Untitled Review
Overview
The S9 is the cornerstone of the HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance). For 2026, the S9 has been refreshed with the "Star of the Universe" logo and upgraded sensing hardware. It is a massive, low-slung sedan with a 3,050 mm wheelbase, specifically designed to offer rear-seat passengers a private cinema experience.
Engine and Performance
BEV (Pure Electric):
Max RWD: Produces 309 hp and 396 Nm of torque.
Ultra AWD: Dual-motor setup delivering 524 hp, turning this luxury barge into a supercar rival.
EREV (Extended Range): New for 2026, featuring a 1.5L turbo generator. Like other EREVs, the engine only charges the battery, while the electric motors drive the wheels.
Acceleration: The AWD Ultra hits 0–100 km/h in a staggering 3.9 seconds, while the RWD models manage it in about 5.9 seconds.
Chassis: Standard with air suspension and CDC (Continuous Damping Control), allowing the car to glide over the road while staying perfectly level during high-speed highway cruising.
Real-World Range & Charging
Battery: Features a massive 100 kWh CATL "Whale" battery for the electric versions.
Range (CLTC):
BEV RWD: Up to 816 km.
BEV AWD: Up to 721 km.
EREV Combined: Up to 1,300+ km.
800V Architecture: The S9 supports ultra-fast charging. At a compatible station, it can add 200 km of range in just 5 minutes.
Cabin Comfort and Practicality
Rear Cinema: Includes a 32-inch retracting ceiling-mounted projector screen, turning the back seat into a literal movie theater.
Zero-Gravity Throne: The rear right seat features a true zero-gravity recline. When activated, the front passenger seat folds forward to act as a footrest.
Materials: The cabin is wrapped in Nappa leather and natural wood trim, featuring a "Starry Sky" panoramic roof.
Storage: Offers a 378-liter rear trunk and a small 38-liter frunk for charging cables.
Infotainment and Tech
Huawei ADS 4.0: The 2026 refresh introduces Huawei's latest autonomous suite with 36 high-sensitivity sensors, including a 192-line LiDAR. It supports "door-to-door" autonomous driving and advanced valet parking.
HarmonyOS 4: Features a 15.6-inch central display and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, with seamless integration for Huawei devices and an optional 13.2-inch tablet for rear passengers.
xPixel Headlights: Intelligent projection headlights that can project navigation symbols or "welcome carpets" onto the road.
Dealer and Pricing in the UAE
Availability: Currently, the Stelato S9 is primarily available in the UAE through premium parallel-import showrooms (common in Ras Al Khor and Al Aweer).
Pricing: In the UAE, prices typically range from AED 245,000 to AED 295,000 depending on the configuration (EV vs. EREV) and luxury packages.
Warranty: Parallel imports often come with a 4-year/100,000 km third-party warranty, but it is essential to confirm battery-specific coverage with the dealer.
Best Suited For
- Executives who want the absolute pinnacle of rear-seat luxury and entertainment.
- Tech lovers who want the most advanced autonomous driving system (Huawei ADS) currently on the market.
- Drivers looking for a Mercedes S-Class level of presence at a significantly lower price point.
Not Suited For
- hose who prefer a compact car (at 5.1 meters, it is very long and wide).
- People who are wary of "software-heavy" cars with few physical controls.
