Today, China hosted an official event where Huawei kicked off deliveries of its first AITO M5 vehicles. Simultaneously, the first buyers began to receive cars throughout the country. Despite the fact that the AITO M5 is produced at the partner company, Seres, it is Huawei that is responsible for the interior and exterior design of the car, part of the engineering work and marketing. Therefore, in China, no one has any questions about which company is behind this car.
AITO M5 is a hybrid crossover. The power plant consists of a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, a pair of electric motors and a traction battery with a capacity of 40 kWh. The maximum power of the power plant of the top version is 496 hp, the crossover accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.4 s. On pure electricity, the car can travel up to 150 km, and the consumption in hybrid mode is only 3.2 liters per 100 km. The maximum power reserve, measured by the WLTC method, reaches 1242 km.
The base rear-wheel drive version was offered on pre-order for $39,600. The most affordable all-wheel drive variant was $44,300, while the flagship all-wheel drive version was $50,700. Huawei believes it will be able to sell about 300,000 AITO M5s this year.
AITO M5 is the world’s first hybrid vehicle with Huawei Drive One and the world’s first with Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit. It runs HarmonyOS, of course, and the standard cockpit kit includes a 10.4-inch screen in the dashboard, another 15.6-inch display on the center console, wireless charging for a smartphone, and much more. The car also has atmospheric lighting, Nappa leather seats, a head-up display and a high-quality 1000 W Huawei Sound sound system.
