The Groundbreaking Launch of Huawei Stelato S9

In the ever-evolving landscape of the automotive industry, a remarkable event has transpired. The highly anticipated Huawei Stelato S9 has made its grand entrance onto the stage. This cutting-edge vehicle, a collaborative effort between Huawei and BAIC, is set to redefine the standards of luxury and innovation in the electric vehicle (EV) segment.

The Stelato S9 stands out not only for its sleek and modern design but also for its advanced technological features. Priced competitively between 450,000 and 550,000 yuan (approximately 57,250 to 75,950 USD), it offers an enticing option for those seeking a high-end EV experience. Pre-sales have officially kicked off, with official sales slated to begin in August, followed by deliveries, marking an exciting new chapter in the automotive world.

Designed to rival the likes of German premium car giants such as the Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-class, the Stelato S9 is fully electric, showcasing Huawei’s commitment to sustainable mobility. Built on the state-of-the-art Turing platform and equipped with the advanced Turing chassis system, it promises a superior driving experience. What truly sets it apart, however, is its integration of Huawei’s cutting-edge Qiankun ADS 3.0 intelligent driving system and the seamless HarmonyOS system.

Together with its counterpart, the M9, the Stelato S9 forms a formidable “9 series double flagship,” aiming squarely at the lucrative luxury market. Yu Chengdong, the visionary chairman of the Huawei Car Business Unit, proudly proclaims that the cabin of the S9 offers an astonishing usable space of up to 3460 mm. The vehicle adopts an innovative Inside-Out design concept, seamlessly integrating the interior and exterior to maximize cabin space. Images reveal a generously sized fold-down armrest for the rear bench, effectively transforming the S9 into a four-seater configuration, complete with integrated seat buttons in the door panels. There are hints of additional features such as an onboard fridge and dedicated entertainment screens for rear passengers, enhancing the overall comfort and entertainment quotient. The physical dimensions of the car measure an imposing 5160, 1987, and 1486 mm (length, width, and height, respectively), with a substantial wheelbase of 3050 mm.

Yu Chengdong further asserts that the new Stelato S9 holds the distinction of having the lowest wind resistance among executive luxury sedans. The specific figure for this remarkable feat will be disclosed at the highly anticipated launch event in August. In the interim, it’s notable that the S9 features streaming side view cameras in place of traditional mirrors, adding to its modern and high-tech aesthetic. The vehicle is available in both single and dual motor versions. All variants utilize a powerful 227 kW TZ210XYA03 electric motor produced by Huawei Digital Power Technology Co., Ltd. on the rear axle. In the dual motor configuration, an additional 158 kW YS210XYA03 motor is incorporated on the front axle. While details regarding battery capacities remain under wraps for now, it’s tantalizing to note that the maximum range is expected to exceed 800 km, presumably for the single motor version.

One of the key selling points of the Stelato S9 is undoubtedly Huawei’s revolutionary Qiankun ADS 3.0 system. It is believed that this advanced system will make its debut on the S9, offering a paradigm shift from the traditional BEV (bird’s eye view) to a GOD (general obstacle detection) network. This revolutionary approach allows the vehicle to truly understand obstacles and complex driving scenarios with an uncanny accuracy reminiscent of human perception. The Stelato S9 also incorporates Lidar technology, and its all-weather and small target detection capabilities have been significantly upgraded. It demonstrates enhanced performance with items such as tires, warning triangles, and traffic cones. Huawei’s foray into the development of the first high-precision 4D Millimeter wavelength radar in China is a remarkable feat. This cutting-edge technology offers improved vision range (by up to 35%) and enhanced accuracy (by a factor of 4), courtesy of 4T4R waveguide antennas and an ultra-wideband design, simultaneously enhancing target detection and environmental modeling capabilities.

The launch of the Huawei Stelato S9 is not just a new vehicle introduction; it represents a significant milestone in the automotive industry. It showcases Huawei’s unwavering dedication to technological innovation, sustainable mobility, and the pursuit of automotive excellence. As the Stelato S9 takes to the roads, it is set to turn heads and redefine the boundaries of what is possible in the world of luxury electric vehicles. The future of driving is here, and it’s looking brighter than ever with the Huawei Stelato S9 leading the charge.
