EBRO s900 PHEV 4x4: Spain’s Trojan Horse in the Luxury SUV Arena
For those who remember EBRO as a builder of rugged, no-nonsense tractors and commercial vans, its recent rebirth is nothing short of a cinematic plot twist. The Spanish marque has officially unveiled its fourth and most ambitious model yet: the s900 PHEV 4x4. This 4.81-meter seven-seater isn't just a flagship; it is a declaration of intent, signaling that EBRO is no longer content with the sidelines. Built on the Chery Group’s sophisticated T2X platform, the s900 is essentially a high-tech "Trojan Horse"—Spanish branding and Barcelona assembly wrapped around a powerhouse of Chinese engineering designed to disrupt the European establishment.
While most manufacturers are content with two motors, EBRO has gone for overkill. The s900’s propulsion system is a complex mechanical symphony consisting of three electric motors and a 1.5-liter TGDI petrol engine. This quartet provides a permanent, intelligent 4x4 system that delivers numbers more common in sports sedans than family haulers:
System Output: A staggering 313 kW (425 hp) and 580 Nm of torque.
Performance: It hits 100 km/h in a brisk 5.8 seconds.
The Brains: A 3-speed DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) manages 11 different operating modes, ensuring the transition between pure electric and hybrid driving is virtually imperceptible.
Terrain Mastery: Six dedicated driving modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Sand, Off-road) recalibrate the traction control to handle everything from Spanish highways to muddy trails.
Range Without Compromise
In a world where "range anxiety" is the ultimate buzzword, the s900 offers a compelling antidote. Equipped with a 34.46 kWh battery pack from CATL, it boasts a pure electric range of up to 140 km (stretching to 177 km in stop-and-go city traffic). When the 70-liter petrol tank is factored in, the total cruising range exceeds the 1,000 km mark—a figure that makes trans-European road trips look effortless.
Perhaps more impressive is the charging speed. The s900 supports DC fast charging at up to 71 kW, a rarity for plug-in hybrids. This allows for a 30% to 80% top-up in just 25 minutes. It also features V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability, essentially turning the car into a massive mobile power bank for your camping gear or power tools.
Digital Sophistication and Safety
Inside, the s900 sheds its utilitarian heritage for a cabin that is unashamedly premium. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, the dashboard is dominated by a triple-threat display setup:
15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen for infotainment.
10.25-inch digital cluster for the driver.
8.8-inch Head-Up Display (HUD) to keep eyes on the road.
The luxury continues with a 14-speaker Sony audio system and massage seats for the front occupants. Safety is equally high-priority, featuring 26 different ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and a chassis constructed of 85% high-strength steel.
