Zunjie S800: Huawei-JAC Large Sedan with Dual Powertrain Options

The Zunjie S800 is positioned as a large sedan and is the first model from the Zunjie brand (MAEXTRO), a collaboration between Huawei and JAC Motors. It is built on the Tulink II Dragon platform and offers both pure electric and range-extended powertrain options.

It is important to note that the official presentation only showcased the exterior design of the Zunjie S800, with the interior yet to be revealed. According to previous reports, HarmonyOS Intelligent Mobility will hold a technical communication event for the Zunjie S800 in February, where the interior and additional intelligent technologies will be unveiled.

Looking at the details, the front of the Zunjie S800 features a closed design, which is consistent with the current design trends for new energy vehicles. Additionally, the pure electric and range-extended models adopt different grille designs, with the electric version featuring a diamond mesh pattern and the range-extended version incorporating a full-width trim design.

The Zunjie S800’s headlights are equipped with three vertical LED light sources, and each headlamp features an LED light strip on the top and bottom, complementing the illuminated car logo for a highly recognizable look. Notably, the Zunjie S800 is fitted with a tower-style lidar on the roof, and cameras are placed at various locations, including the roof, rear wing, front fenders, rear, and side mirrors, which suggests it will support higher-level driving assistance systems, though specific technical details will be disclosed by the manufacturer later.

From the side view, the Zunjie S800 has a sleek and elongated shape, with a coupe-like design. The side profile remains the same for both the pure electric and range-extended models, with the MAEXTRO (Zunjie) brand logo featured on the C-pillar. The vehicle shown is equipped with 21-inch polished "big flat" wheels, with tire specifications of 265/40 R21 at both the front and rear. Additionally, various multi-spoke wheel designs are available.

At the rear, both the pure electric and range-extended versions of the Zunjie S800 feature a full-width tail light design, with reflective strips on both sides of the rear bumper. The left side of the tailgate displays the "JAC" logo, while the right side shows the "Zunjie S800" logo.

Previously, the Zunjie S800's application images were revealed, showing its dimensions as 5480mm in length, 2000mm in width, and 1536mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3370mm, positioning it as a large sedan. The Zunjie S800 offers electronic side mirrors, a two-tone body color option, and various styles of wheels.

Regarding color options, the Zunjie S800 offers body colors such as gold/brown, purple/silver, black/gold, and black (monotone).

Currently, the interior of the Zunjie S800 has not been officially unveiled. Based on previously leaked spy photos, the central touchscreen and the passenger-side entertainment screen adopt a dual-screen design, with a gear shift lever in the style of a rotary dial. The lower area of the dashboard features a wireless phone charging panel, and there is a crystal material control knob. Furthermore, the vehicle's seat control knobs are located on the door panels and are expected to support functions such as ventilation, heating, and massage.

The rear of the Zunjie S800 will feature two independent seats and a starry sky roof design, with the central armrest likely to combine a storage compartment, a car fridge, and controls for the seats and entertainment system.

In January of this year, the Zunjie S800 demonstrated an autonomous ultra-fast charging process with the HarmonyOS Intelligent Mobility-integrated perception charging robot. Upon arriving at the destination, the user can exit the vehicle, and the car will autonomously park and begin charging. During the charging process, the vehicle will monitor surrounding obstacles in real-time, and the front headlights will project information such as remaining battery level and estimated charging time.

As for the powertrain, the Zunjie S800 will offer both pure electric and range-extended systems, with options for dual-motor and tri-motor configurations. The range-extended version is powered by a 1.5T range extender from Harbin Dong'an Automotive Power Co., Ltd., delivering a maximum power output of 115 kW. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version features a front motor with a maximum power of 160 kW and a rear motor with 230 kW. The tri-motor all-wheel-drive version has a front motor producing 160 kW and two rear motors, each with 237.5 kW.

In terms of range, the range-extended version of the Zunjie S800 is equipped with a 63.262 kWh ternary lithium battery from CATL, offering pure electric range options of 272 km or 331 km (with testing conditions unknown).

The pure electric dual-motor all-wheel-drive version has a front motor with a maximum power of 160 kW and a rear motor with 230 kW. The tri-motor all-wheel-drive version features a front motor with 160 kW and two rear motors, each with 237.5 kW. The pure electric version of the Zunjie S800 will be equipped with a 94.364 kWh CATL ternary lithium battery, with a CLTC range of 622 km or 702 km, depending on the version.
