The Luxeed RX is a new mid-to-large all-electric coupe SUV jointly developed by Huawei and Chery, expanding the Luxeed lineup while entering direct competition with premium electric SUVs such as the Xiaomi YU7. The model combines a sporty low-slung design with long-range battery options, high-performance electric motors and advanced intelligent driving technology.
The Luxeed RX is offered in two variants, with pre-sales prices starting at 299,800 yuan ($44,210) and 359,800 yuan, respectively. The model is expected to officially launch in fall 2026 and will make its public debut at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show.
Luxeed RX Pricing and Variants
The Luxeed RX is available in two pre-sale configurations.
The entry version is priced at 299,800 yuan and features an in-cabin LiDAR. The higher-priced version costs 359,800 yuan and features an architecture designed to support L3 autonomous driving.
The pricing puts the RX at the upper end of the Xiaomi YU7’s price range. The YU7 Standard starts at 233,500 yuan, while the performance-oriented YU7 GT is priced at 389,900 yuan.
Both models target buyers seeking low-slung, sporty electric SUVs, placing the RX in one of China’s most competitive premium EV segments.
Dimensions and Coupe SUV Design
The Luxeed RX measures 5,020 mm in length, 2,007 mm in width and 1,585 mm in height.
It has a 3,000 mm wheelbase, giving the electric coupe SUV a large footprint while retaining a relatively low roofline.
The exterior was designed by Werner Gruber, a former Ferrari designer who previously worked on models including the LaFerrari and FXX-K.
Chassis tuning was handled by Tobias Moers, the former CEO of Aston Martin, adding performance-oriented engineering expertise to the vehicle’s development.
Electric Powertrain
The Luxeed RX offers both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
The single-motor rear-wheel-drive version produces 277 kW (371 hp).
The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system combines a 160 kW front motor with a 277 kW rear motor.
The RX also introduces Huawei’s latest high-performance electric drive system, with the motor capable of reaching a maximum speed of 21,000 rpm.
Battery and Driving Range
The RX uses Huawei’s Giant Whale battery platform and is available with battery packs rated at 100.424 kWh, 100.256 kWh and 81.1 kWh.
The maximum claimed CLTC range reaches 852 km, giving the RX a long-range positioning within China’s premium electric SUV market.
The multiple battery configurations allow Huawei and Chery to offer different combinations of range and vehicle equipment across the lineup.
Four-LiDAR Intelligent Driving System
One of the RX’s most distinctive technical features is its four-LiDAR sensing system.
The vehicle uses a total of 38 fused-sensing sensors, including an 896-channel dual-optical-path imaging-grade LiDAR and three high-precision solid-state LiDAR units.
Four-LiDAR configurations remain relatively uncommon among mass-produced vehicles, as most premium electric vehicles in China currently use between one and three LiDAR units.
The additional sensing hardware is intended to provide greater redundancy and environmental perception for advanced driver-assistance functions.
L3 Autonomous Driving Architecture
The higher-priced RX variant uses an architecture designed to support L3 autonomous driving.
The vehicle incorporates redundant systems covering power supply, communications, perception, steering and braking.
These redundant systems are intended to provide additional safeguards for higher levels of automated driving and form part of the vehicle’s preparation for L3 driving scenarios.
Interior Technology
The Luxeed RX features a technology-focused cabin with a 26-inch head-up display and a 16.1-inch central infotainment screen.
The SUV also offers intelligent wraparound seats equipped with 98 pressure sensors, allowing the seating system to monitor occupant pressure distribution.
Another distinctive feature is a 1.8-square-meter powered partition sunshade, adding an additional element of cabin privacy and comfort.
Huawei Tuling Platform
The Luxeed RX is built on Huawei’s Tuling platform, which serves as the foundation for its electric powertrain, chassis and intelligent vehicle technologies.
The combination of Huawei’s platform technology and Chery’s vehicle development and manufacturing capabilities allows Luxeed to compete in China’s rapidly expanding premium EV market.
Luxeed Brand Expansion
The RX will become the fourth model in the Luxeed lineup.
The brand currently sells the S7 sedan, R7 coupe SUV and V9 MPV, with the RX adding another large electric SUV to the portfolio.
The RX is also notable because it is the first SUV under Huawei’s HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) to move away from numerical naming and adopt a letter-based model name.
Competition With Xiaomi YU7
The Luxeed RX enters direct competition with the Xiaomi YU7, particularly at the upper end of the premium electric SUV segment.
The two vehicles share several characteristics, including large dimensions, low-slung coupe-inspired designs and fully electric powertrains.
With the RX’s 852 km maximum CLTC range, advanced sensing package and L3-oriented architecture, Luxeed is positioning the new model around technology and intelligent driving as well as design and performance.
