Based on current market expectations, the Luxeed V9 is likely to be priced at around RMB 500,000 ($71,600). On January 9, Richard Yu, Huawei’s executive director and chairman of the Terminal BG, announced that the first flagship MPV under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, the Luxeed V9, will be officially unveiled this spring. Shortly afterward, Zhao Changjiang, former general manager of BYD’s Denza brand and head of the Denza–Fangchengbao direct-sales business, reposted the announcement to build momentum for the V9. He wrote that the industry “always needs products that raise the ceiling of imagination,” hinting that the new model represents the “ultimate form of a top-tier MPV.” Ex-Denza Chief Zhao Changjiang reposted the announcement to build momentum for the V9 When asked by netizens in the comments how he would rate the Luxeed V9, Zhao replied, “Conservatively speaking, it will have no rivals for the next three years.” That response has effectively confirmed earlier market rumors that Zhao has joined Luxeed, the brand jointly developed by Huawei and Chery. The timing is notable, as Luxeed is preparing to launch its first MPV. Zhao’s prior experience steering the Denza D9 program is expected to play a meaningful role in shaping the V9’s product definition and go-to-market strategy. According to official disclosures, the Luxeed V9 is positioned squarely at the high end of the market. The vehicle measures 5,359 mm in length, 2,009 mm in width and 1,879 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,250 mm.

In terms of powertrain, the V9 adopts Huawei’s “Xuexiao” intelligent range-extender system, delivering a CLTC-rated combined driving range of more than 1,250 km. The Luxeed V9 also appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s first batch of new vehicle filings for 2026 released last night.
