As the new car season following the Spring Festival draws near, a number of highly anticipated models are gearing up to make their market debut. Whether you're looking to upgrade your family car or delve into the high-end new energy vehicle market, these upcoming releases are definitely worth keeping an eye on early. Ranging from hybrid SUVs and pure electric MPVs to extended-range MPVs, each model boasts unique selling points in terms of intelligence, interior space design, and powertrain technology.

Chery Wind Cloud T9L: The All-Round Family Choice

The Chery Wind Cloud T9L has already commenced blind orders and is slated for an official launch post-Spring Festival. Measuring 4,870mm in length, 1,930mm in width, and 1,710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,920mm, it features a 5-seat configuration. Its design is inspired by an "Oriental Elegance" theme, blending a hint of traditional fuel vehicle aesthetics with modern elements like a double-layer trapezoidal grille and functional vents. Contemporary touches include semi-hidden door handles and frameless mirrors.

Step inside, and the 17.3-inch 2.5K central display commands attention, powered by a cutting-edge 3nm cockpit chip and Chery's Carmind 1.5 intelligent system, which incorporates a 1.3-billion-parameter large model. Voice interaction capabilities are set to impress. For passenger comfort, the front seats offer 16-way electric adjustment, along with ventilation, heating, and massage functions, while the second row features 35-degree electric adjustment and ventilation/heating. A thoughtful anti-motion sickness mode is included, catering specifically to family needs.

Intelligence takes center stage with a rooftop LiDAR and 27 sensors, working in tandem with Horizon Robotics' Journey 6P chip (560TOPS) to form the Falcon 700+ intelligent driving system. This system supports both urban and highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot), with Chery claiming a rapid 160ms reaction time to sudden obstacles.

Powered by Chery's Kunpeng Hybrid CDM system, the T9L delivers a combined power output of 260kW (550kW in AWD versions) and accelerates from 0-100km/h in under 5 seconds. Its CLTC pure electric range reaches 230km, with a total range of 2,000km. CDC adaptive suspension and 6+1 all-terrain modes enhance its adaptability to various driving conditions. This model is poised to become the ultimate family vehicle choice.

Buick Envision Max Pure Electric Edition: A Legacy MPV's Electric Transformation

Scheduled for release in the first half of 2026, the Buick Envision Max Pure Electric Edition has completed its necessary declarations. Its design is expected to mirror that of the plug-in hybrid version, featuring a closed grille, split headlights, and a dual-tone body with a floating roof effect. Dimensions are likely to align with the plug-in hybrid, measuring 5,260mm in length with a 3,160mm wheelbase, surpassing both the GL8 and Century models.

Powering the vehicle are dual motors (332kW front, 150kW rear), offering range options of 601km and 632km. Interior details are yet to be finalized, but the plug-in hybrid version provides a glimpse with its triple front screen setup (10.25-inch instrument cluster + dual 16.3-inch displays), a 21-inch 4K rear roof screen compatible with Switch, and a Qualcomm SA8775P chip. A 50-inch AR-HUD adds a touch of sophistication. This configuration caters to both family entertainment and business requirements.

As the electric flagship of Buick's GL8 series, the Envision Max Pure Electric Edition carries the brand's hopes for a successful push into the new energy high-end market. Its performance will significantly influence consumer confidence in traditional automakers' transition to electric vehicles.

Luxeed V9: Huawei-Powered Luxury Contender

As the first MPV to feature HarmonyOS, the Luxeed V9 makes its debut in February, targeting the 500,000-yuan luxury segment. Measuring 5,359mm in length with a 3,250mm wheelbase, it rivals the Li Auto MEGA in size and adopts a 7-seat layout. Its design emphasizes minimalism, featuring DLP projection headlights, a dynamic welcome light carpet, and a star-diamond taillight.

Inside, a triple-screen setup and rear roof screen are paired with the latest HarmonyOS cockpit. Second-row seats rotate 180 degrees electrically for easy interaction, while an onboard oxygen generator enhances comfort at high altitudes. A rooftop LiDAR hints at the integration of Huawei's ADS 3.0 intelligent driving system.

Powered by Huawei's Snow Leopard intelligent extended-range system, its 1.5T range extender delivers 115kW, with a CLTC combined range exceeding 1,250km. Huawei's DriveONE motors and Turing intelligent chassis ensure a refined driving experience. Leveraging Huawei's smart ecosystem and powertrain expertise, the V9 aims to disrupt the luxury MPV market, directly challenging the Li Auto MEGA.

Final Thoughts:

These three models embody diverse market strategies. The Chery Wind Cloud T9L represents the "all-rounder" hybrid SUV approach, balancing size, intelligence, comfort, and range for families. The Buick Envision Max Pure Electric Edition showcases how traditional brands can retain the space and comfort advantages of MPVs while integrating smart technology. The Luxeed V9 highlights tech firms' crossover strategies, utilizing extended-range systems to alleviate range anxiety and leveraging Huawei's ecosystem for differentiation.

Their launches will undoubtedly enrich consumer choices. Whether prioritizing practicality and economy, blending business and family needs, or seeking cutting-edge tech and luxury, buyers will find tailored options to suit their preferences.
