Leaping into Production: leaked images of the suspected GAC Hudson L9 interior reveal a new flag bearer for Guo Guang's flagship SUV brand
GAC Hudson has recently released alleged photos of its upcoming full-size SUV, shrouded in secrecy since before its debut at the 2024 Beijing Motor Show. The model is speculated to be the production version of the previously unveiled GAC Hudson Sci-Tech Flagship SUV, with rumors abound about its design and technical specifications.
Sources indicate that this new vehicle may bear the name GAC Hudson L9, although another possibility could be the GAC Hudson Starship 9 EM-i, considering Hudson's recent naming policy. This model is anticipated for release in 2025, alongside potential counterparts from brands Leqing and Xieyi, marking a major push into the premium SUV segment from Guo Guang.
Noteworthy features of these images include:
- Reduced dimensions compared to the coming-out Leqing L946
- Double-row seating configuration verifying small size
- Relatively compact-sized storage for rear seats and an unusual dual compartment design for its doors
- A well-enhanced layout compared with existing models like GAC Hudson Sci-Tech, particularly due to use of screen elements as well as extensive integration of driver-centric features
In contrast to initial impressions:
- Design Overview: Compared to the soon-departed Scitech line,
- Enhanced features from Hudson top-tier models.
- Furthermore, an intriguing technical leap is suggested by inclusion of voice command control, with a seat incorporating advanced AI algorithms.
The above highlights are part of GAC Hudson's overall push into premium SUVs and a renewed focus on leveraging cutting-edge technology to captivate discerning buyers in the highly competitive 2025 global market.
