Chery and Huawei have launched the Luxeed RX in China, a large electric SUV that stands out for more than just its specifications. The brand claims it has become the fastest Chinese electric SUV on the Zhejiang International Circuit, outperforming the Xiaomi YU7 Max. The model is available at a starting price of 259,800 yuan, approximately 33,774 euros at current exchange rates, with a maximum range of 852 kilometers (CLTC).
Luxeed is the joint brand of Chery (OMODA and JAECOO) and Huawei, part of the HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) network alongside Aito, Stelato, Maextro, and Saic (Shangjie). In addition to the RX, the Luxeed lineup includes the sedan S7, the SUV coupe R7, and the minivan V9. The RX now joins this family as the latest model, having already sparked some controversy over its design created by Werner Gruber, a designer who has worked at Pininfarina, Ferrari, and Saleen.
A five-seater SUV with a distinctly Italian design
The Luxeed RX is a large five-seater SUV with a design language that is unusual for an electric vehicle: a long hood and a significant distance between the dashboard and the front axle, features that make it visually resemble the Ferrari Purosangue at first glance. Its dimensions are 5,020 mm in length, 2,007 mm in width, and 1,585 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm—21 mm longer than the Xiaomi YU7. It is equipped with 20 or 22 inch wheels fitted with tires of different widths, 255 mm in the front and 275 mm in the back. The trunk offers a standard capacity of 622 liters plus 30 liters of hidden storage in the dual floor.
The cabin features a digital mirror, a large 16.1-inch floating center screen, an 8.88-inch screen for the passenger, an LCD instrument panel, and a 26-inch head-up display. The RX is equipped with a total of 38 sensors and four LiDAR units, one of which has 896 lines of resolution. With this setup, the Luxeed RX is capable of driving automatically from one lane to another, though the driver must remain alert at all times.
A 371 HP rear engine or dual engines totaling up to 586 HP
A single rear electric motor powers the entry-level version of the Luxeed RX, delivering 277 kW (371 HP) of power. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant offers a maximum power output of 437 kW (586 HP). There are three battery options available, with capacities of 81.1 kWh, 100.25 kWh, and 100.42 kWh, suitable for ranges of 700 to 852 kilometers (CLTC). In terms of performance and driving experience, Luxeed claims that an RX Ultra+ completed one lap around the Zhejiang International Circuit in 1:43.210, compared to 1:43.384 for the Xiaomi YU7 Max.
To achieve this high level of sportiness, the chassis features active suspension and boasts a body stiffness of over 50,000 Nm per degree. The structure uses 90.5% high-strength steel and aluminum alloys, including 38.38 meters of hot-formed steel, with ten components made from material rated at 2,200 MPa and two at 2,400 MPa.
Six versions compared to the Xiaomi YU7
The Luxeed RX is already available in China with prices ranging from 259,800 to 389,800 yuan, or between 33,774 and 50,674 euros. For reference, the Xiaomi YU7 starts at 233,500 yuan in China, which is around 30,355 euros. The full range is as follows:
