Maextro S600 Electric Sedan: 5 Key Facts You Need to Know
The Maextro S600 electric sedan is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated premium EVs in China. Built through a joint venture between Huawei and JAC, the model follows the May 2025 launch of the larger Maextro S800.
Huawei and JAC Expand the Maextro Lineup
The luxury sub-brand Maextro, created under Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), is advancing quickly. After the S800’s debut, JAC confirmed two new vehicles are in development, including a smaller sedan—likely the S600.
Platform and Size Details
While full specifications have not yet been released, local media reported the upcoming model will be more compact than the 5.5-meter-long S800. It will likely target mid-size luxury sedan buyers looking for a premium EV alternative to offerings from Nio and BYD.
Early Market Reception and Production Plans
The larger S800 received over 5,000 orders within 19 days of entering production. JAC aims for 3,000 monthly units by September and 4,000 by year-end—an infrastructure likely to benefit the S600’s production rollout.
HIMA Ecosystem and Technology Integration
Huawei’s ecosystem of connected vehicles includes other brands such as Stelato, Aito, and Luxeed. The S600 is expected to feature advanced driver assistance, in-car AI, and over-the-air updates powered by Huawei’s HarmonyOS for cars.

Position in the Chinese EV Market
The luxury EV segment priced above RMB 600,000 accounts for 400,000+ units annually in China. With a projected market share of 20%, Maextro’s total lineup—including the S600—could sell over 80,000 vehicles per year, according to CITIC Securities.
The Maextro S600 electric sedan will strengthen China’s presence in the global high-end EV market, with Huawei’s tech and JAC’s automotive legacy pushing it forward.
