2027 Huawei Stelato G9 REV: 586 HP Off-Roader With Up to 1,356 km Range

The Stelato G9 is Huawei's first off-road SUV, built with BAIC under the HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) ecosystem that already produces the AITO and Luxeed lineups. Officially launched in China on August 20, 2026, the G9 pairs a boxy, Defender-inspired body with Huawei's 800V "Giant Whale" battery platform, offered in both range-extender (EREV) and pure-electric (BEV) form. Every version shares the same 437 kW (586 hp) dual-motor AWD system, but the range-extender is the headline story: the top battery option stretches combined range to an CLTC-rated 1,356 km, while the pure-EV version tops out at 728 km on a single charge. Pricing runs from 429,800 yuan ($63,390) for the entry Max+ REV trim to 549,800 yuan ($81,013) for the loaded Ultra+, positioning the G9 against premium Chinese EREV SUVs like the Li Auto L9 and ZEEKR 9X. This is a genuinely rugged, tech-heavy family off-roader rather than a soft-road crossover, with air suspension, a disconnecting front stabilizer bar, and Huawei's newest driver-assist hardware standard across the range.

Performance & Specs

Every Stelato G9, REV or BEV, uses the same dual-motor AWD layout: a 160 kW front motor and a 277 kW rear motor for a combined 437 kW (586 hp) system output. Huawei's own configuration sheet lists combined torque of 658 Nm on the entry Max+ trim (208 Nm front / 450 Nm rear) rising to roughly 727 Nm on the higher Ultra and Ultra+ grades, which use a stronger 277 Nm front motor. Official 0-100 km/h times range from 5.4 seconds on the base trim to 4.6 seconds on Ultra/Ultra+, with top speed electronically capped at 220 km/h across the lineup — all figures the reviewer in the source video also cites on camera. The REV version uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine purely as a generator, with a 62-liter fuel tank and a stated 7.4 L/100 km consumption rate (CLTC) when running in range-extending mode. Underneath, the G9's "Turing" all-terrain chassis pairs dual-chamber air suspension with continuously variable damping, a front stabilizer bar that disconnects for articulation, and up to 12 degrees of rear-wheel steering, plus seven selectable terrain modes for a genuinely off-road-capable chassis rather than a styling exercise.

Dimensions & Practicality

Length	5,377 mm (5,206 mm without rear storage box)
Width	2,050 mm
Height	1,897 mm
Wheelbase	3,160 mm
Ground clearance	Up to 282 mm (air suspension raised)

At 5,206 mm long (5,377 mm with the optional rear-mounted storage box fitted, as on the car in this review) on a 3,160 mm wheelbase, the G9 is a genuinely full-size off-roader, closer in footprint to a Land Cruiser than a typical crossover. Ground clearance runs from a standard 202 mm up to 282 mm with the air suspension raised, and Huawei rates wading depth at 900 mm — serious numbers for a vehicle this tech-laden. Buyers choose 5- or 6-seat layouts: the 5-seat gets 978 liters of cargo space behind the second row, expanding to roughly 2,058 liters with the second row folded, while the 6-seat drops to 370 liters behind the third row (1,198 liters with the third row folded flat). There is no confirmed front-trunk figure, and Huawei's materials don't list one. The tested car rides on optional 22-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires sized 285/45R22, versus the standard 20-inch wheel; both front seats get zero-gravity recline, heating, ventilation, and massage functions, and a fold-down storage box between the doors and armrest was shown on camera as an added cubby.

Charging & Battery

The Stelato G9's 800V "Giant Whale" platform is shared across both powertrains. The REV version offers a 56 kWh pack on the entry Max+ trim (310 km EV range, CLTC) or a 75.4 kWh pack on Ultra and Ultra+ (400 km EV range, CLTC); the BEV version carries a single 120 kWh pack rated at up to 728 km CLTC. Huawei quotes a 20-80% DC fast-charge time of roughly 15 minutes across the lineup, a genuinely quick figure enabled by the 800V architecture, though the brand has not published an exact peak charging-power figure. REV owners can also top up the battery from the range-extender engine itself, or simply run on the 62-liter fuel tank when the battery is depleted, with Huawei quoting roughly 7.4 L/100 km fuel consumption (CLTC) in generator mode.

