AITO, the Huawei-Seres alliance brand, has updated its M9 flagship SUV. The car now comes in two body lengths and gains a new top Ultimate trim. It continues on Huawei’s Tuling platform with an 800V architecture.
The standard car measures 5,285 mm long on a 3,125 mm wheelbase. The Ultimate stretches to 5,402 mm and a 3,236 mm wheelbase. Exterior changes include new bumpers, matrix headlights with chrome detailing, and retro-style wheels; the Ultimate adds chrome pillar trim, an illuminated badge, and deployable running boards.
Two powertrains carry over. The range-extender (EREV) setup pairs a petrol generator with electric drive: the standard car uses a 1.5L engine and twin motors for 676 hp, with a 60 or 75.4 kWh battery and up to 422 km of electric range (CLTC). The Ultimate runs a 2.0L engine and three motors for 903 hp and 865 Nm, with a 75.4 kWh battery and 378 km of range. The battery-electric M9 uses twin motors for 676 hp and a 120 kWh battery, rated at up to 750 km.
Inside is a three-screen HarmonyOS layout with the Xiaoyi AI assistant, rotating second-row seats, a third-row table, and a 39-to-43-speaker audio system. The driver-assistance hardware steps up to six lidar units, including an 896-line dual-optical sensor, running ADS 5.0, with active Tuling suspension and a 220 km/h top speed.
Pricing runs from ¥479,800 to ¥549,800 ($70,800 - $81,150) for the standard car and ¥649,800 to ¥659,800 ($95,900 - $97,400) for the Ultimate.
