AITO

The AITO M5 (Chinese: 问界M5; pinyin: Wènjiè 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.

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][full citation needed]} 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 40 W wireless chargers with active cooling, three 66 W wired, one 60 W wired and two 27 W 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

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 (0.51 cu ft) 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 50 W, and the USB-C charging outlet now outputs 100 W. 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.
