Huawei M8
Explore our expert reviews of the latest and most reliable vehicles.
Guys, good afternoon. In front of you is the Huawei M8, which has collected 80,000 confirmed pre-orders. This is the same as Lixyan L9 sold in all of 2024. Let's figure out why there is such a high demand for it. So, they are asking $3,000 more than the 9 Ultra. For this they give a 52 kW battery. For this they give a little more horses than the street. ICE 1.5 turbo at 150, all-wheel drive, acceleration of five and something there. Double air, double wishbone in front, multi-link in the back. It feels like it is, it seems to me, literally a little quieter than the li. We will now measure in the same place where I measured the li.
Interesting. We have a problem, a problem. Our battery is dead and that's it. So, that's it. But it feels like it is a little, than the li, you know what I like? I like that the seat can be pulled up a little more than the Li, but still not enough. But it can be pulled up a little more. Okay, that's a plus. There's a little more lateral support here than the Li 9. And I would even say, that's how I like it. The golden mean. Not hard and just the way it should be. Just the way it should be. That is, in terms of seats, it wins over the Ul. It's very important to me how much the car slows down with recuperation. I've become lazy. I want to brake immediately after releasing the gas. I don't want to move my foot to the brake
once again. Yes, my heel on the brake, of course, yes, just in case, but pressing it once again, well, I'm just too lazy. Already in 2025, I'm just too lazy. And here the recuperation is twice as strong as in the Lixyan. Look what's happening. I turned on the reverse, and it immediately gives me a picture on the projector. For some reason, on the camera it's some kind of incomprehensible color. In reality, it is clear and natural in color. The street camera is a little better than here, as far as the eye can see. Look at the handle here. I just stick my fingers in, there is a sensor, it immediately opens, and I just pull it towards me. Naturally, you can just open it automatically. If everything else doesn't work, it is physical too. Here it is. They thought of everything from all sides. There is a 265 by 45 twenty-first auto leg in front. As you can see, the disks are ventilated, perforated. And the back is interesting. Oh, it is larger in the back. The wheels are 285 by 45 twenty-first. And the disks are simply ventilated and that's it.
It is possible to lengthen the seat cushion. And, as you can see, it is very long here. The steering wheel is adjusted on the tablet. For some reason it gets in my way. And why does it get in my way? Or did it not get in my way. It was just at the right distance when you sometimes tilt your head, but here it is pressing on me. Why would I remove it at all? Or it should be smaller. Four fingers in front of the knee. Excellent. First, second row: massage, ventilation, heating. Third row only heating. Here, where I drive my finger, here everything inside is also covered with soft leatherette. The screens, as you can see, are the same as in the M9. The same philosophy. Everything, in principle, is almost identical. They left the thick frames, but with a black theme. At first, I did not like these screens, but when I saw them with a black theme, somehow even not bad. This car will compete with Linco 9.0, Li 9 and Denza N9.
It is in the same price segment with them. In my opinion, this car will sell better than its competitors. And during today's test I will try to explain why I think so. There are three excellent screens in terms of picture quality, speed, performance and overall shell. Is this the level of Tesla and some other cars that have really stepped forward in this direction. Linko 9 is not bad, but it lacks the richness of colors, like here and in Lee. Denza also lacks it. That is, the screens here, the level of Li is higher than that of other competitors. Let's not waste time on them, you already know everything perfectly well. This is the Huawei system. Everything flies here. By the way, here is exactly the same system. I recently reviewed Shenlan DePAL S09. There is the same Harony S, but there it works a little slower, and here, well, it just flies at the speed of light. Just at the speed of light, because there is a different chip. If I understand correctly, because I am not strong in electronics, I think it is the processor, the chip. Here it is just more expensive. And that's all. I have already shown you the projector. mega-tricked. There is a map, how to open VLI, and the cameras also broadcast there. In general, everything is very cool. The top of the door cards and the dashboard are microfiber. Cool material, pleasant to the touch, slightly reminiscent of Alcantara, such a rather smooth Alcantara. And I saw the same material, where I saw somewhere recently vi, ah, S09 Depal, I think, there is the same material. There are two wireless chargers and both with a blower. covered with the same material, microfiber.
