Stelato prices its boxy G9 from 429,800 yuan, the first rugged SUV in Huawei's alliance
Stelato, the brand Huawei runs with BAIC, has put its new G9 on sale from 429,800 yuan, a large squared-off SUV that is the first off-roader in Huawei's HIMA line-up.
- 429,800 yuan
- 437 kW (586 hp)
- up to 728 km
What Happened
The G9 reached showrooms on Thursday at a HIMA event, spanning ten versions in a band of 429,800 to 549,800 yuan. The entry figure sits below the 439,800 yuan floor set during its pre-sale run. Reservation holders can choose range-extender or full-electric drive, and the car makes its public bow on 21 August as the Chengdu show opens.
- Boxy body measuring 5,377 mm long on a 3,160 mm wheelbase, in five- or six-seat form
- Standard dual zero-gravity front chairs and a built-in compressor fridge
- Huawei's Tuling all-terrain base, twin-chamber air springs and 130 mm of adjustable ride height
- Huawei ADS 5.0 assistance with a dual-path laser scanner and 38 sensors
Every G9 runs Huawei's 800-volt Giant Whale pack with twin motors driving all four wheels for a combined 437 kW (586 hp) and a sprint to 100 km/h in under five seconds. The battery car carries a 120 kWh pack good for a claimed 728 km on the CLTC test, while the range-extender pairs a 56 kWh or 75 kWh pack with a petrol generator for up to 405 km on battery alone and as much as 1,366 km all told.
Huawei billed it as the first luxury hardcore SUV built around Level-3 self-driving and the first such model cleared in Beijing to test that capability at up to 120 km/h. Where it lands puts it against ladder-frame off-roaders that lean on rough-terrain ability, chiefly Fang Cheng Bao's Bao 8 and GWM's Tank 700.
Why this matters
The G9 carries Huawei's car alliance into rugged-SUV territory long held by BYD's Bao and GWM's Tank, and comes with a claim of a Beijing permit for Level-3 test driving. It widens the ground on which Huawei-branded models now compete.
