Huawei’s HarmonyOS-backed Zhijie V9 is reshaping China’s premium MPV segment with strong early demand and deep vehicle-software integration. Launched mid-May with prices from ¥389,800–¥519,800, the 5.3m, seven-seat V9 recorded tens of thousands of reservations and rapid large-deposit signups, with an average transaction price near ¥500,000. It pairs Huawei Tuling platform hardware—range-extender powertrain options, rear-wheel steering, extensive sensor suites and L3-ready hardware—with a feature-rich HarmonyOS cabin (triple screens, rotating second-row seats, ultrafast privacy glass, HUAWEI SOUND). The V9’s reception underscores consumer appetite for tech-heavy, future-proof EVs and Huawei’s expanding influence across vehicle hardware, software and sales networks.
Huawei's Zhijie V9 shows the company's push to integrate full-stack vehicle software and hardware into premium EVs, affecting suppliers, OEMs and software teams. Tech professionals should note the blending of connectivity, autonomous hardware and in-car services that shift value from traditional auto components to software and ecosystems.

Huawei-backed HarmonyOS Intelligence (鸿蒙智行) unveiled the new AITO/Wenjie M9 lineup with two body variants: a standard model and an Ultimate long-wheelbase edition, priced from ¥479,800 to ¥649,800. The M9 debuts over 140 new technologies and more than 40 industry firsts, including a Huawei 800V dual silicon-carbide drive system with up to 903 hp, a new Whale battery platform (up to 750 km EV range, 1,405 km range for range-extender), and an advanced fusion perception ADS 5 driving system using a six-LiDAR matrix. It also features an all-domain redundant architecture, active chassis, 360° color viewing system, and a HarmonyOS-powered cockpit with multi-seat layouts. The release signals Huawei’s deepening push into premium smart EVs and vehicle software-hardware integration.
Zhao Changjiang, executive director and vice president of Zhijie Auto, posted sales results one week after the Zhijie V9 MPV launch, reporting an average transaction price of about 500,000 RMB and thanking customers for strong demand. The Zhijie V9, marketed as a panoramic smart flagship MPV under Hongmeng Zhixing, debuted on May 15 with prices from 389,800 to 519,800 RMB across four trims (V9 Max, Max+, Ultra, Ultra+). Deliveries are planned for early June, and Zhao said the company will focus on high-quality, on-time June deliveries; he also noted an unadvertised “easter egg” that the V9 has L3 autonomous driving hardware pre-installed. The figures highlight market reception for an AI/connected flagship vehicle in China’s smart EV segment.
Most newsworthy: Huawei-backed HarmonyOS-driven carmaker HarmonyOS Zhixing (鸿蒙智行) moved the launch of its new AITO/Wenjie (问界) M9 series up to May 27 at 14:30, and confirmed that large-volume deposits (大定) will open immediately after the event. The company previously reported over 50,000 cumulative pre-orders for the new generation M9 since its April 22 presale, with two trims: a standard model starting at ¥499,800 and an Ultimate long-wheelbase at ¥669,800. This matters for EV and in-car software ecosystems because the M9 is positioned as a high-volume, high-price rival in China’s premium electric SUV segment and showcases HarmonyOS-based vehicle software adoption. Key players: 鸿蒙智行 (HarmonyOS Zhixing)/AITO and the Wenjie M9 series.
Huawei-backed Zhihang (HarmonyOS Zhixing) launched its flagship MPV Zhijie V9 on May 15 with prices from ¥389,800 to ¥519,800 and deliveries starting in early June. Zhihang executive Zhao Changjiang revealed an unadvertised “easter egg”: the V9 includes hardware pre-installation for Level 3 (L3) conditional autonomous driving. The disclosure matters because China last year approved the first L3 production models for limited-area commercial use, and hardware-ready vehicles like the V9 can accelerate deployment once software, regulation and regional approvals align. The V9 aims to combine smart cockpit features with future-proof autonomous capability, positioning Zhihang competitively in the connected EV and smart mobility market.
