The new SUV is poised to enter the market with both an extended-range version and a pure electric variant, both priced between 500,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan. The automaker disclosed that the AITO M9 can be expected to hit the market in December.

The AITO M9 boasts an elegantly enclosed front fascia with polygonal headlights seamlessly connected to the central light strip. The closed-off front grille exudes a sense of luxury, while prominent front and rear fender flares contribute to a muscular look. The slim trapezoidal air intake and concealed door handles enhance the SUV's modern design and reduce wind resistance. The vehicle measures 5,230mm in length, 1,999mm in width, and 1,800mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,110mm and 21-inch alloy wheels.

The CEO of Huawei's Intelligent Automotive Solution Business Unit, Richard Yu, commented on the AITO M9, stating that it would "redefine the best intelligent SUV under 10 million yuan."

Since the model’s blind pre-order phase kicked off on September 25, the M9 has secured a substantial number of reservations, based only on a few rendering images and limited configuration information. The strong pre-order interest indicates a promising future for AITO's flagship SUV.
