Vehicle Analysis

The most luxurious car of Huawei series so far

The STELATO S9 follows Huawei's design principle of "ultimate, simple, pure", and adopts the "Inside-Out" unified design concept. On the external, it goes for a minimalist and elegant design approach, which is even somewhat similar to the AITO M9. The dimensions are 5160/1987/1486mm, the wheelbase is 3050mm, and the available interior space is as high as 3460mm.

The side of the car body is very simple, and it uses a sloping back shape. In addition, the STELATO S9 adopts a hidden water-cutting design for the first time. Compared with the conventional process of "hiding defects" with decoration strips, the internal sheet metal at the edge of the hidden water cut also needs to be required according to the flatness of the A-level surface. At the same time, the unique flat body formed by flat side windows, frameless doors, hidden door handles, and electric suction doors presents a clean light and shadow facade. The biggest function is to effectively reduce wind noise during dynamic driving. The STELATO S9 adopts a four-door frameless design, and all four windows are reinforced with double-layer laminated glass, which can also effectively reduce wind resistance.

The STELATO S9 uses the same series of ProGloss Plus clear paint materials as high-end luxury cars. The color car paint has gone through 119 processes and 42 groups of robots work precisely. The rotation speed of the spray cup is up to 65,000 rpm (the regular rotation speed of the cup is 1,000-6,000 rpm), which turns the paint into a 100nm~1.0μm sub-micron liquid, and then through the 5-layer micron coating process, it ensures the paint surface is sufficiently delicate and uniform.

The design style of the tail echoes the front of the car. The tail is equipped with a through-type LED tail light. The light strip after the width lamp is lit is presented in a ring belt style. In addition, the rear-view camera is set on the top of the tail, which is advantageous in avoiding mud compared with traditional ones set in the license plate light position.

STELATO S9's entire cabin follows a symmetrical design structure, it perfectly integrates future technology with luxury style through intelligent star ring design, which shapes an open and transparent cabin space. The front row adopts a star ring double terrace design to emphasize horizontal order and bring a spacious field of vision. It's worth noting that the armrests and door panels in the car are made of natural solid wood that retains the integrity of the original natural texture to the greatest extent, and the leather in the car is Nappa leather.

The intelligent star ring design incorporates a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, a 15.6-inch intelligent control screen, and two side streaming media rearview mirror display screens into a staggered connection, and is equipped with all-new HarmonyOS 4. The new Super Desktop 2.0 achieves seamless bidirectional circulation of mobile applications and fully supports mobile desktop layout, which makes car-machine collaboration smoother. In addition, STELATO S9 supports the circulation of all video and game applications. Users can connect car machines by just “touch and touch” via various apps on their phones.

The vehicle's control panel design features a star river scroll panel. The theme of the first volume of the internal Star River scroll is the "Silk Road". Designed with abstraction, elements are dotted to form a star river version of the “Silk Road". Also, the center of the control panel features a star ring scattering body. Inspired by cosmic rings and made with beautiful crystal craftsmanship, it is made with 25 grinding processes and contains multiple independent lights.

The STELATO S9 premier car regulation projection system uses the industry's brightest and widest color gamut car regulation projector, along with a 32-inch lifting projection screen, to provide a cinema-like experience. Whether in motion or parked, the Xiangjie S9 projector can be used normally. Particularly worth mentioning is that while driving, when the car is inevitably shaky, the Xiangjie S9 adopts an X-shaped connection structure and a unique motor locking method, which makes its resistance to vibration extreme. Even at the maximum speed of 80km/h, with all four windows of the car opened, the projected image remains stable.

The in-car projection giant screen size is 420*900mm, the FOV viewpoint is 90°x30°, and the projection screen can be infinitely zoomed from 32''-20''. In addition, with 100% DCI color gamut display, it has a delicate display effect. The new car is also equipped with an excellent sound system. STELATO S9 is equipped with the all-new HUAWEI SOUND® SUPERIOR, which works with a 25-unit professional-grade sound system (23+2 main driver headrests), including 7 surround sound channels, 1 subwoofer channel, and 4 sky sound channels, supporting 2080W amplifier output. It is also equipped with self-researched low-frequency dynamic fidelity algorithm and transient control algorithm, which can effectively prevent overlapping signal clutter mixing.

In terms of intelligent driving, STELATO S9 will be the first to be equipped with HUAWEI ADS 3.0 advanced intelligent driving system. It adopts a new end-to-end architecture and super cloud computing power, to comprehensively enhance intelligent driving, intelligent parking, and active safety capabilities. For example, automatic parking can drive into underground parking spaces without memory. The ADS 3.0 advanced intelligent driving system has already been introduced at the Huawei Qiankun press conference.

