The updated Stelato S9 continues to offer both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) versions. The new EREV variant boasts a CLTC-rated battery range of 372 kilometers, while its combined range with a full tank and full charge reaches 1,378 kilometers. The all-electric BEV version achieves a CLTC range of up to 816 kilometers, giving the model one of the longest ranges in its class.
Huawei executive director and consumer business group chairman Richard Yu announced on Weibo that showroom units are now arriving at stores. The updated model will also debut Stelato’s first official logo, moving beyond the plain lettering seen on the S9 sedan and S9T wagon. Measuring 5,160 mm long, 1,987 mm wide, and 1,486 mm high with a 3,050 mm wheelbase, the new S9 retains the same dimensions as its predecessor.
