Meet the 2025 Huawei Ultra M9 Extended Range Ultra
The M9’s Makino Blue bodywork, matrix pixel LED headlights, and flush door handles announce its premium status at first glance. But it’s what lies beneath—the extended-range hybrid powertrain, HarmonyOS smart cabin, and immersive entertainment suite—that truly sets it apart for GCC buyers, large families, and forward-thinking executives.
Extended-Range Powertrain: Efficiency Without Compromise
Hybrid AWD and Range Extender Explained
At the heart of the M9 is a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder HG15T engine, serving exclusively as a range extender. This engine works in tandem with dual electric motors to deliver a combined 365 kW (489 hp) and 675 Nm of torque. The result is all-wheel drive confidence, brisk acceleration, and the flexibility to switch seamlessly between pure electric and hybrid driving—perfect for the varied demands of UAE and GCC roads.
Real-World Range and Charging Experience
Pure electric range: 275–290 km (CLTC), covering most daily commutes and city drives in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Riyadh.
Total combined range: 1,417–1,474 km (battery + petrol), making it one of the best luxury EREV SUVs for long-distance travel in the region.
Charging: DC fast charging replenishes 20–80% in about 30 minutes; a full slow charge takes around 6 hours.
Real-world scenario: A Dubai-based family embarks on a weekend trip to Muscat. They cruise the first 250 km on pure electric power, then seamlessly switch to hybrid mode for the remaining 400 km—no range anxiety, no compromise.
Performance for the GCC Roads
With 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 4.9–5.1 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h, the M9 delivers the performance expected from a flagship luxury SUV. The air suspension and variable driving modes ensure a smooth, adaptive ride—whether navigating city streets, highways, or desert roads.
First-Class Comfort: The M9’s Luxury Lounge
Zero-Gravity Seating and Second-Row Captain’s Chairs
The M9’s 2+2+2 seating layout is designed for maximum comfort and flexibility. Second-row captain’s chairs feature zero-gravity design, electric adjustment, heating, ventilation, and massage functions—offering a business-class experience for passengers. All rows benefit from plush Nappa leather and thoughtful ergonomics.
