Luxeed V9 MPV Launch Expands Huawei and Chery’s Smart Luxury Vehicle Ambitions

Huawei and Chery have officially introduced the Luxeed V9 MPV in China, marking the first multi-purpose vehicle launched under Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA). The new luxury-focused MPV enters one of the country’s fastest-growing premium vehicle segments with pricing that directly targets established rivals from General Motors and BYD. Deliveries for the initial batch are scheduled to begin in early June as the companies expand their presence in the intelligent electric vehicle market.

The Luxeed V9 MPV is available in four variants including Max, Max+, Ultra, and Ultra+. All trims use an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) architecture and are priced between 389,800 yuan and 519,800 yuan. The seven-seat MPV features a three-row cabin configuration and measures 5,359 mm in length, 2,009 mm in width, and up to 1,879 mm in height. The model rides on a 3,250 mm wheelbase designed to maximize cabin comfort and interior space for commercial and family-oriented mobility applications.

Luxeed V9 MPV Variant Pricing and Key Specifications

The MPV combines a 1.5-liter range-extender engine with battery systems supplied by CATL and an electric drive platform developed by Huawei. Depending on the selected trim, the vehicle is equipped with either a 37 kWh or 53.4 kWh battery pack. The company claims the Luxeed V9 can achieve a combined driving range of up to 1,250 kilometers when fully charged and fueled, positioning it as a long-distance premium mobility solution for both business and family users.

Huawei has integrated its Turing chassis platform into the Luxeed V9, while rear-wheel steering comes standard across all versions. The system is intended to improve maneuverability and vehicle stability despite the MPV’s large dimensions. The vehicle also features Huawei’s latest ADS 5 intelligent driving technology supported by 38 sensors, including the company’s 896-channel LiDAR system designed for advanced environmental perception and obstacle recognition in complex road conditions.

During the launch event, Huawei executive director Richard Yu highlighted the vehicle’s smart driving capabilities and stated that the ADS 5 platform enables advanced road perception and safer obstacle avoidance performance. The Luxeed V9 also emphasizes cabin comfort with rotating second-row zero-gravity seats, an integrated oxygen concentrator, and a heating and cooling refrigerator capable of maintaining cooling performance for more than 12 hours after the vehicle is powered off in 30-degree Celsius ambient conditions.

Chery chairman Yin Tongyue revealed that cumulative pre-orders for the Luxeed V9 exceeded 40,000 units since pre-sales began on April 22. He also stated that Chery has allocated more than 20 billion yuan toward the Luxeed project, treating it as a strategically important business division within the group. According to Yin, Huawei has introduced 57 core technologies into the Luxeed brand as both companies seek to establish new standards for intelligent premium mobility in China’s automotive sector.

The Luxeed V9 launch arrives as Huawei continues expanding the scale of its HIMA automotive business. The alliance currently includes partnerships with Chery, Seres, BAIC, JAC, and SAIC, reflecting Huawei’s growing influence across multiple segments of the Chinese automotive market. The V9 is also the first model released after former Denza sales chief Zhao Changjiang officially joined Luxeed earlier this year as executive director and executive vice president following his leadership role in the successful Denza D9 MPV program.
