Hycan V09

V09 rear

In November 2021, during the Guangzhou Auto Show, Hycan presented two prototypes announcing the expansion of the model range with the first non-crossover cars. One of them was a large, luxurious electric minivan in the form of the Hycan Concept-M.[1] The official presentation of the production vehicle took place less than a year later, at the end of December 2022. The V09 expanded the range of the Chinese company as the first such a large vehicle, together with the parallel debut of the A06, based on the new, dedicated H-GEA platform created using high-performance steel.[2]

The V09 is decorated with sharp lines, with sliding doors to the second row of seats, as well as a high line of windows and LED lighting. The double-row headlights form two lampshades, in turn, among others: sensors for the second-level semi-autonomous driving assistant are hidden in the mirrors.[3]

The V09 is an electric car whose drive system has not yet been thoroughly characterized in terms of parameters. The car has been adapted to a fast charging system with a capacity of up to 158 kW, while the operating efficiency is to be ensured by a three-component nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium battery with high energy density.[4] A 5-minute charge would charge the batteries to a level that allows the vehicle travel up to 200 km (120 mi).[5]