The design of the seats of the STELATO S9 follows ergonomics, featuring a 4-direction dual airbag waist support and 2-direction leg support adjustment for the front driver and passenger seats. In terms of functionality, all models come standard with ventilated and heated seats, massage features, with up to 42-degree three-gear seat heating and 8-point 3-mode air massage. For the seat materials, comfortable and skin-friendly materials are chosen, possessing characteristics of softness, comfort, odourlessness, abrasion resistance, and stain resistance. Lastly, there are two MagLink ports on the back of the front seats that can be used to connect a tablet and a small table.

The rear seats are the debut of the zero-gravity seats, it supports 12-way power adjustment, including 2-way power headrest adjustment and 4-way power leg support adjustment. The most important feature is that the zero-gravity seats support full stretching, the waist angle can reach up to 108°, and the knee angle can reach up to 128°. The power headrest can automatically lower 45mm. In addition, there is a small detail to mention, the zero-gravity seats are equipped with an individual electronic safety belt on the outside to meet the safe use of the zero-gravity seats in various scenarios. And it can automatically detect the seat angle for compensation to ensure the safety of the user under different scenarios and seat angles.

In terms of power, STELATO S9 is equipped with the latest Tuling platform and uses CATL's ternary lithium battery. The battery pack will come in two options: 80kWh and 100kWh. In terms of cruising range, the 80kWh rear-drive version has a CLTC cruising range of 672km, the 100kWh rear-drive version has a CLTC cruising range of 816km, and the 100kWh four-wheel-drive version has a CLTC cruising range of 665km. In terms of power, the pure electric version will have both rear-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. The rear-drive version uses a rear mounted single motor with a maximum power of 227kW, while the four-wheel-drive version adds a front axle motor with a maximum power of 158kW based on the rear-drive version.

Core Competitors

Flagship models of luxury brands with higher prices

The STELATO S9 as the latest model created by HUAWEI and BAIC New Energy, its competitors are mainly in the luxury mid-to-large sedan market. Such as Mercedes-benz S-class, BMW 7-series, and Audi A8L, etc. In terms of electric products, the Mercedes-benzEQS is also a target opponent for the STELATO S9.

For the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the STELATO S9's exterior design has a unique brand recognition. As the flagship electric vehicle of the Mercedes-Benz brand, the EQS continues Mercedes-Benz's luxury and elegance in its exterior design. However, some users have criticized its exterior design as not attractive enough.

The STELATO S9 is equipped with HUAWEI's latest technological achievements, including the Huawei Tuling Platform, HUAWEI IDVP Smart Car Digital Platform, etc. Through advanced technologies such as the multi-modal fusion perception system, HUAWEI DATS dynamic adaptive torque system, and HUAWEI XMOTION intelligent body collaborative control system, the STELATO S9 achieves a high level of intelligence and automated driving experience. In addition, the STELATO S9 also provides a variety of driving modes and scenario-assisted driving functions, such as energy-saving, comfort, sport, personalized modes, and relief functions for motion sickness. On the other hand, though the Mercedes-Benz EQS also has a rich configuration of intelligent technology, including advanced driver-assistance systems, intelligent interconnection functions, etc. However, in terms of intelligence level and technological innovation, Mercedes-bez EQS might be slightly inferior to the HUAWEI technology equipped in STELATO S9.

In terms of performance, the STELATO S9 offers Max and Ultra configurations that are equipped with rear-drive single motors and dual motors respectively. The dual motor version can achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.93 seconds, which shows its strong power performance. Meanwhile, the STELATO S9 is standard equipped with 100-degree electricity ternary lithium battery, the two-wheel drive version has a cruising range that can reach 816km, which is 3 kilometers longer than the Mercedes-Benz EQS. The dual-motor model can also reach a cruising range of 721 kilometers, and has the recharging efficiency of "200 kilometers in 5 minutes", which effectively alleviate range anxiety.

From the brand level, as a new brand, Xiangjie is far behind the century-old Mercedes-benz. But in terms of intelligence, configuration, performance and cost performance, STELATO S9 still has very good product strength, which can bring a new choice for users pursuing luxury.

The BYD Atto 3 costs at least RM149,800, and even if BYD lowers the price by RM20,000, Proton can still ensure the price advantage of the eMAS 7.
