New AITO M9 Deliveries Begin: 285,000+ Cumulative and 70,000+ Pre-Orders
Huawei’s Hongmeng Zhixing (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) began deliveries of the all-new AITO M9 on June 13, 2026, as the flagship large SUV accumulates over 70,000 pre-orders since its May 27 launch. The M9 series has now delivered a cumulative 285,000 units across all generations, making it the best-selling model in the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, which has surpassed 1.39 million total deliveries across all brands. Tencent News reports that actor Huang Bo has been named the AITO M9 brand ambassador.
The 2026 AITO M9 launches with over 140 technology upgrades and starts at 479,800 yuan ($70,800) for the Max+ trim. The Ultra version is priced at 539,800 yuan ($79,700), while the Ultimate long-wheelbase edition reaches 649,800 yuan ($95,900) and begins deliveries in August.
800V Platform and Six LiDAR Suite
Built on an all-new 800V dual-silicon-carbide platform, the new M9 is available in both EREV and BEV configurations. The EREV variant pairs a 1.5T engine (118 kW) with dual motors (front 220 kW + rear 277 kW), offering either 340 km or 422 km of pure electric range depending on battery capacity (60 kWh or 75 kWh), with combined range reaching 1,405 km. The BEV version features the same dual-motor AWD setup with a standard 120 kWh battery pack delivering 715 km CLTC range.
The standout feature is Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 5 intelligent driving system, paired with six solid-state LiDAR units — including a roof-mounted 896-line forward LiDAR, an in-cabin LiDAR, and units in the grille, sides, and rear. This is complemented by five 4D millimeter-wave radars, 12 cameras, and 16 ultrasonic sensors, China News Service reports. The system supports full-scenario navigated driving assistance across highways, urban roads, and parking.
HarmonyOS Cabin 4.0 and Active Chassis
The interior features HarmonyOS Cabin 4.0 with dual 17.2-inch 3.4K screens, a dual-focal-length AR-HUD, and Huawei’s latest AI large model powering the Xiaoyi voice assistant. The M9 offers five-seat or six-seat configurations, with three zero-gravity seats in the six-seat version. A 32-inch retractable rear projection screen and HUAWEI SOUND 39-speaker audio system create what Huawei calls a “360-degree cinema mode” that even works outside the vehicle.
The chassis features an all-aluminum construction with double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, intelligent closed-loop air springs, CDC variable damping, and Huawei’s DATS dynamic adaptive torque system. The full active intelligent chassis can sense road conditions in real-time and adjust suspension states proactively.
Why It Matters Globally
The AITO M9 represents Huawei’s most comprehensive vehicle technology showcase — from six-LiDAR autonomous driving to full active chassis to AI-powered cabin. With 285,000 cumulative deliveries and 70,000+ pre-orders for the new generation, it demonstrates that Chinese smart EVs can compete at the $70,000-$96,000 price point traditionally dominated by Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. As Huawei expands its Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance globally, the M9’s technology stack sets the benchmark.
