Car quickly labelled 'Chinese Rolls-Royce' is launched and costs less than $100,000

This car, labeled the ‘Chinese Rolls-Royce,’ has been launched, and it’s surprisingly affordable, costing less than $100,000.

If you want an ultra-luxury Sedan just like a Rolls-Royce but with only a luxury price tag, then the Maextro S800 may be the car for you.

While it is best compared to the British luxury SUV, it really is a Chinese invention all of its with pretty much all the parts invented and developed in its home country.

This is the first model to be produced in collaboration between two Chinese companies, JAC Group and the tech company, Huawei.

Most people want to buy a Rolls-Royce, but wouldn’t want to spend Rolls-Royce supercar money if they could help it.

Handily for pretty much anyone, the ‘Chinese Rolls-Royce’ AKA the Maextro S800 exists, and it is so hi-tech that we can’t believe it is on the market for just under $100,000.

This model is the first collaboration between two Chinese companies, an automaker called JAC Group and a company known for its famous gigafactories and affordable tech, Huawei.

Thanks to its tech background, the ultra-luxury SUV comes a whopping 192 LiDar sensors, as well as 16 cameras and relies heavily on AI, which is always growing and developing thanks to it’s ‘deep learning’ system.

Huawei has created something special for Maextro S800 called ‘Xmotion’ which can detect changes in the road surface before the SUV drives over them, making it the smoothest ride ever.

The SUV has fully-active suspension which basically means all four corners are controlled independently of each other.

Not only is it amazingly hi-tech, it also looks so cool, with a sleek exterior and leather and wood-clad accents on the interior.

With the EREV Triple-Electric Motor, the SUV can reach up to a whopping 852 horsepower, not only does it look amazing and is so hi-tech, it’s also super speedy.
