AITO M5

The AITO M5 is a compact luxury SUV produced by Seres under the AITO brand in collaboration with Huawei from 2022.[1] The model is the first product of HIMA and the AITO brand, and slots under the later AITO M7.[2] The M5 is available in two powertrain options, range extender electric (EREV) and battery electric (EV).

Since 2023, the M5 is included in the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), a multi-brand collaboration model with Huawei.

Overview

The AITO M5 was initially unveiled only as a range extended electric vehicle (EREV) on December 23, 2021 and is based on the same platform as the Seres SF5. A battery-electric variant (BEV) was unveiled in September 2022.[3] The AITO M5 has a 10.4-inch dashboard display and a 15.6-inch screen on the center console, and is one of the first vehicles to ever utilize the Huawei HarmonyOS 3 infotainment system. The EREV version has two 40W wireless chargers with active cooling, three 66W wired, one 60W wired and two 27W Huawei MagLink magnetic chargers. All chargers can be used simultaneously.[4]

In March 2023, the AITO M5 was shortly rebranded as Huawei AITO M5 before Yu Chengdong, a Huawei executive issued that all promotional materials related to Huawei will be removed on April 1 from AITO stores.[5][6]

Facelift (2025)

The AITO announced the refreshed version of the M5 for 2025 called the Ultra on March 1, 2025 with pre-orders starting the same day, and launch later that month on 20 March with deliveries beginning on April 3.[7] The exterior receives two new paint colors, Phantom Purple and Zero-Degree White, and a new optional Obsidian visual package with black-painted wheels, badge, lower grille, and window trim.[8][9]

The interior features minor changes including the move to a column-mounted shifter allowing for a 14.4 L open storage space underneath the center console, and the front passenger seat gains a four-way adjustable legrest. The front cupholders are reconfigured to be side-by-side discrete units, the wireless charging pads have been upgraded to 50W, and the USB-C charging outlet now outputs 100W. The seat upholstery gains a new Red Tea Orange color option.[8][9]

Every variant of the M5 Ultra is equipped with Huawei's ADS 3.3 ADAS system as standard, with sensor upgrades including one new 192-line LiDAR and five 4-dimension mmWave radars. The system is capable of supervised autonomous driving in highway and urban environments, automatic emergency braking (AEB) in all directions, automatic emergency steering, and a remote control parking function. The braking system has been improved, with 81% smoother braking according to AITO.[8][9]

The powertrain hardware remains unchanged compared to the 2024 model, and the M5 Ultra is available in battery-electric and range extended rear-wheel drive, or range-extender exclusive all-wheel drive.[7][8]

Powertrain

The range extended version of the AITO M5 is equipped with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 92 kW as a range extender with a 56 L fuel tank. The combined fuel consumption of the AITO M5 is 1.1 L/100km and 1.2 L/100km for the 2WD and AWD models.[10] The AITO M5 has a 140 km (NEDC) electric range from its 40 kWh battery. When paired with the range extender, which can produce 3.2kWh/liter of petrol, the combined range is 1000 km (NEDC).[11]

The AITO M5 rear-wheel drive model uses a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor providing a peak power of 200 kW and 360 Nm of torque. The 4WD model uses a rear motor with 150 kW of power and 300 Nm of torque and a front induction asynchronous motor with a power of 165 kW and 420 Nm of torque, giving the car a total peak output of 315 kW and 720 Nm of torque allowing the vehicle to do a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.4 seconds.[11]

The battery-electric M5 EV single-motor variant uses a rear positioned motor with rear-wheel-drive and driving range under CLTC standards is 620 km. The four-wheel-drive dual motor driving range under CLTC is 552 km.

AITO announced the M5 Ultra received 15,000 pre-orders on 30 April 2025 after they opened earlier that year on 1 March.[9] On June 1 2025, the M5 Ultra exceeded 10,000 deliveries after they started on April 3.[12]
