On July 14, Harmony Intelligent Mobility officially released the first official images of its new model—the Xiangjie S9T. It is the second model under the Xiangjie brand and the first station wagon from Harmony Intelligent Mobility. According to the plan, the new car will be launched this fall.
Design Highlights
From the official images, the debut model features a “Fairyland Green” body color, paired with Galaxy headlights and newly designed Nebula taillights, giving the vehicle a very elegant and premium appearance. Specifically, the S9T continues the brand’s “Cosmic Aesthetic” design language. The front adopts a closed grille, flanked by Galaxy headlights crafted with sparkling crystal-like detailing, connected through a full-width light bar for high recognition. The hood features multiple raised contour lines to create a sporty impression, while the car debuts the new “Cosmic Star” logo, first unveiled at the Xiangjie User Night on July 8. The hexagonal outer frame design enhances brand identity.
From the side, the car’s lines are smooth and powerful, giving a stretched, elongated profile. Unlike the sedan, the roofline after the B-pillar slopes more gently, ensuring better trunk space. The car is also equipped with a roof rack, flush door handles, and multi-spoke wheels to enrich the user experience. At the rear, the S9T adopts full-width Nebula taillights with “Xiangjie S9T” lettering on the lower right for clear recognition. A large roof spoiler and liftback-style tailgate further enhance the car’s futuristic and stylish appeal.
Interior and Powertrain
As of now, official details about the interior and powertrain have not been disclosed. Spy photos suggest that the car will feature a large central display and a three-spoke oval-shaped multifunction steering wheel, underlining its tech-oriented cabin. In terms of power, the S9T is expected to be available in both pure-electric and extended-range versions, though final details await confirmation.
Market Positioning
As a station wagon, the S9T is expected to compete with the Denza Z9GT EV, Denza Z9GT DM, and NIO ET7 after launch. For reference:
Denza Z9GT EV is priced at RMB 354,800–384,800 (≈ USD 49,800–54,000)
Denza Z9GT DM is priced at RMB 334,800–414,800 (≈ USD 47,000–58,000)
NIO ET7 is priced at RMB 428,000–516,000 (≈ USD 60,100–72,500)
Background on the Xiangjie Brand
Xiangjie is a premium auto brand jointly launched by Huawei and BAIC, positioned in the high-end sedan market. The Xiangjie S9 was its first pure-electric large executive sedan, launched in August 2024, with two trims—Max (RMB 399,800 ≈ USD 56,100) and Ultra (RMB 449,800 ≈ USD 63,200). It features a uniquely designed three-spoke steering wheel, a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch floating central display, and standard air suspension across the lineup. Both single-motor and dual-motor versions are offered.
In April 2025, the extended-range Xiangjie S9 was introduced, with three trims: Max, Max+, and Ultra, priced between RMB 309,800–369,800 (≈ USD 43,500–51,900). The S9 is officially positioned to rival executive sedans such as the BMW 7 Series 750Li, Audi A8L, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Retail data shows that in the first half of this year, cumulative sales of the S9 reached 9,703 units, with 4,215 units sold in June alone.
Currently, the S9 is the only model on sale under the Xiangjie brand. The upcoming launch of the S9T is expected to further boost the brand’s sales.
Management Update
Recent reports indicate that Peng Lei, former Product Director of the AITO brand, has been transferred to Xiangjie. The Harmony Intelligent Mobility app now lists him as Product Director of the Xiangjie lineup, instead of AITO. Shortly after the official release of the S9T images, Peng Lei posted two updates about the new model on Weibo. However, as of press time, his Weibo profile still shows the title “AITO Product Director.”
