Maextro, the luxury label created by a collaboration between Chinese automaker JAC and technology giant Huawei, shows the S800 with a factory index that marks its flagship status. The car is framed as a serious challenger in the ultra‑luxury segment, targeting the same exclusive arena as Maybach and Rolls‑Royce, according to Car NewsChina. The combination of traditional automotive engineering and advanced digital capabilities signals a broader push by Chinese players into premium mobility. — Car NewsChina
Early industry chatter suggests the S800 will measure about 5.48 meters in length, staying under the 5.5 meter threshold. That places it in the D+ size class for large luxury sedans and makes it directly comparable in footprint to extended versions of the Maybach S‑Class and the Rolls‑Royce Ghost. Yet the defining difference is propulsion: the S800 is fully electric, aligning with the global move toward high‑end electric mobility. The design and interior ambitions are expected to emphasize quiet, refined comfort and advanced technology, all aimed at a seamless, luxurious experience. — Car NewsChina
Insiders note the S800 will wear four corporate emblems simultaneously: front and rear badges plus two side logos, underscoring a bold branding approach. Sales are planned for spring 2025, with production set to take place at a newly constructed JAC facility. The manufacturer is projected to produce about 35,000 of these sedans annually, signaling a substantial regional and potentially global push for premium electric transport. — Car NewsChina
Earlier reports indicated that car dealerships of Chinese brands have been closing in Russia, reflecting shifting market dynamics. If the S800 reaches North American markets, its arrival could intensify competition in the premium electric sedan space for Canadian and United States buyers, a segment showing growing appetite for luxury electrics. — Car NewsChina
