3 · Everyday experience
What is the LS9 like to drive and use every day?
Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.
Driving & performance
Typical trims are strong, with a further step up on higher trims.
Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.
Published evidence
- • Published power spans 380–390 kW across current trims.
- • Published 0–100 km/h times span 4.9 sec 0–100 km/h.
- • Drivetrain choices: Dual-motor all-wheel drive.
- The dual-motor four-wheel drive offers swift starts and instant power; the air suspension provides adequate support, with good roll control on curves.
- The 380kW power, coupled with four-wheel drive, provides strong acceleration performance.
- There is a slight delay in power response when the range extender is engaged.
Cabin comfort
Core comfort equipment is consistent across the lineup.
This conclusion uses only direct seat, suspension and climate equipment. Body dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.
Published evidence
- • Second-row functions — Standard across all trims.
- • Suspension — Standard across all trims.
- • Climate control — Standard across all trims.
- The second row of independent seats with zero gravity offers excellent space and comfort; the air suspension provides excellent shock absorption, handling bumps gently.
- The second row of independent seats with zero gravity function offers a seating experience comparable to MPVs.
- The third row space is only suitable for children or short-distance emergencies.
Space & practicality
Paying more does not buy a larger body or longer wheelbase.
All current trims use the same key body dimensions, so trim choice changes equipment and performance rather than cabin size.
Published evidence
- • Seating capacity: 6 seats.
- • Body length: 5,279 mm, unchanged by trim.
- • Wheelbase: 3,160 mm, unchanged by trim.
- • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
- • Keyless access — Standard across all trims.
- The CLTC has a combined range of 1454km, pure electric range of 320km, and extremely low fuel consumption in extended range mode.
- The actual pure electric range may be reduced due to low temperatures.
- 800V fast charging is fast and convenient for recharging; the trunk space is sufficient for regular use and has good expandability.
Smart tech & daily use
Core connected features are standard across the lineup.
Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.
Published evidence
- • Driver assistance — Standard across all trims.
- • Parking assistance — Standard across all trims.
- • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
- • Head-up display — Standard across all trims.
- • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
- The standard L2+ level assisted driving includes lane centering.
- Advanced pilot assistance requires subsequent OTA activation.
- Highway NOA provides stability, and LiDAR enhances safety; automatic parking is precise, and remote parking is practical.

Reference data
Specs explained
High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.
China list price
CN¥332,800–CN¥362,800
The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
CLTC range
320–402 km
A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
WLTC range
255–318 km
A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Battery capacity
52–66 kWh
Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Maximum power
380–390 kW
Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Maximum torque
670 N·m
Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. The published value is the same across all current trims.
0–100 km/h
4.9 sec
A lower published 0–100 km/h time indicates quicker straight-line acceleration. The published value is the same across all current trims.
Drivetrain
Dual-motor all-wheel drive
Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. The published value is the same across all current trims.
Seats
6
Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.
Length
5,279 mm
Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.
Width
2,000 mm
Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.
Wheelbase
3,160 mm
Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.
Body style
SUV
Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
