The Maextro S800 electric sedan from Huawei and JAC outsold the Porsche Panamera, the BMW 7 Series, and the Maybach S-Class combined in China last month. It became the most popular luxury sedan with a price above 700,000 yuan (100K USD).
The Maextro S800 began deliveries in China in August 2025 with a starting price of 708,000 yuan (101,310 USD). The top-trim S800 costs 1,018,000 yuan (145,665 USD). As a result, this high-end car competes with both domestic and overseas rivals. Last month’s sales data from Haidaxing ECC shows that the JAC-Huawei car became the luxury segment’s bestseller.
Maextro S800 outsold Porsche, BMW, and Maybach
In December 2025, Maextro S800 set a sales record of 4,376 units, up 104% month-over-month. As a result, it became the bestselling car in the luxury sedan segment with a price above 700,000 yuan. For comparison, the runner-up Porsche Panamera sold 1,593 cars in the same period.
Data provided by Haidaxing ECC indicated that the Maextro S800 outsold the Porsche Panamera, the BMW 7 Series, and the Maybach S-Class combined. These models placed second, third, and fourth, respectively. Their combined sales volume reached 4,140 units.
It is worth noting that other Chinese high-end sedans were far from first place in terms of domestic sales. The Yangwang U7 from BYD delivered 333 units in December 2025. And Nio sold 185 units of the ET9 flagship model. The Maextro S800 showed clear dominance in the high-end segment, thanks to Huawei’s wide car sales network called HIMA.
