Design and features
In the exterior there are light bars on both the front and rear as well as chrome plated fake exhaust tips. In the interior a 30-inch integrated display is present, alongside two 50W phone chargers, a 9.1 liter refrigerator, and ambient lighting.[4] The M9 uses the G-Pilot H5 ADAS system that uses a roof-mounted lidar module. Geely also claims the M9 features the world's first "in-vehicle intelligent AI agent".[5]
Geely's design studios in Milan and Shanghai were responsible for the design of the M9.[4]
The M9 is available with 20-inch rims and 255/50 tires or 21-inch rims and 265/45 tires.[6]
Powertrain
The M9 is powered by the NordThor AI Hybrid 2.0 EM-P hybrid system. The engine is a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 codenamed BHE15-CFZ making an estimated 161 horsepower. The batteries are LFP batteries and are supplied by CATL and the electric range goes from 85 to 185 kilometers depending on the size of the battery.[6] At prelunch the range figure for models with the 18.4 kWh battery was raised to 100 kilometres (62 mi) and the range figure for models with the 41.5 kWh battery was raised to 210 kilometres (130 mi).[7]
When pre-sales started, it was confirmed that front-wheel-drive models will be offered, with only the top trim being offered with all-wheel-drive. Early reports suggested that the AWD version of the M9 would use 2 electric motors and a peak power output of 697 horsepower, but at the start of pre-sales it was confirmed to use 3 electric motors and have a power output of 870 horsepower.[7]
The M9 gets a maximum combined range of 935 miles (1,505 km).[8]
