A Luxury Chauffeur Experience

Deliveries of the Aito M9 actually kicked off earlier this year in February 2024, with an updated version hitting the market in March 2025. It’s already a hit, with cumulative deliveries soaring to 236,143 units by August 2025. This new four-seat variant, launched on September 24, is clearly designed to elevate the passenger experience, aiming squarely at the high-end chauffeur-driven segment.

Step inside the four-seat Aito M9, and you’re greeted by two opulent captain chairs in the second row. These aren’t just any seats, they support an independent zero-gravity mode and come with power-operated leg rests, ensuring maximum comfort. You also get all the creature comforts like heating, ventilation, and massage functions. Between these luxurious seats, a large armrest features handy cup holders and a hidden compartment, adding to the executive feel.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Performance

The four-seat Aito M9 is exclusively available in a top-tier Ultra trim. This means you’re getting intelligent headlights and Huawei’s advanced ADS 4 driver assistance system. This system is a proper game changer, enabling address-to-address Navigate On Autopilot (NOA) functionality, making long drives effortless and safer.

Under the hood, or rather, beneath the sleek exterior, the M9 offers two compelling powertrain options. The EREV, or extended range electric vehicle, uses a 52 kWh battery, providing a respectable 266 km of CLTC electric range. But for those longer journeys, a 65-liter fuel tank paired with a 1.5-liter turbocharged internal combustion engine (ICE) extends the total mixed range to an impressive 1,417 km. This EREV variant boasts a dual-motor 4WD system, pushing out 365 kW (489 hp) and rocketing from 0 to 100 km/h in a swift 5.1 seconds.

If you’re all about pure electric power, the BEV version of the Aito M9 doesn’t disappoint. It comes with a substantial 100 kWh battery, offering a CLTC range of 605 km. Powering this electric beast are two electric motors, delivering a combined output of 390 kW (523 hp) for some serious punch. Thanks to this higher peak power, the BEV M9 shaves off a few tenths from its EREV sibling, hitting 100 km/h in a blistering 4.7 seconds.

Value in a Crowded Market

While the four-seat Aito M9 Ultra is priced between 559,800 and 589,800 yuan (78,710 – 82,930 USD), it positions itself competitively within the premium SUV segment. To put it in perspective, the five-seat variant of the Aito M9 ranges from 469,800 to 549,800 yuan (66,050 – 77,300 USD), and the six-seat version is available between 479,800 and 569,800 yuan (67,460 – 80,115 USD). This strategic pricing strategy aims to capture a wider audience, offering a configuration for every need and budget. With Huawei’s extensive tech integration, the M9 isn’t just a car; it’s a smart, luxurious, and powerful statement on wheels.
