The Aito M5 is the first model to be built by Huawei with a carmaker, and deliveries started in March 2022.

Aito initially offered only the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) variants for the M5, and it launched battery electric vehicle (BEV) variants for the model in September 2022.

Currently, the Aito M5 is available in seven variants, including four EREV and three BEV variants.

The Aito M5's four EREV variants are currently priced at starting prices of RMB 249,800 ($34,520), RMB 269,800, RMB 279,800 and RMB 299,800 respectively. Its three BEV versions start at RMB 259,800, RMB 289,800 and RMB 309,800 respectively.

The Aito M5 is a mid-size SUV and its EREV variant has a length, width and height of 4,770 mm, 1,930 mm, 1,625 mm and a wheelbase of 2,880 mm. Its BEV variant has a length, width and height of 4,785 mm, 1,930 mm, 1,620 mm and a wheelbase of 2,880 mm.

Apart from the M5, Aito also has the M7 and M9, both of which are SUVs.

The Aito M7 was initially launched on July 4, 2022. On September 12, 2023, Huawei rolled out the updated M7 at one of its launch events, allowing the price to be reduced significantly.
