Overview

Rear view

On November 20, 2025, Huawei announced two new car brands under its Qiankun ecosystem in partnership with the GAC Group and the Dongfeng Motor Corporation, being Qijing, which later became Aistaland, and Yijing, which later became Epicland. The announcement was made just before the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show.[2]

The first prototype rolled off the assembly line on December 22, 2025.[3]

The first spyshots of the X9 appeared on January 18, 2026.[4] Winter testing took place in Mohe City and Hulunbuir and concluded on January 23, 2026. The first official images were also shown around the same time.[5]

The official name was revealed to be the X9 on April 20, 2026. It is reported that the English name of Yijing would be Epicland as the trademark for the name was previously applied with the China National Intellectual Property Administration.[6] It made its debut at the Huawei Automotive Technology Conference on April 23, 2026.[7] It was publicly unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show on April 26, 2026.[8]

Pre-sales opened on August 18, 2026, with a starting price of ¥299,800 ($41,100).[9]

Design

The X9 uses a split headlight setup, with a daytime running light strip placed above the headlights. It uses a flat roof line with a high belt line, stretched rear doors, and slanted D-pillars.[5] The design of the taillights are expected to mirror that of the headlights.[4]

Features

The X9 will adopt Huawei's Qiankun ADS 4.1 advanced driver-assistance system and HarmonyOS for its infotainment system.[4] It will also use Huawei's 896-line LiDAR sensor. Compared to previous cars that utilized Huawei's technology, the X9 will have Huawei's technology fully integrated.[10]

It is also the first vehicle co-developed with Huawei to offer the brand's latest full-stack technology.[11]

The interior uses dual 17-inch 3.4K central touchscreens that can operate independently and also come with an eye protection mode. The light bar at the rear measures 72.05 inches (1,830.1 mm) and has 1,172 individual light beads.[8]

Powertrain and chassis

Teasrers of the X9 showed two fuel caps on each rear fender, which confirmed it would be offered as a range-extended EV.[4] It was previously reported that a battery electric version will be offered.[12]

The X9 is exclusively offered as a range-extended EV. It uses a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 gasoline engine codenamed DFMC15TPE producing 127 horsepower (95 kW; 129 PS) as a generator. All-wheel-drive models produce 563 horsepower (420 kW; 571 PS), with no power figure available for the rear-wheel-drive model.[13] The X9 comes with two battery options: a 51.46 kWh battery and a 74.3 kWh battery, with the 74.29 kWh battery being a lithium iron phosphate battery courtesy of CATL.[14][9] The 51.46 kWh battery gets a range of 217 kilometres (135 mi) in all-wheel-drive models, with the rear-wheel-drive version getting 229 kilometres (142 mi) when equipped with the same battery.[15] Models equipped with the 74.29 kWh battery get a range of up to 465 kilometres (289 mi).[9]

Sales

The X9 received 21,000 pre-orders in 24 hours after pre-sales opened on August 19, 2026.[16]
