Gasgoo Munich-On August 5, 2026, HIMA's MAEXTRO brand officially launched its era-defining flagship MPVs in Shenzhen: the MAEXTRO V800 and V680. The V800 arrives in three trims—Exclusive, Executive, and Navigational—priced from 766,000 yuan, 866,000 yuan, and 1.016 million yuan respectively. As the brand's first MPV and HIMA's priciest model to date, the V800 targets the elite government, business, and private transport sectors. Built on the MAEXTRO Tuling Longxing platform, it features Huawei's new Whale battery platform and an architecture designed for Level 3 autonomous driving. Pre-orders hit 10,000 units within 23 days of the launch, with the V800 accounting for roughly 80% of that total. Deliveries are slated to begin in September, with the Pioneer edition arriving early in the month and other versions following late September.
Power & Charging: Huawei Whale 800V High-Voltage Platform and 1.5T Range Extender
The V800 employs a range-extender powertrain, utilizing a 1.5T turbo engine (127 kW max output) as a generator paired with a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive system—160 kW at the front axle and 230 kW at the rear. System output reaches 390 kW (roughly 530 horsepower). Across the lineup, the vehicle uses Huawei's Whale 800V high-voltage battery platform equipped with a 65 kWh 6C ternary lithium battery pack. CLTC pure electric range is 340 km, while total range extends up to 1,335 km. It supports 800V fast charging, with official data indicating a significant energy boost in about 11 minutes; specifically, 10 minutes adds 200 km of range. CATL is the exclusive battery supplier, while JAC manufactures the range extender. This powertrain combo ensures long-haul capability while delivering class-leading power reserves for an MPV. Official zero-to-100 km/h acceleration clocks in at the 4-second level.

Intelligent Driving: Qiankun ADS 5.0 and L3 Native Architecture
Intelligent driving is the V800's core differentiator. The entire lineup comes standard with 40 driver-assistance sensors, including a stereo matrix composed of six LiDAR units—one 896-line dual-optical image-grade LiDAR, one shared-optical in-cabin laser vision radar, and four high-precision solid-state LiDARs. The vehicle carries 40 sensors in total: 17 facing forward, 13 rearward, and 10 side-facing. This suite includes 11 cameras, five 4D millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and six exterior microphones, achieving blind-spot-free perception in all directions. Safety is bolstered by 14 airbags covering all passengers. It debuts Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5.0 system. Notably, the V800 adopts a native vehicle architecture designed for Level 3 autonomous driving, featuring quadruple redundancy: dual sensors, dual connectors, dual SoC chips, and dual power circuits. Huawei Executive Director Yu Chengdong stated at the conference, "We are just waiting for the national L3 regulations to land to go commercial." Both the LiDAR and intelligent driving chips are supplied in-house by Huawei. In terms of hardware specs, the V800's standard six-LiDAR setup far exceeds the Level 2 assistance typical of traditional luxury MPVs.
Smart Cockpit: HarmonyOS and Huawei Sound
The cockpit is built on HarmonyOS, featuring an integrated triple-screen setup up front and a head-up display (HUD). The rear is equipped with a 41.6-inch projection screen that supports NFC tap-to-share content. The cabin also includes a 6.6-inch MagLink Mini control screen, which is magnetic and removable. For audio, the vehicle carries the MPV-customized HUAWEI SOUND ULTIMATE series, with 41 speakers arranged throughout the car. Deep integration with the HarmonyOS ecosystem ensures seamless content flow between the vehicle's infotainment system and mobile devices like phones and tablets.
In terms of interior configuration, the V800 displays distinct "Chinese luxury" characteristics. An innovative L-shaped elevated center console creates a partition between the front and rear cabins, integrating charging ports, biometric lockers, and refrigeration. An optional private drink bar offers one-touch extraction of Americano, Italian coffee, or tea. It features a scrolling interactive starlight headliner with 1,608 independently controlled LED beads capable of displaying dynamic lighting effects like meteor showers and fireworks. A hidden smart electric shoe box includes a sterilization and deodorization system. The second-row "Lingyun" seats utilize a 20-layer composite structure, supporting all-around constant heating and 20 independent massage points. The V800 also features a "Mood Energy Cabin" system developed in collaboration with the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, providing deep sleep and focus-awakening modes based on neuroacoustic principles. On the cockpit level, both HarmonyOS and HUAWEI SOUND are provided by Huawei.

Chassis & Body: Tuling Longxing Platform and Fully Active Suspension
The chassis is built on the MAEXTRO Tuling Longxing exclusive platform. The V800 is the industry's first MPV to feature an 800V fully active suspension, paired with dual-chamber air suspension and dual-valve CDC continuously variable damping shock absorbers, achieving millisecond-level active chassis adjustment. Rear-wheel steering of ±12° comes standard, resulting in an official minimum turning radius of approximately 5.4 meters and supporting "crab mode." The vehicle is also the first MPV in the industry to adopt steer-by-wire technology, where the steering ratio varies seamlessly with speed and driving mode, backed by a triple redundancy design for safety. The body employs an 11-crossmember, 11-rail "Xuanwu" architecture, with ultra-high-strength steel and aluminum-magnesium alloys accounting for 88.2% of the structure. The front and rear anti-collision beams use aerospace-grade 7-series aluminum alloy, and the roof can withstand a maximum pressure of 17.9 tons. The V800's body dimensions measure 5,495 x 2,006 x 1,850 mm, with a wheelbase of 3,430 mm and a drag coefficient as low as 0.259 Cd. At the chassis level, the Tuling Longxing platform utilizes the HUAWEI XMC Qiankun digital chassis engine to achieve intelligent, coordinated control across six domains.
Supply Chain Watch: Deep Coupling of JAC Manufacturing and Huawei's Full-Stack Tech
The V800's supply chain model exhibits a distinct "dual-core drive" characteristic. In terms of vehicle manufacturing, JAC Automotive has invested in a dedicated MAEXTRO super factory, leveraging decades of R&D experience in vehicle chassis and body structures to handle production and chassis tuning. On the intelligent technology front, Huawei is deeply involved in core systems including power (Whale 800V platform and electric drive system), intelligent driving (ADS 5.0 system and six-LiDAR matrix), cockpit (HarmonyOS and HUAWEI SOUND audio), and chassis (Tuling Longxing platform and digital chassis engine). Batteries are exclusively supplied by CATL, while the range extender is produced by JAC Automotive. This "JAC manufacturing + Huawei full-stack intelligence" cooperation model follows the same path as the previous MAEXTRO S800. From an industry perspective, this model not only improves system integration efficiency but also concentrates core technology heavily within Huawei, reflecting Huawei's strategic evolution in the intelligent automotive sector from a top-tier component supplier (Tier 1) to a full-stack intelligent solution provider.
To break down the core product competitiveness of this large range-extender MPV, Gasgoo Automotive has systematically compiled the supplier information for the MAEXTRO V800's core components. We also welcome industry friends to exchange insights and continuously refine this list.
