People Can’t Believe These Stunning Cars Are Made in China

7. Zunjie S800

Zunjie S800

The Zunjie S800 — sold internationally as the Maextro S800 — is Huawei's answer to the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Mercedes-Maybach. Made in collaboration with JAC Group and powered by Huawei's full technology stack, it launched in May 2025 as the most expensive and most technologically advanced Chinese production car ever sold.

This isn't Huawei dipping its toes into the auto industry. This is Huawei going directly after Rolls-Royce.

The Lineup (China Prices in USD)

  • S800 Pure EV (Dual Motor): ~$97,000, AWD, ~536 hp, ~436 mi range (CLTC)

  • S800 Pure EV (Tri Motor): ~$118,000, AWD, ~804 hp, 0–60 ~3.0s

  • S800 Extended Range: ~$110,000, AWD + 1.5T generator, ~900+ mi total range

  • S800 Extended Range (top): ~$140,000, AWD tri-motor + generator, Flagship, full spec

Why It's a Big Deal

  • Size: Enormous — 5,480 mm long with a 3,370 mm wheelbase. Longer than a long-wheelbase Maybach. It commands the road.

  • The Celestial Design: The exterior design language is called "Vertical and Horizontal Starry Sky" — dual-megapixel adaptive headlights, "Nebula Scroll" taillights that shift like a galaxy, and "Star Catcher" door handles. It is theatrical in the best possible way.

  • Audio: A 43-speaker, 2,920-watt Huawei Sound Ultimate surround system with 10 ceiling-mounted speakers and dedicated tweeters built into every seat's headrest. Each seat has its own sound bubble — the front row can't hear the rear row's audio if they choose.

  • Seats: "ActiveSafe Zero-Gravity" seats that automatically adjust based on driving conditions, posture sensing, and can be gesture-controlled. Lighting in each seat adjusts to your posture in real time.

  • Tech: Huawei ADS 4 autonomous driving (L3 architecture), 32 external sensors, HarmonyOS ALPS Cockpit 2.0, and Huawei's own Jujing battery platform.

  • Charging: 800V architecture — pure EV variants charge at ultra-high speed. The extended-range trims add a 1.5T engine as a generator, giving over 900 miles of total range — eliminating range anxiety entirely.

  • Suspension: Huawei's intelligent chassis system with active air suspension, fully adaptive to road conditions and passenger posture.

  • Trunk: 445L lined with tufted carpet — a small detail that speaks loudly about who this car is for.
