuration, the range-extended electric STELATO G9 delivers a CLTC EV-mode range of 310–405 km and a CLTC combined range of 1,271–1,366 km. Fast charging from 20% to 80% state of charge takes 15 minutes. This configuration is designed to retain electric propulsion while providing a substantially longer combined driving range than the battery-electric variants. The availability of both LFP and ternary lithium-ion batteries also gives the range-extended lineup different battery configurations within the same 800 V architecture. Together, the two powertrain choices broaden the model’s operating range while retaining dual-motor all-wheel-drive performance and rapid charging capability.

Connected Cockpit and Driver Assistance

Inside, the STELATO G9 features a HarmonyOS cockpit with physical controls arranged by functional zone. Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 17.2-inch center touchscreen, and a 68-inch HUAWEI XHUD augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD). Select variants also support satellite communications. The cabin technology is paired with an advanced driver-assistance package intended to support a broad set of assisted-driving functions. The combination of a large AR-HUD, multiple display surfaces, connected functions, and physical controls gives the SUV a technology-focused interior while maintaining direct access to vehicle functions through dedicated controls.

The STELATO G9 comes standard with the advanced version of HUAWEI ADS 5 and uses 38 sensors for its driver-assistance system. The sensor suite includes one 896-line dual-optical-path image-grade LiDAR and three high-precision solid-state LiDARs. This hardware supports assisted-driving functions including Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Remote Parking Assist (RPA), and Highway Navigation Cruise Assist (Highway NCA). The launch therefore combines the model’s dual-motor electric architecture, 800 V battery platform, long-range capability, connected cockpit, and high-density sensing system within one SUV lineup. The result is a 10-variant range that spans battery-electric and range-extended electric configurations while offering five- and six-seat layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What powertrains does the STELATO G9 offer?
The STELATO G9 is offered with battery-electric and range-extended electric powertrains, giving buyers two electrified options across five-seat and six-seat configurations.
