JAKARTA - The electric car brand, supported by technology giant Huawei, Stellato, is again scoring fantastic figures in the Chinese market. Stelato, a collaborative brand between Huawei and the Beijing Automotive Group (BAIC Group), recently launched its newest model Stelato S9T wagon which managed to collect more than 5,000 orders in the first hour.

This launch marks Huawei's strategic move to expand their portfolio under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA) alliance. Stelato S9T itself is the second model of this brand, following the success of the Stelato S9 sedan.

Quoted from CnEVPost, Wednesday, September 17, Stelato S9T comes with four variants, offering the choice of BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) and EV (Extended-Range Electric Vehicle). At an interesting starting price of 309,800 yuan (around Rp715 million), this car positions itself as a serious competitor in China's electric wagon segment.

BEV variants: Available in rear-wheel drive configurations (RWD) and all wheels (AWD). This model is powered by a 100 kWh capacity Huawei Giant Whale battery, which is claimed to be able to cover a distance of up to 801 km (standard CLTC). Acceleration of 0-100 km/hour in the AWD variant takes only 3.95 seconds.

EV variance: Only available in RWD drive. The system uses a 1.5 liter engine as a range expander to charge the battery, with a combined cruising range of 1,305 km (CLTC standard).

Huawei's Typical Sophisticated Technology

Not only in terms of performance, S9T is also equipped with Huawei's signature smart technology. This car is one of the first models to use the Huawei ADS 4 intelligent driving system. This system is supported by various advanced sensors, including one LiDAR 192-channel, three high-precision solid-state LiDARs, and five 4D millimeter wave radars.

With a length of 5,160 mm and a wheelbase of 3,050 mm, S9T offers a wide and comfortable cabin. The car also has a spacious back cargo space, well suited for family needs or long-distance travel.

The delivery of the Stelato S9T unit is scheduled to begin on September 21, following high interest from consumers. This initial sales performance shows that collaboration between tech giants such as Huawei and traditional car manufacturers is increasingly in demand in the global electric vehicle market.
