Shangjie, the brand jointly developed by Huawei and SAIC Motor (SSE: 600104), is preparing to launch a large battery electric SUV, further expanding its rapidly growing lineup.
The Shangjie Z9 appeared in the 412th batch of vehicle filings released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on Friday.
In China, new vehicles must complete the MIIT filing process before going on sale. Such filings typically indicate a launch within the next few months.
SAIC Motor submitted 2 filings for the Z9, covering single-motor and dual-motor variants.
The SUV measures 5,139 mm in length, 2,005 mm in width and 1,776 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,086 mm.
By comparison, the Shangjie Z7 sedan, launched in April, measures 5,036 mm in length, 1,976 mm in width and 1,465 mm in height, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase.
The Z9 offers 5-seat and 6-seat configurations, with the latter available only on the dual-motor variant.
The single-motor Z9 has a rear-mounted motor with peak output of 280 kW (375 hp), a top speed of 200 km/h and a curb weight of 2,595 kg.
The dual-motor variant adds a 175 kW front motor, bringing combined output to 455 kW. It has a top speed of 210 km/h and a curb weight ranging from 2,715 kg to 2,794 kg.
Both variants use ternary lithium-ion batteries with cells supplied by CATL (SZSE: 300750).
The filings did not disclose battery capacity or driving range, details that typically appear in subsequent regulatory disclosures.
Images in the filings show the Z9 with a closed-off front fascia, a full-width taillight and roof-mounted LiDAR, suggesting it will feature Huawei's advanced driver-assistance system.
