Stelato is using regulatory approval to raise expectations for its large SUV before launch. Autohome reports that the Stelato G9 has received Beijing L3 autonomous-driving road-test permission and is expected to launch in the third quarter, likely in August.
The permit covers high-speed road testing up to 120 km/h. The system uses a multi-sensor approach including LiDAR, cameras and millimeter-wave radar, with safety, cybersecurity and data-management validation.
The G9 has completed MIIT filing and will offer both range-extended and pure-electric versions on an 800V high-voltage platform. Dimensions are listed at 5,377 mm long with a 3,160 mm wheelbase.
Why it matters
In China, L3 testing approval is becoming a credibility marker for smart EVs. It does not make the car fully self-driving, but it signals that the model is entering a stricter validation lane.
The G9 gives Stelato a technology-heavy flagship SUV story before customers see final pricing.
