Where Eastern Elegance Meets Functionality
The V9 pioneers a dual-front fascia strategy: The “Chinese Knot” design features vertical chrome grille bars interlaced with cultural symbolism, paired with elegant tassel-style lighting. In contrast, the “Cloud Ladder” variant employs horizontal chrome accents and phoenix-wing LED clusters for a bolder, more luxurious presence. Its commanding 5,251 mm length (135 mm longer than the Toyota Sienna) and 1,820 mm height create a majestic profile while maximizing interior volume. Practical elegance continues with hidden magic-sliding doors, a full-width taillight strip, and up to 19-inch alloy wheels (top trim), solidifying its premium MPV identity.
The Hybrid Endurance King
Hybrid Architecture: Powered by the record-setting 45.18% thermal efficiency Maher 1.5TD hybrid engine, coupled with an efficient e-drive system. Output peaks at 228 kW and 540 N·m, enabling a swift 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8.8 seconds;
Battery Tech: Features a 34.944 kWh LFP “Armor Battery” (entry trim: 20.156 kWh) with four-dimensional protection, operable down to -18°C. Delivers a 200 km pure electric range (CLTC), supports DC fast charging (30-80% in 30 mins), and offers 3.3 kW V2L external discharge;
Efficiency Mastery: Achieves a 1,300 km CLTC combined range with a class-leading charge-sustaining fuel consumption of 5.27L/100km – outperforming the hybrid Sienna (5.66L) and balancing power with economy.
Human-centric design permeates the cabin:
First-Class Seating: Second-row aviation seats offer 12-way electric adjustment with ventilation/heating/massage. A 1,020 mm ultra-long slide rail enables lateral movement, while a 210 mm central aisle ensures effortless third-row access;
Transformative Flexibility: Third-row seats fold flat into a recessed floor, expanding cargo space from 593L to a van-like 2,792L. Fully deployed, it creates an 1.8-meter “starry sky bed” for camping;
Digital Ecosystem: A 41-inch tri-screen dashboard (12.3″ instrument + 16.2″ central + 12.3″ co-pilot) runs on a Snapdragon 8155 chip with Tencent TAI 4.0 OS. Quad-zone voice control ensures seamless interaction;
Serene Ambience: Double-layer laminated glass reduces highway noise to 25.2 dB. Combined with a panoramic sunroof and aroma diffuser, it crafts a “deep-sea” quiet cabin experience.
L2+ Guardian for Peace of Mind
Driving Assistance: Features Highway NOA (auto lane change/ramp navigation), supported by 5 mm-wave radars + 12 ultrasonic sensors. Enables ACC, 50m trace reverse, and fully automated parking;
Protection Redefined: Ultra-rigid 1,500 MPa steel body structure. The battery undergoes quadruple safety validation. Innovative additions include driver fatigue monitoring and a rear cabin life detection system, preventing child/pet entrapment risks.
Engineering Integrity Meets User Focus
Dongfeng Fengxing rejects cutthroat pricing wars, opting for “value innovation” backed by ¥20B R&D investment:
World’s first mass-produced 48.18% thermal efficiency hybrid engine, redefining efficiency standards;
Segment-exclusive fold-flat third row + lateral sliding captain chairs, maximizing spatial versatility;
Lifetime battery warranty + free roadside assistance, underscoring its state-owned enterprise reliability.
Verdict
The Xinghai V9 transcends mere spec-sheet excellence. It masterfully integrates Eastern aesthetics, hybrid innovation, spatial ingenuity, and intelligent tech under the singular vision of being the ultimate family mobility solution. With a starting price of ¥199,900 – effectively “reshuffling the deck” in a segment crowded with ¥300,000+ competitors – and a limited-time swap offer as low as ¥161,900 (until June 30)2, it delivers unprecedented value. For families seeking uncompromised comfort, efficiency, and versatility, the V9 isn’t just an option; it’s the new benchmark.
