2025 Maextro S800

At the end of November, Maextro officially unveiled its luxury electric sedan, the Maextro S800. The brand was created by Huawei and JAC with the aim of creating cars that would compete with the top luxury models.

The S800 is a unique blend of classic luxury and futuristic elements. It will be available in two colors, purple-silver and black. It is 5,480 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,536 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,370 mm. The rounded design of the front grille is different from the design of most luxury sedans. There are also two LED light strips, as well as daytime running lights surrounded by a smaller light source, which creates a unique effect. The same element adorns the rear lights, as well as unique door handles.

The interior is equally impressive, featuring a starry sky and two separate rear seats. Spy photos hint at a design with three screens on the dashboard. The thick B-pillar probably contributes to the safety and structural integrity of the vehicle.

The car is equipped with L3 self-driving technology and a roof-mounted LiDAR radar. The integration of three intelligences has been confirmed, namely intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and intelligent domain control. All of this is powered by the second-generation Turing platform. Huawei also promised Super Cruise, Super Maneuverability, Super Awareness, Super Privacy, Super Communication, Super AI, Super Protection and Super Reliability.

When it comes to price, the S800 costs between 124,320 and 186,510 euros, making it one of the most expensive cars made in China.

2025 Luxeed R7 SUV

After the Luxeed S7 model, the Chinese tech giant Huawei in cooperation with the automobile manufacturer Chery developed a new coupe SUV, the Luxeed R7. It is an elegant and spacious car, and the first photos were published on the social media Weibo.

The exterior of the car is similar to the previous models on which these two Chinese companies collaborated: Aito, Luxeed and Stelato. The CEO of the Consumer BG at Huawei Technologies, Yu Chengdong, said that the R7 represents a revolution and that the new model will surpass rivals that produce premium cars.

It is equipped with LED headlights, ADAS sensors, and LiDAR on the roof, which are connected to Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 3.0 automated driving system. The interior of the SUV is still unknown, but some published photos hint that it could be equipped with a 15.6-inch screen with Huawei’s HarmonyOS system like the one found in the S7 model.

According to Car News China, the BEV and EREV versions of the Luxeed R7 will use an 800V architecture and high-voltage silicon carbide batteries. It will be available with one electric motor (292 hp/218 kW) or with two electric motors with a total output of 496 hp (370 kW) with a maximum range of 855 km.

Huawei is developing a new brand of luxury cars

The Chinese tech giant Huawei revealed its first car ARCFOX Alpha S three years ago, and two years later the all-electric Aito M9 arrived on the market. However, according to information from the company, Huawei is preparing a new luxury brand in cooperation with JAC.

The first car from the new brand will be an all-electric sedan that will compete with better-known flagship models, such as the BMW i7 or Mercedes-Benz EQS, both in terms of luxury and price. It may seem too ambitious, but it is clear that Huawei is looking to enter the luxury car market, which is currently very strong with several brands managing to not only survive in the market but also achieve record results like Rolls-Royce did in 2023, and grab their share of the pie. The brand name is currently unknown.

“Yes, the name is not known yet, but it will be a high-end car. Our goals exceed the level of Maybach and Rolls-Royce’s Phantom. It will be more luxurious and comfortable than these cars,” said Yu Chengdong, director of Huawei’s Smart Car Solutions division.

In an interview with QQ, Yu Chengdong stated that he currently drives two cars, the Luxeed S7 sedan and the Aito M9 SUV, and that he is very surprised by both models, especially the range they provide (705 to 855 kilometers), but also the LiDAR technology and safety functions for which claims that they are far from the competition.

The new brand and car should be premiered by the end of 2024, and some information says that it could cost around $140,000.
