On March 20, STELATO, the premium new energy vehicle brand jointly powered by BAIC Group and Huawei, officially opened pre-sales for the range-extended version of the S9 model, with a starting price of 318,000 yuan.
Customers who place an order now can enjoy a 2,000-yuan deposit deduction, reducing the final payment by 5,000 yuan. The model is set for an official market launch in April.
As an additional powertrain variant, the STELATO S9 range-extended version is equipped with a 1.5T range-extender hybrid system, offering a CLTC-rated battery-powered range of 365 km and a combined range of 1,355 km. The vehicle will also feature Huawei's ADS 3.3 intelligent driving system, four LiDAR sensors, and a newly optimized chassis.
In terms of design, the new variant retains the styling of the all-electric version but introduces minor refinements. It adopts a closed-off front grille, a full-width LED daytime running light, and an added chrome trim on the lower air intake, differentiating it from the exsiting version.
The STELATO S9 range-extended model measures 5,160 mm in length, 2,005 mm in width, and 1,486 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,050 mm. Compared to the all-electric version, the width has increased by 18 mm, while other dimensions remain unchanged.
According to regulatory filings from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the 1.5T four-cylinder range extender delivers a maximum power of 118 kW, while the drive motor reaches a peak output of 227 kW. The model also incorporates Huawei's latest Tuling platform with German-engineered chassis tuning, featuring upgrades in steering, braking, cornering, intelligent coordination, and Motion Sickness Relief 2.0.
