Chinese automakers unveil high‑range hybrid SUV and electric coupe SUV

A Chinese car maker revealed the IM LS9, a hybrid sport‑utility vehicle that combines a 66 kWh battery with a highly efficient combustion engine to deliver up to 1,508 km (938 mi) of range on a full tank and 800 hp. The SUV can accelerate from 0‑100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, seats six, and offers a built‑in shower that heats 10 L of water to 45 °C in about ten minutes. The model is slated for a domestic launch in the first quarter of 2026 with a price target of roughly 245,000‑265,000 reais, positioning it as a competitively priced flagship for long‑distance comfort.

Voyah presented the first official images of its new Passion S, an electric SUV‑coupe intended for the Chinese market. The fully electric model will compete with the Tesla Model Y and Xiaomi YU7 and features a sleek, sloping roofline, LED lighting, black‑gloss accents, and wheel designs with yellow brake calipers. Notable technology includes a Huawei 896‑line lidar sensor and a panoramic sunroof. The teaser highlights a detailed front fascia, integrated cameras, and rear‑end aerodynamics designed to convey a sporty character.
