Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing 's Xiangjie s9 has been launched. A total of two models have been launched with a guide price of 399,800-449,800 yuan. It is positioned as a flagship sedan. Over 2,500 units were ordered within 24 hours of the launch. A few days ago, we went offline to take a set of actual car photos, let’s take a look at its highlights.
Appearance design: Moderate and calm, no sense of aggression, like a pebble
The front design is similar to the question m9, relatively rounded, not aggressive, giving people a calm feeling. A light strip connects the two headlights on the left and right, which is also a more mainstream design method nowadays.
is also relatively rounded from the side, like a pebble, without edges and corners. Due to the use of an electric vehicle platform, the front of the vehicle is relatively short, the rear of the vehicle is not long, and the arc span of the roof is very large.
The wheels adopt a multi-frame style that can better show the sense of luxury. The tires equipped on the show car are optional and the specifications are 225/40 r21. Such a low flatness ratio is relatively rare for an executive-class car.
The rear shape of the car is very simple. The taillights and headlights echo each other, but there is no longer a breakpoint in the middle, but a through-type design. In general, the appearance of Xiangjie S9 does not give people the impression of a dynamic and radical style, but rather a moderate and calm one, which is related to its target group.
Interior design: The materials are excellent and the atmosphere is luxurious. The shape of the steering wheel needs to be adapted to
. The center console is well made and meets the expectations of this price range. However, two points are frequently mentioned by netizens. One is the steering wheel, which looks weird, like a rugby ball. The other is that there is no entertainment screen in front of the passenger seat like the Wenjie m9.
The steering wheel feels actually very good, but the shape reminds me of the Avita . I wonder if this width shape will have any adverse effects when making sharp turns.
The size of the full LCD instrument panel is 12.3 inches, which is considered one of the mainstream sizes at the moment.
central control screen size is 15.6 inches, built-in Hongmeng os, the operation is very smooth, and there are many functions. It supports hicar, four-zone speech recognition, facial recognition, voiceprint recognition, etc.
Below the central control screen is the location for wireless charging of mobile phones. It can be charged on the left and right sides. This is quite generous. The charging power is 50 watts and it has active heat dissipation.
The inner rearview mirror is streaming media, which is only available in high-end models and needs to be optional in low-end models.
The bottom of the central channel is not hollowed out, but a storage slot is designed.
Ride performance: The space is spacious, and the seat functions are basically top-notch.
The seats of the Xiangjie S9 are all made of leather, and the functions are relatively rich. The main and passenger seats have leg rest adjustments, heating, ventilation, massage, and headrest speakers are also in place. No shortcomings.
The wheelbase of Xiangjie S9 reaches 3050mm, and the rear riding experience is still very spacious. The show car is equipped with high-end configurations, and the rear seats are basically fully equipped. They provide heating, ventilation, massage, front and rear/height/waist/leg rest/shoulder adjustment functions, etc. The experience is very comprehensive.
Naturally, there are also small tables in the back.
There is a screen after the rear center armrest is lowered, which is used to control multimedia and some cockpit functions.
The projection screen on the Wenjie m9 is also available on the Xiangjie s9, which is really eye-opening.
The workmanship of the inner door panels is very exquisite, and it looks more luxurious than the "56e".
The trunk opening is quite large, but the volume is average, only 375 liters.
Power and battery life: There are two versions of single and double motors. The longest battery life is more than 800 kilometers, and the fastest time is 3.9 seconds.
In terms of power, Xiangjie s9 has two versions of single motor and dual motor.

Full text summary
At the new car launch conference, the Xiangjie s9 targeted D-class cars such as the Mercedes-Benz S-class , but from a price point of view, it was actually aimed at the three mid- to large-sized German sedan players. There is no doubt about the product strength of Xiangjie S9, but of course there are some small regrets, such as the lack of HUD head-up display and rear-wheel active steering. Regarding the market prospects of this car, we do not doubt Huawei’s appeal. The success of the Wenjie m9 has taught the industry a lesson. The real challenge of the Xiangjie s9 is that it only provides a pure electric version and is not as popular as the Wenjie m9. Extended-range models are also available, which may add cost to some decisions for consumers. If it were you, would you choose the fuel version of the "56e" or the purely electric-driven Xiangjie s9?
