China NEV Daily Roundup: HIMA's Stelato G9, Luxeed RX & AITO M6 EREV; BYD Tang, Genesis GV90, Tucson (Aug 20)

Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance stole the show on Aug 20 with a three-model blitz — the Stelato G9 hardcore SUV, the Luxeed RX coupe SUV, and two new range-extender AITO M6 trims — as BYD pulled the wraps off the third-generation Tang's interior, Genesis revealed its first full-size electric flagship (the GV90), and Hyundai showed the fifth-generation Tucson. With the Chengdu Auto Show opening tomorrow, China's new-energy momentum shows no sign of slowing, and overseas brands from Genesis to Volkswagen are crowding the stage.

AITO M6 Adds Two Range-Extender Trims as HIMA Passes 1.5 Million Deliveries

At the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA) launch event on Aug 20, Huawei's Richard Yu (余承东) revealed two new range-extender (EREV) versions of the AITO M6: the Max AWD at RMB 239,800 (approximately $33,800 USD) and the Max+ long-range at RMB 259,800 (approximately $36,600 USD). The M6 — a "new-wave smart SUV" just four months after its April 22 launch — has already delivered over 45,000 units and swept four all-G+ ratings in the 2026 China Intelligent Vehicle Index. The Max AWD pairs a 37 kWh pack with 235 km CLTC electric range and 1,445 km combined range, dual-motor AWD and an in-cabin co-aperture LiDAR (115 m detection on small obstacles); the Max+ long-range carries a 53.4 kWh pack for 355 km electric and 1,605 km combined range, with air suspension on top of continuous damping. Both add an "Ice Crystal Pink" paint and "Truffle Brown" interior. Yu also confirmed HIMA's cumulative deliveries surpassed 1.5 million as of Aug 20.
