The Shangjie H5, Huawei's latest electric vehicle (EV) offering, is set to launch in September 2025. This mid-size SUV, jointly developed by Huawei and SAIC, marks the entry of the Shangjie brand into the automotive market, positioned as Huawei's entry-level EV brand under the HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) umbrella.
### Shangjie H5 Specifications and Features
The Shangjie H5 will be available in both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) variants. The EREV version features a 1.5L (1,498 ml) naturally aspirated inline-4 gasoline engine as a range extender, delivering around 150 kW of motor peak power. The BEV version offers up to 655 km CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) range, while the EREV variant provides an overall range exceeding 1,300 km, combining electricity and gasoline engine range.
The Shangjie H5 measures 4,780 mm in length, 1,910 mm in width, 1,657 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,840 mm, with five seats. It uses LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries supplied by CATL. The vehicle is equipped with Huawei’s ADS 4 advanced driver assistance system, featuring multiple sensors including lidar over the front windshield for driving, parking, and safety applications.
### Pricing and Position Compared to Other HIMA Brands
Shangjie is positioned as the entry-level brand in Huawei's HIMA alliance, aimed at more budget-conscious younger consumers. Other HIMA brands like Aito and Stelato are positioned in the premium or even higher segments, offering more luxurious or technologically advanced vehicles. While specific pricing for Shangjie H5 is not disclosed, its emphasis on LFP batteries and more modest powertrain specs relative to higher-tier brands suggests a more affordable pricing strategy.
### Comparison with Huawei’s Stelato S9T and Aito M8
The Stelato S9T, a station wagon, is planned for a fall 2025 launch. It focuses on space and versatility rather than just powertrain details, making it a larger, premium vehicle suitable for multiple scenarios like camping and off-road driving. The Aito M8, while detailed specs are not provided, is one of the more premium HIMA brands, offering more advanced technology and features than the Shangjie H5.
In summary, the Shangjie H5 will launch in September 2025 as Huawei’s and SAIC’s entry-level electric SUV with both pure electric and extended-range variants, targeting value-conscious younger buyers. It features solid specs with a 655 km electric range and advanced driver assistance, priced below Huawei’s existing premium HIMA brands. The EREV variant of Shangjie H5 has a range of 1,300 km, making it an attractive option for those seeking a balance between electric and conventional power.
