Soueast S09 1.6T DCT

The S09 has a bold and vigorous aesthetic with smooth and elegant lines, clearly seen by its golden proportions. The front features a continuous LED headlight and a U-shaped grille with 222 individual LED lights. The cabin is also spacious with premium interior c featuring an EASY OPEN power tailgate and a boss button. Tech includes the smart cockpit, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, includes a voice control system supporting six languages and offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This combination of design and technology ensures a modern driving experience.

The Soueast S09 is quite an impressive, premium looking and luxurious electric SUV, and I would say the top three things I like about this car are the very distinctive exterior design like the U shaped grille, electric sunroof, and sharp front look. Similarly, the interior has some cool features like an 8 way adjustable main driver seat, electronic gear shift 15.6 inch LCD dashboard, a 10.25 inch console screen, and 50W wireless charger. I liked the overall design of the cockpit. It was very neat and premium. I also think the SUV gets all the latest tech, pretty standard with Chinese brands be it safety, comfort or convenience.

Another exciting SUV going to hit the Saudi market, the Soueast S09 appears to be quite attractive, and looking at the overall length, it is less than 5 meters but the cabin looks spacious, with a number of features and technologies. This is a new Chinese brand entering the market, so I don’t know how customers will reach but whatever I know so far, it is worth waiting for its launch. I wish to explore this SUV in detail before really judging it. But overall, I’m positive about the car's appealing design and overall performance.

The Soueast S09 is a luxury SUV which has some of the most advanced features, like a Qualcomm snapdragon 8155 chip, I think first in a car like this. Then 50W wireless charging, intelligent electronic gearshift in crystal, air quality CN95 filters and ventilation system to purify air inside the cabin. This is really high-end stuff, and the new age buyers will definitely like it. 15.5 inch LCD dashboard, 10.2 inch console screen, panoramic sunroof, etc. The performance is guaranteed by a 78kWh battery, electric motor and also fast charging.

The Soueast S09 looks sleek and feature packed SUV. The design looks modern with U shaped grille. The leather seats look comfortable with 8 way adjustments. The interiors are neat and simple, large infotainment screen with carplay support. It has a 2.0 litre TGDI engine coupled with 7 speed DCT gearbox, which produces 390Nm of torque.

I wasn’t really aware of this car brand before and was recently informed about its origin from China and how the Soueast Cars are popular in the country. And this brand is now coming to Saudi Arabia with their electric vehicle range mostly into the SUV segment. Honestly, the EV segment has become so actively buzzing in the Kingdom which is spiking the rest of customers. And the Chinese players are certainly a lot ahead in this competition. I know BYD and now several of them are coming to the market.

The Soueast S09 is definitely head turner with its sleek design and modern aesthetics. It is a great option for city commuting, it offers a smooth ride and decent performance for the price range. The cabin is quite spacious for a compact car and the tech features like touchscreen infotainment and rear camera are intuitive. It is not the most powerful vehicle but definitely a great choice for city driving.
