## Huawei's Automotive Audio Ambitions

The Zhijie V9, Huawei's latest smart car collaboration, has been revealed with an extraordinary audio system — the same HUAWEI SOUND Ultimate setup found in the ultra-luxury Maextro S800.

### Audio Specifications

- **Configuration**: 9.3.8 independent channels
- **Speakers**: 35 total, including 8 headrest speakers
- **Power**: 2,920W amplifier output
- **Sky Sound Array**: 8 overhead channels for 720° surround sound
- **Independent Zones**: "4 seats, 2 speakers" per zone with sound isolation tunnels

### Pre-Sales Performance

Priced from ¥399,800 (~$55,300), the Zhijie V9 has received over 22,500 pre-orders in just 72 hours. The official launch is scheduled for May 15.

### Market Context

This model represents Huawei's growing influence in the automotive sector, bringing premium audio technology from its luxury sedan to a family-friendly MPV format — directly competing with traditional luxury MPVs from Lexus and Mercedes.

Huawei's smart car partner Zhijie unveils the V9 flagship MPV with a 35-speaker, 9.3.8-channel audio system, independent sound zones for each seat, and 72-hour pre-orders exceeding 22,500 units.
