On June 29th, Linghui Auto unveiled its third strategic model, the Linghui M9. Positioned as a business flagship MPV, the new vehicle champions the concept of "effortless elegance and spacious comfort," addressing common industry pain points of traditional MPVs such as high fuel consumption, cramped space, and insufficient comfort. It aims to establish a new energy mobility alternative characterized by low energy consumption, generous space, and high comfort.
The Linghui M9 precisely identifies the diverse vehicle needs of government agencies, corporate entities, business receptions, group travel, and multi-member families. The new car blends Chinese aesthetics with modern technology to create a business ambiance reminiscent of landscape artistry. Its spacious and comfortable cabin, featuring an industry-first third-row magic folding seat system, is further enhanced by the fifth-generation DM technology and efficient, long-range performance. The Linghui M9 is redefining the value benchmark for business flagship MPVs.
For this launch, the Linghui M9 is available in two trims: the 1105 Luxury Edition and the 1105 Premium Edition, with official guide prices of 188,800 yuan and 199,800 yuan respectively. The 1163 Yun Nian Flagship Edition will make a dazzling appearance soon. Launch benefits are now available, offering four major incentives for immediate orders: a Premium Finance Offer—minimum 0% down payment, loans up to 5 years; 0% interest for 3 years or 80,000 km; a Premium Warranty Offer—lifetime warranty on the three-electric system for non-commercial use (for first owner), 6-year or 150,000-km vehicle warranty; for commercial use, 6-year or 600,000-km warranty on the three-electric system, 1-year or 100,000-km vehicle warranty (whichever comes first); a Premium Connectivity Offer—all models receive 2 years of cloud service, 2 years of free in-car data (5GB/month), 2 years of free I-Call (50 minutes/month), and 1 year of free E-Call; a Premium Accessories Offer—launch accessory package valued at 4,596 yuan available for a limited-time price of 1,999 yuan (includes premium sun film, flat nylon floor mats, trunk mat, and headrests).
Chinese Landscape Luxury Aesthetics, a Mobile Business Card
The Linghui M9 deeply integrates the artistic conception of Eastern landscapes with modern business style, creating a dignified and imposing mobile business card. The new vehicle features a flat roofline and an upright tailgate design, presenting an overall stable and proper silhouette. The front fascia is equipped with a "Qingyun Zhishang" grille paired with crystal-clear, torch-like LED daytime running lights, maximizing style. The "Guangying Zhi Mou" 3D taillights echo the front lights with unique ingenuity. A "Youlong Yuedong" character line runs through the body, combined with hidden sliding door tracks and a floating roof design, achieving a unity of aesthetics and practicality. For exterior colors, the new car offers four sophisticated shades: Haoyue White, Xuanmo Black, Canglan Green, and Lingyun Purple, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences.
For the interior, the new car adopts a Moyu Black color scheme, exuding a luxurious feel. The wraparound instrument panel features extensive leather upholstery, complemented by an IML-processed passenger-side trim panel and INS-textured door panels, with details showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. All models come with an electronic column-mounted gear selector, effectively expanding the space in the central console area, balancing business luxury ambiance with everyday practicality.
Flexible Space Transformation, Featuring the First Third-Row Magic Fold
The Linghui M9 has overall dimensions of 5200×1970×1805mm and a wheelbase of 3045mm, with the passenger cabin space accounting for over 67% of the total, leading its class in space utilization. The 2+2+3 spacious cabin layout is flexible, convenient, and roomy. Even a passenger 187cm tall can sit comfortably in the third row without feeling cramped, ensuring comfort for all occupants.
Particularly impressive is that, among models in the same class and price range, the Linghui M9 is equipped with exclusive "Yuxiang" aviation-style seats, offering leading comfort. The seats support one-touch reclining and resetting, featuring 4-way power adjustment, 2-way power leg rests, and a convenient middle-row walk-through function. The seats integrate 4-way lumbar support and multi-mode massage functions, operable via physical buttons or a PAD. Additionally, seat ventilation and heating functions offer three-level adjustment, paired with adjustable headrests, seat memory, and anti-pinch safety features, delivering a premium and comfortable travel experience. Whether for business meetings, VIP receptions, family trips, or outings with friends, the Linghui M9 provides comfortable and composed seating.
The new car also boasts a super-large cargo capacity, handling scenarios like airport pickups for important clients or accompanying teams to out-of-town business meetings with ease. The industry-first third-row seats support fore-aft movement and flip-fold functionality, allowing free adjustment of passenger and cargo space based on occupancy and luggage volume. With a full load and minimal luggage, the trunk can easily accommodate five 20-inch suitcases. When carrying more luggage, moving the third-row seats forward by 100mm expands the cargo space to fit seven 20-inch suitcases. For temporarily transporting display stands or meeting materials, simply folding the seats down allows for neat placement of entire pop-up banners and document boxes. In non-full occupancy mode, flipping and folding the third row can easily accommodate a 27.5-inch adult bicycle. Thanks to the flexibly expandable trunk volume of 470L to 2036L, the vehicle can seamlessly transition from standard 7-person business receptions to fully loaded team outings.
