New AITO Wenjie M9 Official Images Released: A Giant Leap in Size and Intelligence

AITO (Wenjie) has officially released the first images and technical details of the new M9 flagship SUV. This mid-cycle refresh is not just a facelift; it brings significant upgrades to the vehicle’s dimensions, autonomous driving hardware, and chassis technology, solidifying its position as a leader in the premium NEV (New Energy Vehicle) market.

Expanded Dimensions and Refined Luxury

The new AITO M9 has grown significantly to provide a more commanding presence and superior interior space. The new dimensions are:

Length: 5,285 mm (+55mm)
Width: 2,026 mm (+27mm)
Height: 1,845 mm (+45mm)
Wheelbase: 3,125 mm (+15mm)

Beyond size, the exterior features a new color palette and semi-hidden door handles—rumored to feature the “Starlight” design seen on the ultra-luxury MAEXTRO S800. The integration of “through-type” lighting and new wheel designs further enhances its high-tech aesthetic.

Revolutionary Sensing: 6-LiDAR System

In a major hardware breakthrough, the new M9 is equipped with 6 LiDAR sensors. Combined with new side-mounted cameras on the C-pillars, the vehicle achieves a true 360° zero-blind-spot perception.

This hardware suite allows the vehicle to:

Identify smaller, lower obstacles with high precision.
Predict potholes on unpaved roads.
Support advanced L3/L4 autonomous driving exploration.
Expand smart driving capabilities to complex off-road and rural terrains.

First-Ever Fully Active Suspension

The new M9 marks a milestone for the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA) as the first model to feature a fully active suspension system.

By integrating road-pre-scanning and wire-controlled technology, the chassis can “see” the road ahead. It automatically adjusts suspension stiffness and damping in real-time, ensuring maximum stability and comfort even on rough surfaces.

Upgraded Powertrain: More Power, More Range

AITO continues to offer both BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) and EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) versions, now powered by the latest generation of CATL batteries.

EREV (Range Extender) Highlights:

Battery Options: 60kWh and 75kWh.
Pure Electric Range: Up to 335 km (a significant increase over the current model).
Performance: Dual motors delivering 220kW (front) and 277kW (rear).

BEV (Pure Electric) Highlights:

Battery: 120kWh ultra-large pack.
Performance: Upgraded dual-motor system with a combined output of 497kW.
