exterior
From the appearance, the S9 is immediately impressive in a clean and minimal design language that follows the style queue of Luxeed S7 (see specifications) and AITO M9 (see specifications). The aerodynamic efficiency of this sedan is emphasized by only 0.193 CDs. The long dimensions of 5,160 mm, 1,987 mm in width, 1,486 mm in height, and 3,050 mm in wheelbase, have an overwhelming presence on the road. Functions such as frame -less doors, smart electronic side mirrors, and full -width tail lights with delicate duck tail spoilers have contributed to the rational design. The sedan is further complemented by selecting a 20 -inch or 21 -inch wheel, and a sporty touch is added.

Behind the wheel
Our test cars are dual motor specifications, with 0 to 100 km/h acceleration 3.9 seconds. The 100 kwh battery supports CLTC’s 721 km cruising range. In addition, the 800V architecture enables ultra -high -speed charging, and a 200 km cruising range is added in 5 minutes.
On the street, S9’s air suspension and adaptive dumping system shine, provide a balance between comfort and agility. Comfort mode easily absorbs the unevenness of the road surface to achieve luxurious ride, and sports mode enhances the response of the car and makes it attractive even on a bending road. The dual motor configuration provides sufficient power and guarantees smooth acceleration and reliable overtaking at the speed of highway. With this feature, the S9 is also suitable for commuting in urban areas and long -distance driving on expressways, and can handle various driving preferences.
In more difficult scenarios, such as unrequited roads and sudden curves, the S9 adaptive suspension system is true and maintains stability without sacrificing riding comfort. The low center of gravity of the sedan and the accurate steering wheel enhance the driver’s confidence, and the seamless power supply guarantees a sophisticated and calm driving experience. The sound insulation is also worth noting, effectively blocks the cabin from the noise of the wind and roads, and enhances the overall luxury.
This test drive emphasizes the advanced functions of the Huawei ADS 3.0 system. This system sets an autonomous driving benchmark by end -to -end human -like intelligence. It has a 192 line LIDAR with up to 250 meters of detection, enabling accurate navigation even on complex road conditions. Functions such as pedal stepping wrong collision, adaptive emergency brake, automatic parking, etc. will improve safety and ease of use. This system will consistently shift between object recognition and scene understanding, providing confident driving experience in urban and expressway environments.
The performance of S9 in various driving scenarios demonstrates the collaboration between Huawei technology and Beijing Autumn Manufacturing capacity. Thanks to the adaptive brake and stability system, the S9 maintains calm down in difficult situations.
