The GAC brand has announced the characteristics of a large crossover S9 for the Russian Federation

The large hybrid crossover GAC S9 will go on sale in Russia with a 340-horsepower hybrid powerplant, which allows you to accelerate from a standstill to a hundred in 7.2 seconds and drive 1,019 km without stopping to refuel or recharge. This is stated in the message of the Russian representative office of the brand, which was received by Izvestia on May 20.

The length of the crossover is 5060 mm, the wheelbase is 2930 mm. The GAS S9 has a sequential hybrid system (REEV), where the car is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle. A 1.5 liter gasoline turbo engine is used as a generator and serves to maintain battery power. It is noted that the transport tax on sequential hybrids is calculated based on the maximum 30-minute power of electric motors, and for the GAC S9 they are 147 hp.

Combined fuel consumption with a low battery is 7.4 liters per 100 km. The electric range is up to 208 km. The car uses an NMC (nickel—cobalt-manganese) traction battery manufactured by CATL with a capacity of 44.5 kWh. The fast charging time from 30% to 80% is 15 minutes.

The crossover is equipped with an adaptive suspension, which allows you to change the stiffness of the shock absorbers depending on the driving mode, and a set of ADAS driver assistance systems, which, among other things, includes adaptive cruise control, a lane keeping system and a parking attendant.
