Intelligent driving

The N8L Flash Charge Edition is equipped with the “God’s Eye” 5.0 system, featuring reinforcement learning end-to-end large models and massive real-world driving data for continuous evolution. It enables all-scenario intelligent detouring and U-turn capabilities.

Powertrain and charging

The new model is powered by the second-generation Blade Battery and flash charging technology. The entire lineup comes standard with a plug-in hybrid dedicated 2.0T high-efficiency engine and high-efficiency EHS hybrid system.

Power figures include:

2.0T engine maximum power: 152 kW

Three-motor maximum power: 560 kW (751 hp)

The battery pack capacity reaches 75.26 kWh, with a pure electric range of 430km. The 0-100km/h acceleration falls within the 3-second range. Thanks to flash charging technology, the vehicle can achieve “5 minutes to charge sufficiently, 9 minutes to charge fully,” with only an additional 3 minutes required at -30°C.

Advanced technologies

The chassis incorporates the DiSus-A intelligent air body control system, which dynamically increases suspension stiffness and damping to reduce body roll and lower rollover risk. Paired with intelligent road surface preview 2.0, the system scans the road ahead through sensors and proactively adjusts suspension status based on different road conditions.
