The Tesla Model Y and IM Motors LS6 also compete within the same broad price range.

Luxeed RX Variant Pricing

The six configurations give buyers a broad price range within the premium electric coupe SUV segment. The entry model starts at 259,800 yuan, while the highest-priced configuration reaches 389,800 yuan. This pricing structure places the RX across a substantial portion of the segment and brings its top variant close to the listed starting price of the Xiaomi YU7 GT.

Design, Dimensions and Electric Drive

Built on Huawei's Tuling platform, the RX measures 5,020 mm in length, 2,007 mm in width and 1,585 mm in height, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase. The model introduces Huawei's next-generation high-performance electric drive system, which has a maximum motor speed of 21,000 rpm. The rear-wheel-drive version uses a single rear motor producing up to 277 kW, equivalent to 371 horsepower. All-wheel-drive versions combine a 160 kW motor with a 277 kW motor, providing a higher-output drivetrain configuration for the upper variants.

Battery, Range and Fast Charging

The RX is available with two battery choices: an 81 kWh lithium iron phosphate pack and a 100 kWh ternary lithium pack. Depending on the configuration, listed CLTC driving ranges are 672 km, 702 km, 753 km, 822 km and 852 km. Every variant supports 800-volt fast charging, with the battery able to charge from 30% to 80% in about 15 minutes. The vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 3.6 seconds and brake from 100 km/h to a complete stop in 32.4 meters.

Driver Assistance and Level 3 Architecture

The RX uses a four-LiDAR array within a 38-sensor driver-assistance system. Its sensor suite includes an 896-channel dual-optical-path imaging LiDAR and three high-precision solid-state LiDAR units. The vehicle architecture is designed for Level 3 autonomous driving and incorporates redundancy across eight systems covering perception, braking, positioning, power supply, steering, communications, interaction and computing. Luxeed said the model has obtained a Level 3 autonomous-driving road-test permit and is being tested in complex traffic conditions, including urban expressways.

Cabin Technology and Customer Profile

Inside, the RX features a 26-inch augmented-reality head-up display, a 16.1-inch swiveling central touchscreen and an 8.88-inch front-passenger display. Its smart wraparound seats use 98 pressure sensors and 27 air bladders. The model joins the S7 sedan, R7 coupe SUV and V9 MPV as the fourth vehicle in the Luxeed lineup. Luxeed executive director Zhao Changjiang previously said that 70% of customers who reserved the RX were purchasing an additional vehicle for households that already owned a car, indicating that this reservation group included a substantial share of multi-vehicle households.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The RX adds another highly equipped electric coupe SUV to China's premium EV market, where pricing, driving range, charging speed and advanced driver-assistance technology are important competitive factors. Its combination of 800-volt charging, multiple battery options, LiDAR-based sensing and a Level 3-oriented architecture places technology at the center of its market positioning. The model's launch also expands the product presence of Luxeed and strengthens the role of Huawei's technology platform within the brand's vehicle lineup. Further customer deliveries and real-world testing will provide additional information about how the RX performs against competing models in China.
