On 26th of November, 2024, we witnessed Huawei Mate brand event. While as a automotive industry practitioners, we were all interested in the Maextro S800, though Huawei only gave it 12 minutes and 30 seconds of the whole event. The company announced the pre-sale prices ranging from 1 million yuan to 1.5 million yuan.
Yu Chengdong introduced this masterpiece, presented by both Huawei and JAC, to the curious viewers at the event or in front of the screens, following a mysterious debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show. Everyone wants to know how exactly the million-yuan luxury car looks like.
The Maextro S800 is positioned as a D-class luxury executive sedan, adopting a design philosophy of harmony between heaven, earth, and people. The car is really big as Yu mentioned at the Guangzhou Auto Show, with a length of 5480mm, a width of 2000mm, a height of 1536mm, and an ultra-long wheelbase of 3370mm.
Yu introduced 6 main technical features of the Maextro S800, which are Super Cruise, Super Maneuverability, Super Awareness, Supper Privacy, Super Communication, Super AI, Super Protection, and Super Reability.
Furthermore, the Maextro S800 is built on the second-generation Tuling platform—the Tuling Dragon platform, which is developed in 5 years. The platform is designed under L3 intelligent driving architecture, integrating the intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and intelligent domain control into one.
Inside the cabin, it’s a combination of both luxury and technology.

- Three screens inside the cabin, including a floating full LCD instrument cluster, central control screen, and passenger entertainment screen.
- A starry sky ceiling with dynamic meteor effects.
- Two individual rear seats with genuine leather.

With a pre—sale price of 1 million yuan, it is not hard to know that the Maextro S800 aims to rival Maybach and Rolls-Royce Ghost. Will it success with the ultimate technology and luxurious configurations? We are eager to know.
