Dual-Motor Electric Powertrain
The Stelato G9 uses Huawei’s 800-volt Giant Whale battery platform and comes with dual-motor all-wheel drive.
The system produces a combined maximum output of 437 kW, equivalent to approximately 586 hp.
Stelato claims a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of less than five seconds.
The available specifications do not provide separate output figures for the front and rear electric motors.
Stelato G9 BEV Version
The battery-electric G9 uses a 120 kWh battery pack.
Its key specifications include:
- Powertrain: Battery Electric
- Battery Capacity: 120 kWh
- Maximum CLTC Range: 728 km
- Drive: Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive
- Electrical Architecture: 800 Volt
- Maximum Combined Output: 437 kW
The available information does not disclose the battery chemistry or maximum charging power.
Stelato G9 EREV Version
The extended-range electric G9 is available with either a 56 kWh or 75 kWh battery pack.
The EREV versions offer:
- Battery Capacity: 56 kWh / 75 kWh
- Maximum CLTC Battery-Only Range: 405 km
- Maximum CLTC Combined Range: 1,366 km
- Drive: Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive
The larger battery capacity and extended-range configuration allow the G9 to offer a longer overall driving range than the battery-electric model under the stated CLTC measurements.
Huawei ADS 5.0 and LiDAR
The Stelato G9 is equipped with Huawei ADS 5.0 and a new-generation dual-path LiDAR system.
The SUV has 38 high-precision sensors distributed across the vehicle.
Huawei said the G9 is the first luxury hardcore SUV with an architecture designed for Level 3 autonomous driving.
The model has also received approval in Beijing for Level 3 autonomous-driving road tests at speeds of up to 120 km/h.
The Level 3 architecture and road-test approval do not mean that the vehicle is operating as a Level 3 autonomous vehicle in all driving conditions. The available information does not specify the conditions under which such functionality may be commercially activated.
Tuling All-Terrain Platform
The G9 introduces Huawei’s all-terrain Tuling platform.
The chassis uses:
- Dual-chamber air suspension
- Dual-valve continuously variable damping shock absorbers
- 130 mm of ride-height adjustment
The platform is intended to combine off-road capability with the ride and handling characteristics expected from a luxury SUV.
Interior and Utility Features
The Stelato G9 is offered with five- and six-seat configurations.
Standard equipment across the lineup includes:
- Dual zero-gravity front seats
- Onboard compressor refrigerator
- Five- or six-seat cabin configurations
The available specifications do not disclose the vehicle’s cargo capacity.
Stelato G9 Market Position
The G9 enters China’s luxury off-road SUV segment, where it faces models including the Fang Cheng Bao Bao 8 from BYD and Tank 700 from GWM.
These vehicles compete in a segment that places greater emphasis on off-road capability while also offering features aimed at improving comfort and usability in urban environments.
