The new vehicle continues to offer 5-seat and 6-seat versions, with both extended-range and pure electric options available. ● New model highlights: Exterior: Luxury presence elevated to a new level In terms of exterior design, the new AITO M9 is refreshed based on the "luxurious and grand" style of the current model. The new vehicle introduces a new-generation million-pixel full-color smart projection headlight, featuring practical functions such as curved light carpet illumination and distance warning. The small blue light also adopts a through-type design, maximizing recognition when lit at night, showcasing both flagship presence and a blend of technology and futuristic appeal. The front bumper has been updated to
The brand-new mesh grille becomes the most intuitive change to the front fascia. The new car continues to feature a 896-line LiDAR on the roof, along with two additional LiDAR sensors at the front windshield and mesh grille area, with the lower one being a solid-state LiDAR. On the side profile, the new AITO M9 maintains the commanding proportions of a full-size SUV, with smooth, flowing lines. The long-wheelbase, short-overhang design not only enhances the vehicle's stance but also directly ensures generous space across all three rows of seating. Notably, the new car upgrades to an exclusive "Starlight Welcome Package," where the side skirt welcome light carpet and mirror projection automatically illuminate when the doors open, paired with the new "Hand-Holding Auspicious Cloud" semi-hidden exterior door handles, delivering a full sense of ceremony. The brand-new large-dish wheels, combined with the two-tone body, further elevate the sense of luxury. The vehicle dimensions have been comprehensively upgraded, with the new AITO M9 measuring 5285/2026/1845mm in length, width, and height respectively, and a wheelbase extending to 3125mm. Compared to the current model, the length increases by 55mm, width by 27mm, height by 45mm, and wheelbase by 15mm. The rear of the vehicle continues the current model's design, with taillights featuring light language to meet owners' personalization needs. The new car adopts a refreshed taillight design with chrome trim, enhancing overall cohesion. Additionally,
The new car's side skirts and rear bumper have been fitted with new chrome trim pieces, further enhancing the premium feel. A camera has been added to the C-pillar on the side of the vehicle, with a total of 3 LiDAR units on the sides and rear, bringing the full vehicle count to 6 LiDAR sensors. The color upgrades are particularly striking, introducing three new finishes: Desert Gold Brown, Sayram Green, and Ocean Silver Blue.
Interior: Still the benchmark Inside, the new AITO M9 features the HarmonyOS Cockpit 4.0 system, equipped with a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster and dual 17.2-inch 3.4K displays. The rear seats come with a 32-inch retractable projection screen, paired with the HUAWEI SOUND Ultimate series 43-speaker audio system delivering 2920W of amplifier output, perfectly recreating a cinema-grade viewing experience. It enables seamless multi-person, multi-screen, multi-device interaction, allowing every occupant to enjoy a dedicated entertainment space. The rear also innovatively offers a 46-inch rear-projection viewing screen.
The new car deeply integrates Huawei's latest AI large model capabilities. The upgraded Celia smart assistant supports continuous dialogue, multi-turn commands, and scenario-based control via voice interaction, with faster response times and more accurate recognition. It effortlessly handles voice control for navigation, climate control, entertainment, and more, better aligning with Chinese users' habits. Meanwhile, the HarmonyOS Cockpit
The model has been fully revamped, supporting seamless connectivity across multiple devices such as phones, tablets, and smartwatches, enabling cross-device collaboration and completely breaking down device barriers to make smart mobility more convenient.
The new car comes standard with a panoramic integrated sun-protection sunroof, featuring double-layer soundproof glass that effectively blocks UV rays, heat, and external noise, creating a quiet and comfortable driving environment. The seating configuration has been comprehensively upgraded, offering flexible 4-seat, 5-seat, and 6-seat layouts to meet the travel needs of different users. The 5-seat version also provides a comfortable second row with a dedicated central control area. Among these, the 6-seat version is equipped with first-class seats with equal rights across all six positions. The front passenger's Shuyun dual-enjoyment seat applies Huawei's proprietary seat-back separation patent technology. The second-row all-new zero-gravity seats feature horizontal adaptive dual armrests, and the third-row seats can be fully folded flat, offering versatile seat modes that easily adapt to all-scenario travel needs. The regular trunk volume reaches 650L, expandable to 1800L when the third row is folded down, balancing household storage and large-item loading requirements. Additionally, comfort features such as front seat ventilation/heating/massage, rear seat heating/massage, and four-zone automatic climate control are all standard, further enhancing the driving experience. The new car offers fully active sensing, fully active comfort, fully active privacy, and fully active health, along with an innovative 360-degree viewing experience.
Mode: you can also watch videos outside the car. Intelligent Driving: Upgraded with 6 LiDAR sensors The core upgrade highlight of the new AITO M9 is the HUAWEI ADS 5 system, enabling full-scenario navigation-assisted driving across highways, urban areas, parking, and more. The new vehicle is equipped with 6 high-precision solid-state LiDAR sensors, including a forward-facing 896-line LiDAR (with cleaning port), a newly added in-cabin LiDAR, and additional LiDAR units on the grille, both sides of the body, and the rear, forming a full-scenario perception layout. Combined with 5 4D millimeter-wave radars, 12 cameras, and 16 ultrasonic radars, the comprehensive perception system can accurately identify vehicles, pedestrians, traffic facilities and signs, and cones, and even detect complex obstacles such as blind-spot steps and suspended charging piles, providing solid hardware support for intelligent driving. Powertrain: Comprehensive Upgrades In terms of powertrain, the new AITO M9 retains both extended-range and pure electric powertrain options, while incorporating Huawei's full-stack powertrain technology. The extended-range version offers 60kWh and 75kWh battery pack options, paired with a 1.5T engine and dual-motor setup. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 118kW, the front motor produces up to 220kW, and the rear motor generates up to 277kW, compared to the current model.
Power output has been improved, with亏电 fuel consumption as low as 6.9L/100km. Under WLTC conditions, pure electric range spans multiple versions from 250km to 335km, with a maximum combined range of up to 1474km. The pure electric version is equipped with a 120kWh ternary lithium battery, and its CLTC pure electric range is expected to exceed 650km. A core upgrade is the adoption of an 800V high-voltage architecture, also featuring a dual-motor four-wheel-drive system with front and rear motors delivering maximum power of 220kW and 277kW respectively, achieving a combined power of 497kW (676 horsepower) and peak torque of 930N·m, with 0-100km/h acceleration in just 4.5 seconds. Peak charging power has been significantly enhanced, enabling 300km of range with just 10 minutes of charging, and a 10%-80% fast charge in only 25 minutes. Additionally, the new vehicle supports V2L/V2H external discharge functions.
In terms of driving control, the new AITO M9 becomes the first model under Harmony Intelligent Mobility to feature fully active suspension, equipped with the next-generation Turing fully active chassis and next-generation intelligent preview control, which is one of the core differences from the previous generation. This fully active suspension system incorporates independent actuators that actively output force to adjust suspension stiffness and damping, rather than passively adapting to road conditions. It also integrates preview recognition functionality, enabling proactive
