Zhijie V9 Winter Test Reveals Rear-Wheel Steering, 5.35m Turning Radius Conquers Ice and Snow

Harmony Intelligent Mobility today released winter testing footage of its first MPV, the Zhijie V9, unveiling for the first time its ±7° rear-wheel active steering function. Built on Huawei’s Tuling platform, the vehicle features a dual-chamber air suspension system capable of raising the ride height by 50 mm. During rigorous winter tests—including split-friction ice/snow surfaces, crater-like potholes, and large circular tracks—the V9 demonstrated zero wheel slip or trajectory deviation throughout. The system employs sensors to detect impending slip in real time, instantly coordinating the air suspension and dynamic assistance systems for rapid response, ensuring precise handling. Measuring 5,359 mm long, 2,009 mm wide, and 1,879 mm tall, with a 3,250 mm wheelbase, the Zhijie V9 is equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent driving hardware and the Snowy Owl intelligent range-extending system, delivering a CLTC combined range exceeding 1,250 km (with a full tank of fuel and a fully charged 53 kWh battery). The cabin features NAPPA leather, natural wood trim, and crystal accents. The second-row seats offer 123° zero-gravity recline, multi-angle rotation, and are complemented by industry-first wrap-around side airbags. Additional premium amenities include welcome lighting carpets and an onboard oxygen bar.
