As the second plug-in hybrid model following the flagship 8X and 9X series, it adopts a differentiated positioning strategy, opening up a new path in the luxury performance SUV segment.

 

 

Exterior Design

 

 

The new model continues the family design language. The front features a large rectangular waterfall grille combined with split "Starlight Matrix" headlights, incorporating 54,894 diamond-cut surfaces. Air channels on both sides of the hood guide airflow precisely toward the windshield, enhancing aerodynamics while lowering the visual center of gravity.

 

C-shaped daytime running lights are integrated on both sides, with a roof-mounted LiDAR system. It is also equipped with dual AGS intelligent breathing grilles, which automatically adjust opening and angle based on speed and airflow, balancing aesthetics and functionality.

 

 

The side adopts a short front and rear overhang design, with "zero-gap doors" where glass and frame are flush. Strong wheel arches, a tight waistline, and an upward window line create a dynamic stance.

 

The standard version measures 5100/1998/1780 mm with a 3069 mm wheelbase, while the premium variant expands to 5108 mm length and 2026 mm width. Compared with models on the same platform, more curved surfaces are used to emphasize sportiness.Wheel options include 20-inch, 21-inch, and 22-inch sizes for different driving needs.

 

 

The rear design is full and muscular, with a 1.12 width-height ratio, delivering a wide and low performance stance. It features a full-width "coastline" taillight with diamond-cut detailing and a central brand logo.

 

Combined with a roof spoiler and chrome-accented diffuser, the rear achieves strong visual layering and recognition. The design echoes the front, maintaining simplicity without excessive decoration, aligning with its luxury performance positioning.

 

Color options include Cloud Red, Moon Gray, Basalt Gray, Black, and White. The all-black version stands out for visibility and safety, while the premium variant offers exclusive matte and carbon-fiber styling elements.

 

 

Interior and Space Experience

 

The cabin follows a "mobile living room" concept with a wraparound layered layout. Materials include wood trim and stone-like panels, combined with soft Nappa leather and suede headliner, balancing luxury and sustainability. Interior color options include white-black, brown-black, full black, and red-black.

 

 

The dashboard features a dual-screen setup (center + passenger display), along with a digital instrument cluster and HUD. Physical buttons are retained for usability.

 

The smart cockpit is powered by a Qualcomm 8295 chip in the base version, upgraded to dual 8295 chips in higher trims. High-end models also feature a 29-speaker Naim premium sound system for immersive audio.

 

Seating includes five-seat standard and optional six-seat layouts. All seats use Nappa leather and support electric adjustment, 22-point massage, heating, ventilation, and memory. The driver seat includes active side bolsters.

 

 

Higher trims offer rear zero-gravity seats, rear screens, a 17-inch ceiling display, folding tables, and footrests. Additional features include tri-zone climate control, panoramic roof, electric sunshades, and a 9.5L cooling/heating box (-6°C to 50°C), controllable via screens, app, or voice.
