by The Chinese smartphone manufacturer seems to have decided to “steal” customers from Mercedes. This is not a concept or a show car. The Maextro S800 is already on sale. And, just for a second, a thousand cars were sold on the first day. This is more than just a flashy presentation—it’s an invasion of territory that the S-Class has dominated for decades.
Huawei has done everything to make this car look like a representative of a new league. 5.48 meters in length, a wheelbase almost like a Maybach, and a design with no hint of “just another Chinese clone.” This is the face of the future. Under the hood, you have a choice: either an electric version with a range of up to 702 km or a hybrid that can go up to 1,333 km. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 4.3 seconds. But the essence isn’t just in the numbers.
The Maextro S800 can actually drive itself. And not just in words, but in practice. ADS 4.0 with 32 sensors and LiDAR allows for confident driving even on narrow city streets without driver input.
The interior is like a lounge zone in a business jet: zero-gravity seats, massage, ventilation, speakers in the headrests, and 43 audio environments from Huawei Sound. The ceiling isn’t just a roof—it’s an interactive starry sky with dynamic lighting. Inside, there’s HarmonyOS: voice control, gestures, driver adaptation—everything like in a smartphone, but on four wheels.
And all of this for $98,000. That’s cheaper than the S-Class, but with the feeling that you’re already behind the wheel of the future.
The S-Class now has a problem. And its name is the Maextro S800.