This piece that looks like wood. In fact, it is plastic. And, wood is only in M9 and in Stilata. Here is plastic, but it looks quite natural. There is some kind of niche here, two cup holders. Where is the refrigerator? No, there is no refrigerator here. Here, like a street, by the way, a small box. There is a leather steering wheel with leatherette inside. It is glossy plastic. The wheels are alive. These buttons are touch-sensitive, of course, everything is fine. The column could be made of smoother plastic, but not too rough. Lesianas's is quite nice. So. And I wanted to show you this. I use the touch-sensitive button here to navigate the menu. The same thing here. They've squeezed it a bit here. A regular rag. If you can see, I have a cool case here. Made of Alcantara, by the way, for glasses. The camera, the display transmits the camera to the bulb magnets. This, as I understand it, is a touch-sensitive bulb. And there is a camera here. Look, in order for it to come out, I go to the menu, press here, and now it comes out. They've covered it. You can't set it to a password. You can in the M9. And here we have an atamanka, and it's wide. And this is how much they'll raise it for me. There is no zero gravity here. Well, cool, right? My legs don't hang. They don't hang. They are clearly on it. Here, for my height, it's good. Sometimes they smear. In my opinion, I didn't like it in Avatar. In my opinion, in Avatar, if I'm not mistaken. Here, it's really good. And it's wide. Cool. But there is no zero gravity, unfortunately. I don't know, will the camera convey that? No. The screen is awesome. Double glass. The black part is microfiber. Here is NAPA basket, and below is regular basket, but this one is more rigid, probably so that it lasts longer, so that you don't kill it quickly with your feet. 19 Huawei Sound speakers. There is bare plastic inside. And here is a piece. This is wood-like plastic.
The boss in this car sits in the back, and he has zero gravity. Who is the boss in a family car? Either the wife or the husband's mother. Well, for me, my mother-in-law would be the boss. Okay, maybe someone's mother-in-law is the boss. Let it be so. So what does she get here? She can press this button here. The atamanka just folds up there, that's why it's taking so long. Okay, okay. Got it. What do I do now? I take off my sneakers. Look further. I need to close the door. The button is there, but I don't want to reach. I want it to be somewhere within arm's reach. But they didn't give me a button here. I can't see it. I can reach, but I don't want to. That's not good. I'll have to call. Can I do this? They gave me a net. Okay. But it's needed here because there's a projector. It's really needed here. They gave me a hook. I'll open it to let in more light. Look, I press the button here, and my armrest comes out. It does have that, right? Ventilation, heating, massage, and these two positions at once. Here I press the maximum. Why are you foldin' it? And I went inside. See, I went inside, and now it won't lift it. As far as I can see, there is no button to fold the seat next to me anywhere. And I don’t want to reach there. So, let’s call that one she asked me, is it safe to do this? Am I sure it’s safe? Table one, table two. By the way, the material is not plastic. Not plastic. The same as here. Cool. Cool. There is no zero gravity here. And no foliage. So there are just three buttons: massage, ventilation, heating, charging.
And there is a button that adjusts the armrest. Look, there is bare plastic here, and there is a cool basket here. There is a small screen here. You can open the refrigerator, once and you can open the projector, the canvas. Now we close the curtain. I have already closed the sides. And, in theory, it should be really good. Or not, or they saved money, because the projector can also be different. I don’t think it is the same as in the new restyled M9. I can already see, it is not like that. Yes, it is not like that. The B9 is a restyled version, which I showed you recently, but it's just like a screen, just like a screen. It's dark enough here, as you can see, but it's not as clear. We measure the third row. I sit as I like, four fingers, and go to the second row. Look, I take my fist here and go to the third. And here I fit four fingers in front of my knee. There's no plastic here at all. There's fabric on top, but here everything is cool, plush. Someone's napkins, of course. There's heating, there's a charger, a light bulb, there's air, there's a speaker. And I can lower the back. The Denza N9 had a more fashionable third row. The LH 9.0 even had seats that swiveled around. The materials here are a little more expensive. You see, Li, I think, had plastic here. Li was here. Yes, exactly, Li 9. Plastic here. Well, I would have gone a long way.
