2026 Luxeed RX: Ferrari-Designed Coupe-SUV Packs 586 HP and 4 LiDARs

Luxeed just broke its own naming convention. Where the brand's earlier models carry a letter and a number — S7, R7 and V9 — the newest model out of the Huawei/Chery joint venture is simply the RX, the first X-named car in Huawei's HIMA family, which also includes AITO, Stelato, and Maextro. Pre-orders opened August 20, 2026, the RX made its public show debut at the Chengdu Auto Show, and Luxeed launched it in China on September 28, 2026 in six versions, from CNY 259,800 (about $38,700) to CNY 389,800 (about $58,000). It is a fully electric coupe-SUV with a fastback roofline, exterior styling credited in Chinese and Western coverage to a former Ferrari exterior designer, and a range-topping dual-motor version good for roughly 586 hp. Luxeed is positioning it as a direct shot at the Xiaomi YU7.

Performance & Specs

The Luxeed RX is a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) — there is no plug-in hybrid or range-extended version. It is built on Huawei's 800V silicon-carbide drive platform and comes in two motor layouts. The single-motor setup is a 277 kW (371 hp) rear motor. The all-wheel-drive setup adds a 160 kW (215 hp) front motor to the same 277 kW rear unit for a combined system output of 437 kW, which converts to approximately 586 hp. The six versions use two battery sizes. The Max (CNY 259,800) and Ultra (CNY 319,800) carry an 81.1 kWh LFP pack and are rated at 672 km and 702 km CLTC. The Max Long Range (CNY 289,800) and Ultra Long Range (CNY 349,800) pair a 100 kWh NCM pack with the single rear motor for 822 km and 852 km CLTC. The two all-wheel-drive versions, the Ultra AWD (CNY 369,800) and the Ultra+ (CNY 389,800), also use a 100 kWh NCM pack and are rated at 753 km and 700 km CLTC; the Ultra+ rides on 22-inch wheels. Luxeed quotes 3.6 seconds for 0–100 km/h and a 32.4-meter 100–0 km/h braking distance for the Ultra AWD (tested on 21-inch wheels), a 251 km/h top speed, a maximum motor speed of 21,000 rpm and a torque response of 1 ms or less. A Boost mode temporarily raises torque by 10%. Peak torque has not been published. Curb weights in the MIIT type-approval filing run from 2,250 to 2,400 kg depending on configuration. The chassis pairs a full-aluminum double-wishbone front and five-link rear with a near 50:50 weight balance, and higher trims add a dual-chamber air suspension with dual-valve continuously variable damping.

Width	2,007 mm
Height	1,585 mm
Wheelbase	3,000 mm
Ground clearance	Not published
Seats	5

At just over 5 meters long on a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the RX sits in the mid-to-large SUV bracket, comparable in footprint to cars like the Xiaomi YU7 it's aimed at (it is 21 mm longer). Luxeed and HIMA describe it as an "FUV" — a fashion utility vehicle — and the numbers back that framing: proportions include roughly a 1:2 wheel-to-body-height ratio and a 1.26 width-to-height ratio, both closer to a sports coupe than a traditional boxy SUV. The fastback roofline and closed front fascia (there's no engine to feed air to) reinforce the coupe-SUV positioning. Five-seat capacity is confirmed, along with a 622-liter trunk plus a 30-liter hidden compartment and a hands-free Knock Knock opening function. Luxeed has not published frunk volume or ground clearance. Wheels range from 20 to 22 inches depending on version, with staggered 255 mm front and 275 mm rear tires.

Charging & Battery

Luxeed rates every RX version for a 30–80% DC fast charge in about 15 minutes on Huawei's 800V platform. The company has not published an AC onboard-charger rating or a DC peak kilowatt figure. The battery lineup is an 81.1 kWh LFP pack on the Max and Ultra versions, and a 100 kWh NCM pack on the Max Long Range, Ultra Long Range, Ultra AWD and Ultra+. Both run on Huawei's "Giant Whale" battery platform.

Design & Interior

The RX's exterior is widely credited to Werner Gruber, described in coverage as a former senior exterior designer at Ferrari, though some outlets have flagged unresolved questions around exactly how his role on this project is characterized — worth treating as a notable but not fully settled credit. Visually, the car leans into that pedigree: a closed, illuminated front fascia housing the Luxeed logo, L-shaped headlights, and a fastback silhouette that tapers toward a full-width C-shaped light bar and an active rear diffuser. Luxeed offers six body colors — Butterfly Blue, Star Rose Pink, Titanium Silver, green, Obsidian Black and Warm Cloud White — headlined by the Butterfly Blue finish, which uses an eight-plus-layer nano-scale pigment structure to shift between blue and purple depending on the angle of light.

Inside, the cabin follows a symmetrical "floating wing" layout with a full digital instrument cluster, a 16.1-inch center screen that swivels toward the driver, an 8.88-inch passenger screen and a 26-inch augmented-reality head-up display. The front seats use 98 pressure sensors and 27 air bladders to adjust support in real time, with ventilation, heating, massage and a driver's zero-gravity mode. Other listed features include a dual-view rear-view mirror (conventional plus electronic), a panoramic roof with an electric shade layer, a 21-speaker Huawei Sound system and a 7.7-liter onboard cooler box, with availability varying by version.

Technology & Features

The headline technology story is the RX's four-LiDAR hardware set, fitted to the Ultra versions: one 896-line dual-optical-path imaging LiDAR at the front plus three solid-state units, part of a 38-sensor suite. The entry Max versions use a single in-cabin LiDAR, and every version supports highway and urban navigation-assisted driving, automated parking and valet parking, with further functions arriving by over-the-air updates. The hardware runs Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance system on an architecture designed for Level 3 driving, with redundancy across perception, braking, positioning, power supply, steering, communications, interaction and computing. Luxeed says the RX has obtained a Level 3 road-test permit; Huawei itself describes ADS 5 as driver assistance, not self-driving, and some functions need over-the-air upgrades or paid activation. The cockpit runs Huawei's HarmonyOS cockpit 6, tying into the same phone, tablet and smart-home ecosystem AITO and Stelato buyers already use. On the power side, Huawei's 800V platform delivers a 30–80% charge in about 15 minutes, and the drive system spins to 21,000 rpm with a torque response of 1 ms or less.

Safety & ADAS

Luxeed sells the RX as a driver-assistance vehicle, not a self-driving one, but the hardware points toward a serious push into high-level automated driving. The Ultra versions carry the full four-LiDAR array — an 896-line dual-optical-path unit plus three high-precision solid-state units — within a 38-sensor suite, while the Max versions use a single in-cabin LiDAR. All run Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 with the CAS 5.0 collision-avoidance system on an architecture with backups across eight systems, designed for Level 3 scenarios; Gasgoo notes this describes the vehicle architecture rather than an approved L3 driving system. The body uses 90.5% high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, with 38.38 meters of hot-formed steel and a torsional rigidity of 51,040 N·m/deg, and the car has seven airbags. Crash-safety ratings and a feature-by-feature list of AEB, lane-keep and blind-spot behavior have not been published.

ADAS LEVEL	Driver assistance (Huawei ADS 5) on an L3-ready architecture; Level 3 road-test permit, not an approved L3 system
ADAS FEATURES	Ultra versions: 4-LiDAR (896-line dual-optical-path + 3 solid-state), 38 sensors; Max versions: in-cabin LiDAR; highway and urban NOA, automated and valet parking, CAS 5.0 collision avoidance, 8-system redundancy

Pricing & Availability

Luxeed opened pre-orders for the RX on August 20, 2026 and put it on sale in China on September 28, 2026 in six versions: Max at CNY 259,800 (about $38,700), Max Long Range at CNY 289,800 (about $43,100), Ultra at CNY 319,800 (about $47,600), Ultra Long Range at CNY 349,800 (about $52,100), Ultra AWD at CNY 369,800 (about $55,000) and Ultra+ at CNY 389,800 (about $58,000), all converted at roughly 6.72 CNY per USD. Customers who order now can receive limited-time benefits worth up to CNY 40,500. A delivery schedule has not been published in launch coverage. No export markets have been announced; the RX is a China-only launch for now, aimed squarely at domestic rivals like the Xiaomi YU7, whose standard version starts at CNY 233,500.

How It Compares

The car Luxeed is explicitly gunning for is the Xiaomi YU7, and the closest apples-to-apples matchup at the top of the range is the YU7 GT, which out-powers even the RX's AWD versions (660 hp against 586 hp) and starts at CNY 389,900 — a hair above the RX Ultra+ at CNY 389,800. At the other end, the standard YU7 starts at CNY 233,500, about CNY 26,000 below the RX Max, so the RX asks a premium for its LiDAR-and-Huawei package. The ZEEKR 7X Ultra brings nearly identical power to the RX's AWD versions at a broadly similar price, and both lean into a sportier, coupe-flavored SUV silhouette rather than a boxier family shape. The AVATR 07, another Huawei-software-adjacent EV SUV, lists between the RX Max and Ultra prices but with notably more power (578 hp) than any rear-drive RX (371 hp), a useful reality check on where the RX's value sits: in the ADAS hardware, 800V charging and range rather than raw single-motor output.
