Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On July 18, Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance ("HIMA"), Huawei's smart car alliance, announced that its flagship model, the MAEXTRO S800, has secured over 8,000 units of firm orders within 50 days of the market launch.
Previously, on June 30, HIMA reported more than 6,500-unit orders received in the first month following the model's market debut.
Co-developed by Huawei and JAC Group, the MAEXTRO S800 officially hit the market on May 30. The luxury sedan is available in four variants, with starting prices of 708,000 yuan, 788,000 yuan, 818,000 yuan, and 1.018 million yuan, respectively. The Starlight Premium and the Starlight Executive trims offer both BEV (battery electric vehicle) and REEV (range-extended electric vehicle) versions.
The model saw robust demand immediately upon its market release, recording over 1,000 units of pre-orders within the first hour, 1,600 units in 24 hours, and more than 2,600 units within 72 hours. Within 19 days, cumulative pre-orders had exceeded 5,000 units.
Visually, the MAEXTRO S800 stands out with its innovative smart electric doors, which integrate millimeter-wave and solid-state LiDAR sensors to detect both moving and stationary obstacles, automatically adjusting the opening angle up to 77 degrees. It also features a dynamic welcome light carpet.
