The Luxeed S9 incorporates E0X modular architecture and numerous sophisticated features that position it as a competitor to Tesla's Model Y. The Luxeed S9 was seen in China during road tests. Now, it has been finally revealed in official photos, but still in camouflage.
The Luxeed S9 showcases an array of modern aesthetic and functional features. It is equipped with thin LED headlights connected by a light strip and a trapeze-shaped air intake that integrates radar technology. The SUV rides on R20 wheels wrapped in 255/50 Pirelli Scorpion tires and sports a sleek design with retractable door handles and conventional side-view mirrors. Its rear view is defined by a distinctive single LED taillight unit, augmented by a glossy plastic bumper and a 'ducktail' spoiler on the trunk door.

The SUV includes Huawei-made LiDAR sensors on its roof and additional sensors on its fenders. Inside the cabin, it offers a sophisticated interior featuring an oval-shaped three-spoke steering wheel with gear shifter mounted behind. The cabin boasts a floating touchscreen interface, two wireless charging pads along with ample storage solutions including spacious compartments.

Potential powertrain variants derived from its sedan counterpart - the Luxeed S7 - suggest impressive specifications. The rear-wheel-drive option may feature a 215 kW (288 horsepower) motor whereas the all-wheel-drive version might escalate up to 365 kW (489 horsepower). Different battery options are available ranging from Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) at 62 kWh to Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) at 100 kWh.
Huawei's role extends beyond hardware; they provide pivotal parts and software for the vehicle while also leveraging their sales networks through flagship stores and HIMA stores for distribution. Meanwhile, Chery's responsibilities lie in utilizing their expertise in modular architectures along with managing overall production processes.
