Update (2025)
The M9 received a minor update for the 2025 model year, with sales starting on March 20, 2025 after a pre-order period opened two weeks before. The exterior remains unchanged outside of a new red and beige two-tone color option, a new 21-inch wheel option, power-retracting running boards, and exterior gesture-controlled doors. Changes to the interior include a power thigh support adjustment for the driver's seat, an upgraded rear seat projector with twice the resolution and 63% higher brightness, variable tinting side windows, and a refrigerator compartment with heating and cooling functions for temperatures between 0-50 C.[10][11][12]
The ADAS system was upgraded to the Huawei ADS 3.3 system, which adds three short-range LiDAR sensors to the front fenders and rear in addition to the existing long-range front-facing roof-mounted sensor for a total of four LiDARs, and two additional mmWave radars for a total of five such sensors. Compared to the previous system, it is capable of navigating unmanned between levels in multi-story parking structures, is able to navigate roundabouts and gates, and is able to handle more complex road conditions.[10] It is also equipped with two additional external microphones to better detect and yield to emergency vehicles.[11] It is expected to be updated to the Huawei ADS 4 system in late 2025.[13] It also features Huawei's Xinghe satellite communication system for increased network connection reliability when terrestrial network signals are unavailable, which can be shared with devices within a 30 m range of the vehicle.[14]
The range extender powertrain received a refresh, with the 1.5-litre engine updated to produce 118 kW. The smaller battery pack option was discontinued, and electric CLTC range ratings with the remaining 52kWh pack increases to 266-290. km, and combined range increases to 1474 km. Power output remains the same, and the battery electric powertrain continues unchanged.[10][13]
On September 23, 2025, the four-seater version was revealed. This is a special configuration package for the M9 Ultra five-seat version, which comes with three optional features: Luxury Zero Gravity Seat Package, Intelligent Privacy Windows, and Electric Steps (total discount of RMB 10,000 for the whole vehicle), and adds a Silver Purple exterior color.[15]
In March 2026, a version of the M9 equipped with an 896-line dual-optical-path image-level LiDAR will be released.[16]
