Luxeed, the automotive brand jointly developed by Huawei and Chery Automobile, has taken the final regulatory step toward launching its first multi-purpose vehicle after filing the V9 with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), according to a catalog released this week.
The Luxeed V9 appears in MIIT’s latest list of vehicle models pending market approval, which is open for public comment from Jan. 9 to Jan. 15. Inclusion in the catalog typically clears the way for a model to be sold in China. The filing shows three variants of the V9, all classified as extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs).

The seven-seat V9 will be the first MPV offered under Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA). Regulatory data show the model measures 5,359 mm in length, 2,009 mm in width and up to 1,879 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,250 mm. Depending on configuration, curb weight ranges from 2,750 kg to 2,940 kg, and the listed top speed is 190 km/h.
Power comes from a 1.5-litre engine supplied by Chery, which functions as a range extender and delivers a maximum output of 115 kW. The electric drivetrain is paired with either ternary lithium or lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs supplied by CATL, with capacities of 37 kWh or 53.4 kWh. The corresponding pure-electric driving range is listed at between 158 km and 223 km.

Luxeed released additional images of the V9 on social media on Friday and said the model is scheduled to debut this spring, with a combined CLTC driving range of up to 1,250 km when operating with the range extender.
The V9 will join Luxeed’s existing lineup, which currently consists of the S7 sedan and the R7 coupe-style SUV. Huawei’s HIMA business confirmed in December that the Luxeed V9 would be its first MPV, marking a further expansion of Huawei’s role in China’s rapidly evolving smart electric vehicle sector.
