Huawei Maextro S800 Unveiled: A Luxury Electric Sedan With 1,006 HP, Crab Walk & Autonomous Charging

Huawei is making a bold entrance into the luxury EV segment with the launch of its flagship Maextro S800, an ultra-premium electric sedan under its Maextro brand. Deliveries for the Pioneer Edition kick off June 26, and with over 5,000 pre-orders already logged, it's clear this tech-laden luxury car is turning heads.

Massive Dimensions, Monumental Presence

With its 5,480 mm length, 2,000 mm width, and a 3,370 mm wheelbase, the S800 isn't just a large car—it’s a rolling palace. Huawei's Richard Yu claims this puts it in the top 0.01% of all vehicles by size. Yet, its price starts at a relatively accessible (for its class) €124,300, rising to €186,500 for higher trims.

Eye-Catching Design & Exclusive Looks

The Maextro S800 debuts in purple-silver and all-black paint finishes, sporting bold disc-shaped wheels dubbed "flatbread" or "pie rings" by Chinese media. The futuristic lighting signature includes:

A "Milky Way" LED theme across the front, rear, and door handles

Rounded, upright grille for a luxury-meets-futurism aesthetic

Ultra-Luxury Interior for Four

Despite its size, the S800 is strictly a four-seater, offering a first-class cabin experience. Highlights include:

Starry sky roof liner
