On October 28, UAE time, Faraday Future (FF) announced the official launch of the FX Super One, the first vehicle under the Faraday X (FX) brand, in the UAE.
The AAIHEREV Max version of the new vehicle is priced at 309,000 AED (approximately CNY 598,000).
FF stated that the FX Super One is the world’s first First Class EAI-MPV. It will be available in two powertrain options for the Middle East market: AIHER hybrid and BEV pure electric systems. Both powertrain versions will come in four variants: GOAT, Max, Pro, and Standard. Currently, only the AIHEREV Max version pricing has been disclosed, at 309,000 AED (approximately CNY 598,000), which applies only to the Middle East region. Prices for other regions and versions will be announced in the future.
The Faraday X (FX) brand was launched in September 2024, focusing on “ultimate cost performance” and creating AI EV products with “twice the performance, half the price.” The goal is to create a popular intelligent electric vehicle (AI EV) aimed primarily at the U.S. market. The FX Super One is FX’s first model. The car is expected to begin deliveries in the Middle East in November, and Spanish football legend Andrés Iniesta will be the first global owner and co-creator of the FX Super One.
Exterior Design
The exterior design of the new vehicle features a large-size front grille, which is an integrated screen capable of displaying custom patterns. On either side of the grille are headlights with lenses, and the top of the vehicle is equipped with laser radar. Notably, customers can opt for a grille without the screen, with a blackened mesh grille replacing the screen.
The vehicle dimensions are substantial, with length of 5410 mm, width of 1960 mm, height of 1890 mm, and a wheelbase of 3275 mm, providing an interior length of 3823 mm. The official statement claims that the new vehicle is the longest flagship MPV in the Middle East market. The side structure features a triple high-strength cage with 81.96% high-strength steel, and it is the world’s first MPV equipped with full-cabin side curtain airbags. Additionally, the vehicle offers dual-layer acoustic glass and privacy glass, covering electric privacy curtains for the second and third rows, as well as electric sliding doors and multi-spoke wheels, giving the vehicle a sporty look.
The rear design features continuous taillights, with two vertical taillights on either side, creating a very distinctive look.
Interior Design
Inside, the vehicle features a large, continuous screen that connects the central infotainment screen and the co-driver’s screen, with a leading 23-speaker surround sound system and independent headrest audio, addressing driving, entertainment, and office needs. The seating layout offers a 2+2+2 six-seat configuration, marketed as “everyone is a VIP.” All seats are equipped with first-class zero-gravity seats, with features such as massage, leg rests, and memory functions.
Powertrain
The FX Super One comes with an intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid system, the only MPV in the Middle East market to offer four-wheel drive as standard across all variants. It features the world’s first AIHER hybrid system, combining a 1.5T engine and dual motors, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.7 seconds. The vehicle has a WLTC range of 963 km, with a combined power output of 337 kW and a combined torque of 644 Nm.
Warranty and Purchasing
The FX Super One in the Middle East comes with a 6-year/200,000 km new car warranty, an 8-year/200,000 km warranty for the power battery and drive system, and 6-year roadside assistance. Additionally, FF has introduced a dual-payment model in the UAE, allowing customers to purchase the FX Super One using both fiat currency and cryptocurrency, becoming the first to enable a cross-industry transaction between EAI & Crypto.
Market Performance
According to previous financial reports, FF received more than 4,000 paid pre-orders for the FX Super One by the second quarter of this year. As of July 31, the total number of pre-orders exceeded 10,000 units, indicating positive market reception. At the launch event, FF stated that the FX Super One would redefine the traditional luxury SUV/MPV market, challenging models like the Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz V-Class. The vehicle’s launch will fill the gap in the Middle East market for MPVs.
Future Plans
In addition to the FX Super One, FF confirmed that the second FX model, FX 4, is actively preparing for its strategic debut, with more details expected in November.
