1 year ago

A few days ago, on December 26th, Huawei unveiled its smart car, the AITO M9, featuring a range of luxurious functions and running on the HarmonyOS 4.0 operating system.


However, that's not all; there are many other interesting features on the list. The AITO M9 boasts a robust structure inspired by the flagship Mate 60 phone, with dimensions of 5230mm x 1999mm x 1800mm and a wheelbase of 3110mm. It is a six-seater car categorized as a large SUV.


The ultimate smart car is available in five color options: Galaxy Blue, Danxia Orange, Makino Green, Yadan Black, and Gilt Black. At the same time, users will also find specific color combinations.



Exterior Design:


The AITO M9 showcases a luxurious appearance with premium components for both interior and exterior views. The overall structure is produced using the All-in-One design technology. Eventually, the front side integrates daytime lights, two high and low-beam headlights, and smart air intake ducts, giving it a robust look.


Speaking of the headlights, the AITO M9 uses Huawei's smart headlights system that offers three light-reflecting styles: Human Galaxy, Space-Time Tunnel, and Smart Star Ring. One can use these themes as a projector, making the smart car more productive.



At the same time, these headlights bear significant features for driving safety and light signs display. Moving ahead, AITO M9's body is made using the world's largest one-piece die-casting technology. The entire vehicle is covered with aluminum alloy, constituting 80% of the volume, making the car extremely lightweight.


Its drag coefficient is as low as 2.02, and it uses a 2000MPa nuclear submarine-grade hot steel in 12 different spots. These components make the smart vehicle robust, corrosion-resistant, and highly reliable for long usage.



Interior Design:


What distinguishes the interior design of the AITO M9 is the 32-inch large projection screen in the second row. This display supports a 3K resolution, 100% P3 color gamut, one-tap viewing mode, and Huawei wireless remote control. There is no lack of entertainment, and users will enjoy an amazing experience.


Apart from this, the car integrates a triple-screen design with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 15.6-inch control screen with 2K resolution, and a 16-inch 3K resolution passenger entertainment screen.



Technology and Additions:


The car uses Huawei's XHUD head-up display system with 2K resolution. On the other hand, the car consists of a multi-function steering wheel with a new gear lever. In terms of seats, the second row has two flexible seats with an aisle to adjust the entry and exit of the third row.


AITO M9 also installs Huawei Touring intelligent chassis. The whole series comes standard with smart 9 closed-airbags and CDC variable damping shock absorbers. It further gives room to the Huawei ADS 2.0 along with the latest 192-lidar, high-definition cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and more.


Some other technological features include the Xiaoyi smart assistant, the built-in Pangu large model, car-home interconnectivity, a small refrigerator, and seat adjustments up to 5-level height. Another powerful segment is the smart road preview system to control road conditions efficiently.



Key Differences:


Huawei has launched the HarmonyOS 4-powered AITO M9 in two ultimate power variants: "Pure Electric" and "Extended Range." These two versions only differ in terms of performance. Meanwhile, other characteristics remain somewhat similar.


The Pure Electric version has dual motors—front and rear—with a maximum power of 160kW and 230kW, respectively. Meanwhile, the total power efficiency is around 390kW, and the car can accelerate from 0 to 100kW within 4.3 seconds.


It uses Huawei's Whale 800V high-voltage battery with a durability of 150km in 5 minutes of charging. Yet, it showed a battery life of 630km under a light-duty vehicle test in China.



The Extended Version supports thermal efficiency of 41% and a fuel-to-electricity conversation rate of 3.44kWh/L. Consequently, the fuel consumption range is quite low, around 6.9L. The battery is available in 42-degree and 52-degree variants.
