Huawei’s Maextro S800 launches May 30: China’s luxury challenger to Maybach

Maextro, the premium automotive brand under Harmony Intelligent Driving, will officially launch its flagship luxury sedan—the Maextro S800—on May 30, 2025. Positioned as China’s most advanced large luxury sedan, the S800 combines cutting-edge technology with opulent design to directly challenge high-end international offerings like the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.

Co-developed by Huawei and former Nio contract manufacturer JAC, the S800 is Maextro’s first production model and will be available with all-electric and extended-range (EREV) powertrains. It measures at 5480/2000/1536 mm with a 3370 mm wheelbase. The S800 promises a spacious interior and a refined driving experience. Power output ranges from 480 to 1300 hp across dual-motor, tri-motor, and quad-motor configurations. The EREV version supports 800V architecture and 6C fast charging, enabling its 65 kWh battery to charge from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes.

The S800’s cabin design reflects Maextro’s commitment to reimagining automotive luxury. Three interior colour themes will be offered: Purple and white, Brown and white, and a Full Brown Heritage trim. A triple-screen panoramic dashboard, HUD, and digital side mirrors integrated into the doors add futuristic flair. Interior materials include nappa leather, handcrafted wood, and crystal accents.

The launch also marks the introduction of six intelligent systems, including three world-firsts: the Maextro Turing Chassis Pro, an AI-powered adaptive suspension platform; the Guardian Angel Safety System, a full-surround active safety suite; and Starlink 5G+ Satellite Communication, developed with Huawei to maintain seamless connectivity. Additional features include the Harmony ALPS Cockpit 2.0, Maextro DriveSense 2.0 for autonomous driving, and the QuantumSafe Battery 2.0, offering over 800 km of range.