Design & Interior

The G9's design leans hard into rugged-luxury cues rather than the smoother, more aerodynamic look of Huawei's AITO and Luxeed sedans: a flat hood, boxy fenders, visible side steps, roof rails, and dual circular LED taillights that echo classic off-roaders. The most distinctive touch is an optional rear-mounted, electrically operated storage box on the tailgate — styled like a spare-wheel cover but actually a lockable cargo compartment with a cargo net inside, aimed squarely at campers, and the reason the car's length grows by 171 mm when fitted. Up front, LED daytime running lights, headlights, and high/low beams flank a closed-off face typical of an EV/EREV that doesn't need a conventional grille for cooling. Inside, the cabin mixes Alcantara trim with a two-row (or three-row, on the 6-seat) leather-lined layout, a large horizontal infotainment display running Huawei's HarmonyOS-based interface (with a switchable English-language UI, useful for export buyers), a head-up display, and a power-adjustable steering column. Both front seats get zero-gravity recline plus heating, ventilation, and massage, and the panoramic glass roof stretches back over the second and third rows for a noticeably open cabin.

Technology & Features

The G9 runs Huawei's latest HarmonyOS-based infotainment system, controlled through the center touchscreen, steering-wheel buttons, or Huawei's voice assistant, with settings for everything from charge-port release to power-tailgate operation handled on-screen. An automatic parking-assist system is standard, and the onboard compressor refrigerator — shown in the source video alongside the drink/ticket holders on the center console — targets the same road-trip use case as the rear storage box. Huawei's ADS 5 driver-assist suite is the headline tech story: the platform has been approved for Level 3 autonomous-driving pilot testing on public roads in Beijing at speeds up to 120 km/h, one of the more advanced approvals granted to a Chinese consumer SUV to date, though this remains a regulated pilot program rather than a feature every buyer can activate everywhere.

Safety & ADAS

Every Stelato G9 comes with Huawei's ADS 5.0 driver-assist hardware standard: a new-generation dual-path, image-level LiDAR unit paired with a total of 38 sensors (cameras, radar, and ultrasonic units) around the vehicle. That hardware set underpins both everyday L2+ features — adaptive cruise, lane-centering, automatic parking — and the car's approval for Beijing's Level 3 pilot-testing program at up to 120 km/h, a notable step beyond the L2+ systems most rivals in this price bracket offer.

Pricing & Availability

The Stelato G9 opened pre-orders on August 5, 2026 and officially went on sale on August 20, 2026, with pricing from 429,800 yuan ($63,390) for the Max+ REV 5-seat up to 549,800 yuan ($81,013) for a fully loaded Ultra+ in either powertrain, 6-seat layout. Every price point offers a choice between 5- and 6-seat configurations and, on Ultra and Ultra+ trims, a choice between the REV range-extender and the pure-electric BEV powertrain at identical pricing. The G9 is sold through Huawei's HIMA retail network in China alongside AITO, Luxeed, and Maextro. Huawei and BAIC have not announced an international rollout for the G9 as of this writing.

How It Compares

Against the ZEEKR 9X REV, the closest direct rival and one the source video's reviewer names outright as a comparison point, the G9 trails badly on paper power (586 hp vs 646 hp) and undercuts it slightly on combined range (1,356 km vs 1,200 km) while costing about $4,300 more at entry. The Li Auto L9, the car that essentially created this premium EREV-SUV segment, lands almost exactly on the G9's entry price with similar power and marginally less range, making it the most natural cross-shop of the three. The IM LS9 REV costs more than the G9's entry trim but undercuts its Ultra grade, with broadly comparable power and range — a reminder that Huawei is entering an already crowded, well-specified segment rather than creating a new one. The G9's real differentiators against all three are its off-road-specific hardware (air suspension, disconnecting stabilizer bar, 900 mm wading depth) and its L3 pilot-testing approval, neither of which shows up in a spec-sheet comparison.