More considerately, the vehicle features 35 meticulously designed storage spaces, each serving real business travel scenarios: a note holder and overhead sunglasses compartment on top of the dashboard allow easy access to sunglasses and highway toll tickets; dedicated storage areas in the rear seats can hold tablets or magazines, allowing access during business trips without standing up. The Linghui M9 truly achieves zoned storage and convenient access, keeping personal items organized and ensuring ample storage throughout the cabin without clutter, making every business reception more composed and dignified.
Intelligent Comfort and Constant Safety
Beyond luxurious design and spaciousness, the Linghui M9 redefines the benchmark for its class with all-around superior capabilities in intelligent cockpit, flagship comfort, and ultimate energy efficiency. For intelligent experience, the Linghui M9 features the DiLink100 intelligent cockpit system, equipped with a 15.6-inch floating touchscreen and a 12.3-inch embedded instrument cluster. The dual-screen setup operates smoothly and efficiently, enhancing the sense of business technology. Simultaneously, the cockpit supports four-zone voice interaction, enabling precise zoned control for smarter and more convenient travel.
For comfort, the new car is equipped with a three-zone independent climate control system, allowing independent and precise temperature control for the left and right front areas and the rear zone, fully meeting the comfort needs of all occupants. The Linghui M9 further enhances the experience with double-layer soundproof glass and deep optimization of overall NVH, creating a tranquil and serene mobile business lounge.
Regarding energy efficiency, a key user concern, the Linghui M9 is equipped with the fifth-generation DM hybrid technology, featuring a dedicated 1.5T plug-in hybrid efficient engine with a thermal efficiency of 45.3%. Its NEDC fuel consumption under battery-depletion mode is as low as 4.95L/100km, significantly reducing travel costs. With a full tank and full charge, the comprehensive range is 1105km, with a CLTC pure electric range of 145km. This means for daily urban client pickups, the vehicle can run entirely on electric power, achieving near-zero fuel consumption for trips between airports and hotels. For impromptu intercity weekend trips, starting with a full tank and full battery allows covering hundreds of kilometers round-trip without needing to refuel or recharge midway, truly achieving zero fuel consumption for city business receptions and zero range anxiety for long-distance travel, making every journey more efficient and composed.
The Linghui M9 was developed according to the dual safety standards of the 2024 C-NCAP 5-star and 2023 C-IASI G (Good) ratings, backed by dual authoritative certifications, providing users with double the peace of mind. For passive safety, the new car focuses on "practical comfort and comprehensive safety," aiming to provide enveloping protection for all occupants. The vehicle is equipped with 9 airbags and 6 collision sensors. All models come standard with 2 front airbags (driver and passenger), 2 front side airbags, 1 front far-side airbag, and 2 front-rear integrated extra-long side curtain airbags. The 1105 Premium Edition exclusively adds 2 middle-row side airbags, further enhancing protection for second-row occupants. Addressing the structural characteristic of MPVs where the third-row head is closer to the rear window, the Linghui M9 extends the side curtain airbags to cover the third row, effectively compensating for safety shortcomings in that area and truly providing equally comprehensive safety protection for first, second, and third-row passengers.
Regarding collision sensing, besides front and side impact sensors, the vehicle integrates pressure sensors. These sensors can detect changes in air pressure inside the doors during a collision and trigger side airbags and seatbelt pretensioner deployment within 8 milliseconds. For reference, a human blink takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds. This means the vehicle's system proactively initiates protective responses within an extremely short timeframe before occupants even perceive the collision, making every journey safer.
The Linghui M9's cabin uses carefully selected eco-friendly materials, combined with five major air purification technologies, featuring efficient PM2.5 filtration and high-temperature sterilization functions, creating a clean and healthy driving environment. The interior air is fresh and odor-free, giving parents peace of mind even when clients bring children along during business receptions. Whether for business travel or daily commuting, the Linghui M9 ensures comfort and peace of mind start with every breath.
The Linghui M9 precisely caters to the full spectrum of needs for business receptions and daily travel for multi-member families. With efficient energy consumption, class-leading comfort, and excellent safety, it achieves dignified and stylish business receptions and spacious, pleasant family trips, becoming a reliable partner for users in their career endeavors and family life. Among MPVs in its class, the Linghui M9 offers an unparalleled seating comfort experience, genuinely delivering on the concept of super-value mobility and refreshing the value benchmark for 200,000-yuan-level new energy MPVs.
With the launch of this new model, the Linghui product portfolio expands further. Guided by the four development philosophies of "fast brand launch, fast dealership network expansion, fast model updates, and fast charging replenishment," the company continues to improve its ecosystem across the product matrix, sales channels, and energy replenishment services. It aims to empower public mobility with robust new energy technology, truly bringing quality vehicles to every household.