There's enough room for me here. Well, look, yes, three people my height can easily sit down one after another. And now I have leaned back enough so that it is comfortable for me to drive a long way. And let's see how much space there is in the trunk. And there is not much space. You can throw in two small suitcases, something very tightly by the trunk. Oh, and this is nice, you must admit. So, here I can lower the suspension and I can fold the seat. The rear lights. See, the picture. There are different pictures there. You can have all sorts of cats. This city, I think, is Shizhen or Shanghai. There are different cities there. In general, I think you can paint over an ordinary headlight. This is a family car. Children also drive, and they like all these gizmos, so the manufacturer makes them. This sells. The backs of the first row and the second row are completely made of leather. The bottom is also made of leather. As far as I understand, there is almost no plastic here. The thresholds are plastic, some things, the rims of something are also plastic. And so, well, at the very bottom of the seats, here. And so there is none. Everything is completely covered. in the third row, and yes, everywhere is leather. Cool. So, what do we have? In terms of powertrain, the HZ and LHO are much more interesting. They have a more powerful internal combustion engine, more common horses, faster acceleration. But the overwhelming majority of drivers drive in cities all the time and are on the highway five times a year. Therefore, the city goodies that the M8 has will most likely sell better than cars with a more powerful powertrain, but without these goodies, because we are reviewing a family car, not a ska. What goodies are we talking about? First, it has the best autopilot. Second, in addition to the huge cinema in the back of the front seats, you can also insert additional tablets. If you want, watch on the tablets. Sometimes you want, turn on the cinema. The smartphone screen can be connected to the central screen. Fourth, the projector here is AR, it is more advanced. Fifth: the voice assistant is more accurate. Sixth: the battery is 53 kW and the range on one charge is as much as 310 km according to CLTC.
This is more than all competitors, because the electric motors are cooler and the software is cooler. Do not even doubt that in cost it costs no less than plus 100 horses to the internal combustion engine and plus 300 horses of the collector. In addition, the car weighs less, which means the battery goes further, and the consumption is at least 2 liters less. In general, I believe that for everyday driving in cities, a more advanced intelligent cabin and autopilot will sell better. But for those who live in the harsh regions of our planet and want to accelerate faster than the dominant majority of German cars in the stream, Denza and Linko will be preferable. What would I leave out? Perhaps the lack of rear-wheel steering for the city in 2025 is a must. It is not here. Denz and Linko are there. Okay, we figured out the filling. And now how does it drive? Exactly the same as the 9. These are similar cars in terms of suspension settings. Very soft, even in sport mode. The suspension works quieter than in the Liro, it steers well, but worse than the Den, and better than the LH. At speeds after 130, it will most likely steer worse than German cars. It accelerates to 5.2100, like a 9. It is more than enough for the city. It will be too little on the highway, like for 2025. But the steering wheel, the steering wheel is empty again. Lisyan doesn't have this problem. In sport mode, the steering wheel li gives you a good connection with the wheels, but here it is too soft, it is impossible to press it normally. They saved on this here.
By the way, the Denza N9 has the same problem. Then you can order just a two-row version with a sofa. For some, it will be more interesting. In general, their new restyling ATM9 has become even cooler. And it flew into a completely different price segment. Full full there is now 27,000 dollars more expensive than here. And if 9, Den and Linko, the price difference is even greater, about 30,000. But they just released 8 to fight in this segment. Okay, friends, that's all. Thanks to everyone who watched to the end. If you liked it, you know what to do. I say goodbye to you. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
