After years of involvement in the zero-emission mobility sector without ever really launching, Huawei makes a bold move. The Chinese electronics giant has decided to produce its own electric sedans, ranging from the anti-Tesla Model 3 to a flagship model. Get ready for a revolution on four wheels!
A First Range Exclusively Dedicated to Sedans
Huawei seems to have chosen its playground: sedans. Yes, you read that right, SUVs and other crossovers are out for now. The first car the manufacturer will launch on the market will be a sort of anti-Tesla Model 3. Imagine sleek, aerodynamic lines reminiscent of models from other Chinese manufacturers like the Xiaomi SU7 or the Exceed S7 from the Chery group. With its modern design, Huawei aims to attract a clientele eager for novelty.

An Intermediate Model and a Flagship Sedan
That’s not all! This first sedan will be joined by a larger version, in segment E. The latter will feature a similar style, with a LED strip across the front and dark-finished side air intakes. The rear will display a horizontal light signature, creating an aesthetic continuity that is sure to attract attention.
And to top it all off, Huawei is preparing to unveil its flagship model, with more personal and imposing shapes. With a length of around 5 meters, this flagship promises an undeniable presence on the road. Imagine it dominating the asphalt like a majestic ocean liner sailing on the sea.
The flagship model has more angular shapes and a length of about 5 meters.
Successful Collaborations Towards Increased Range
It is essential to remember that before launching into the production of its own models, Huawei was a key player in the development of electric cars for several Chinese manufacturers. GAC with its Qijing brand, Dongfeng with Yijing, and the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture with Baojun have all benefited from Huawei’s technological expertise. This approach is reminiscent of a conductor who, while directing his group, prepares to take the stage with his own solo.
But Huawei doesn’t stop there! Its partnership with Toyota, focused on artificial intelligence, allows for the optimization of new model designs, thus reducing development time and costs. An alliance that could redefine the standards of the automotive industry.
A Bold Strategy in the Face of Fierce Competition
By entering the world of electric sedans, Huawei is stepping into an already highly competitive segment. Established brands like Tesla, Volkswagen, and even newcomers like Rivian or Lucid Motors are not going to back down. But Huawei has an ace up its sleeve: its expertise in technology and connectivity. By integrating advanced features, such as high-end infotainment systems and integrated connectivity solutions, it could well attract a demanding clientele.
Conclusion: A Promising but Uncertain Future
As the electric car market continues to grow at a breakneck pace, Huawei’s entry into this sector could be the springboard the company needs to establish itself as a key player. However, the challenge will be significant: it’s not enough to put a logo on a hood to win the hearts of consumers. It remains to be seen whether these sedans can combine performance, design, and innovation to offer a credible alternative to existing models.
