At the press conference, first of all, Mr. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of consumer BG, and CEO of smart car solution BU, mentioned the naming of AITO, similar to the naming method of many Huawei products, by replacing the U of AUTO with I, representing a profound change in the concept of travel, which is also what Huawei wants to do in terms of "car building".
The new AITO M5 in the industrial design by the Huawei team to participate in the research and development, the appearance of the vehicle is built with a luxury brand posture, in terms of size is not too large, in order to maintain agility, its body size is more compact than the medium and large SUVs, but the wheelbase has a more advanced 2880 mm, while the color matching provides six metal paint colors, three interior colors.
The interior of the Q&I M5 is still a simple layout, but it adds a lot of luxury experience, such as the 128-color atmosphere lights that run through the entire cockpit and the bezel-less super panoramic canopy, such as the 19-speaker in-car audio experience brought by HUAWEI SOUND, and the air fragrance system that is also rare on the same level of luxury brands, which are all luxurious qualities that enhance the luxury quality of the Q&I M5 in experience.
In terms of science and technology, first of all, the M5 car layout of 10.4-inch curved full LCD dashboard, 15.6-inch 2K HDR intelligent central control large screen, the internal system is matched with the Hongmeng system HarmonyOS, in addition to being able to experience the audiovisual experience that is no different from the mobile phone tablet, through the Hongmeng system can also be linked with mobile phones, smart homes, smart watches and other terminals, becoming a gesture of interconnection of everything.

The motor is composed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor and an asynchronous AC motor, its maximum power can reach 365 kilowatts, which also allows the SUV's zero hundred to do 4.4 seconds, in addition to the boundary M5 provides 5 driving modes, 3 range extension modes, 4 gears of recovery, it is worth mentioning that the whole car uses an all-aluminum chassis, while the front suspension is a double wishbone rear suspension is multi-link.
If the previous Huawei smart selection is only Huawei's small test knife on the intelligent interconnection, then this time the AITO brand is Huawei's real involvement in the "car-making" thing, it can be seen that whether it is industrial design or intelligence, Huawei undoubtedly has the world's top level, so after breaking the circle cross-border, the energy it can provide is undoubtedly world-class, and at the same time, from the pre-price point of view, the price of the M5 has not become high because of Huawei, so we still have reason to believe, Aito brand future performance in the market.
