On a normal week in Dubai the 8X drives as an electric car: 320 km of electric range on Max and Ultra with the 55 kWh battery, 410 km CLTC on Ultra+ with the 70 kWh battery. Home or mall charging covers the commute and the petrol unit stays asleep.
When the battery runs low, the 2.0-litre engine works as a 145 kW range-extender generator with a 205 kW peak — the car keeps its power instead of going flat. Up to 1,416 km CLTC combined on the 70 kWh battery: Dubai to Abu Dhabi and back without planning a stop.
The full-stack 900V high-voltage architecture charges at up to 6C: the manufacturer quotes 20–80% in nine minutes on an ultra-fast liquid-cooled charger at room temperature. Real time depends on the charger, and our team will tell you which ones in Dubai come close.
Dual-motor all-wheel drive on Max, Ultra and Ultra+: 660 kW, 898 hp and 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The tri-motor Dawn raises that to 1,400 hp and 2.96 seconds — quick enough to make overtaking a non-event.
Predictive energy management plans the route ahead and switches between twelve power modes on its own, worth 3–7% in fuel. Nothing to learn, no range arithmetic before every trip.
The hybrid system is rated across the full range from −40 °C to +50 °C, and a ten-source heat pump recovers up to 95% of waste heat. In August that is the difference between a car that holds its performance and one that quietly throttles back.
