This is SAIC Maxus’ Dajia 9 plug-in hybrid MPV. Two models were launched, the long-range forest edition and the ultra-long-range forest edition, priced at 299,900 yuan (41,400 USD) and 309,900 yuan (42,800 USD), respectively.
The Dajia 9 plug-in hybrid model continues the design style of the pure electric model while adding a super hybrid logo on the rear lower right to highlight its identity. The car body adopts a dual-color design with double-sided electric sliding doors. The rear has a square shape featuring a partially split taillight group that extends to the side windows.
The Dajia 9 measures 5270/2000/1848 mm, and the wheelbase is 3200 mm, positioned as a medium-to-large MPV. The car runs on multi-spoke 19-inch rims.
The interior provides a 2+2+3 seven-seater layout.
Power comes from a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 110 kW (150 hp) and a peak torque of 235 Nm as well as an electric motor that outputs 176 kW (236 hp) and 390 Nm, mated to a 1-speed DHT. Two battery pack options are offered: 24.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate and 39.7 kWh ternary lithium, which correspond to a CLTC pure electric cruising range of 115 km and 225 km, respectively. The official comprehensive cruising range is 1,309 km. Both fast and slow chargings are supported.
Coming to the cockpit, the most eye-catching is the triple-screen design that spans across the dashboard, comprised of a 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel, a 12.3-inch central control screen, and a 12.3-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, paired with a double-spoke multi-function steering wheel.
Other configurations include a JBL 12-speaker audio system, tire pressure display, keyless entry, one-button start, an electric sunroof, electric adjustment/ventilation/heating/massage functions for the first and second-row seats, and 64-color ambient lighting. Additionally, level 2+ advanced driving assistance capabilities such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, door open warning, and blind spot monitoring are also offered.
