The M9 isn't just an SUV, it's a smartphone on wheels with futuristic screens, powerful engines, and China's EV ambitions in play.
Emerging from the burgeoning Chinese EV landscape, the Huawei Aito M9 is a full-size luxury SUV that boldly announces its tech-driven aspirations. Launched at Huawei’s winter conference in China, the M9's exterior speaks volumes about its tech-centric DNA. Triangular headlights, flush-fitting door handles, and a gently sloping roofline hint at both aerodynamic prowess and spaciousness within. The "Kunpeng Zhanyi" design language, with its sharp lines and futuristic elements, leaves a lasting impression.
Step inside and be greeted by a symphony of screens. A 15.6-inch main infotainment display, flanked by a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a dedicated passenger screen, puts information readily at hand. But the visual feast doesn't stop there. A 75-inch AR-HUD paints vital information onto the windshield, while optional rear passenger screens transform the cabin into a mobile entertainment haven.
The M9 isn't just a spectacle of screens; It is available in both hybrid and electric versions, with prices starting at 469,800 yuan (approx. $65,750) as per the exchange rates at the time of writing this. The M9 is aimed at competing with established luxury SUVs from brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, as well as newer Chinese rivals like Nio and HiPhi. The first deliveries of the Huawei Aito M9 are expected in early 2024.

The Aito M9's exterior design boldly announces its kinship with Huawei's tech-driven vision. Borrowing the "sharp tech" language debuted on the Huawei Luxeed S7 sedan, the M9 cuts a striking figure with its triangular headlights bisected by a piercing LED strip. Flush-fitting, retractable door handles further emphasize the car's aerodynamic ambitions, while a gently sloping roofline hints at spaciousness within.

Aerodynamics reign supreme, with the EV version boasting a drag coefficient of 0.264 Cd, and the EREV version coming in at a respectable 0.279 Cd.
The Headlights Project The Future Of Smart Driving
Blurring the lines between car and smartphone, the Aito M9's headlights, Huawei's own handiwork, double as projectors, capable of displaying images and videos. This isn't just a flashy gimmick; the headlights can also intelligently direct their beams to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, with an accuracy of up to 1.2 meters according to Aito. Recognizing not only cars but also pedestrians.
A Tech Oasis Of Screens And Space
The Aito M9's interior embodies a futuristic vision of automotive comfort, meticulously crafted with an emphasis on spaciousness and intelligent functionalities. Stepping inside reveals a six-seater haven configured in a 2+2+2 layout, each seat adorned with plush Nappa leather for a touch of luxurious comfort.
The driver's cockpit takes center stage, transformed into a digital command center by a trio of high-resolution screens. A dominant 15.6-inch display reigns supreme, serving as the main infotainment hub. Flanked by a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a dedicated 16-inch passenger screen, the Aito M9 creates a symphony of information readily accessible to both driver and front passenger.
But the visual feast doesn't stop there. A breathtaking 75-inch augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) paints vital information onto the windshield, further blurring the lines between reality and digital immersion. Powering this symphony of screens is Huawei's Harmony OS system, promising a seamless and intuitive user experience for controlling navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. For those seeking an even more immersive experience, the Aito M9 offers an optional quartet of 10-inch screens mounted for the rear passengers' enjoyment.
