Huawei-backed AITO to launch flagship SUV M9 in Q4
The AITO M9 will be built on a new 800 V high-voltage platform, on which Huawei will place its new technologies in the cockpit and smart driving areas, according to Richard Yu.
AITO, the car brand backed by Chinese tech giant Huawei, will launch its flagship SUV, the M9, later this year, which will be its third model after the M5 and M7.
The AITO M9 will hit the market in the fourth quarter and will go beyond expectations in terms of luxury, comfort, quietness and intelligence, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's intelligent vehicle solutions business, said in a speech at an automotive industry conference in Shenzhen today.
"We have confidence that the M9 will be the most luxurious, highest-end and smartest car in the entire market," he claimed.
The AITO M9 will be built on a new 800 V high-voltage platform on which Huawei will place its new technologies in the cockpit and smart driving areas, according to Yu.
The model will be available in both an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) version and a battery electric vehicle (BEV) version, he said.
The AITO M5 is currently available in both EREV and BEV versions, while the M7 is only available in an EREV version.
The M9 will be a mobile smart home, office, and mobile smart bedroom, he said, adding that Huawei has very new technologies and experiences to bring to consumers.
AITO is the premium car brand that Huawei and Seres launched on December 2, 2021. It announced the AITO M5 on December 23, 2021, and the AITO M7 on July 4, 2022.
Deliveries of the AITO M5 begin in March 2022 and the first deliveries of the AITO M7 took place on August 24, 2022.
The M5 currently has a starting price range of RMB 259,800 ($36,530) to RMB 331,800 and the M7 is RMB 289,800 to RMB 379,800.
The brand saw strong deliveries in the second half of last year, but this year has been weak.
AITO delivered 5,629 vehicles in May, up 22.77 percent from April. From January to May, it delivered 21,873 vehicles.
In his speech today, Yu gave his view of the Chinese auto industry, saying that competition will become more intense and there will be a big reshuffle in the future.

Volkswagen China denied it was in talks to use Huawei software in its cars in China, after a report yesterday sparked widespread discussion.
There have been no discussions between Volkswagen China and other companies about operating system licensing, local media Economic View cited the German automaker as saying today.
To provide the greatest possible convenience to customers, Volkswagen is continuing to push further into the development of existing software, the automaker said.
The Financial Times said in a report yesterday that Volkswagen has been in talks to use Huawei software in its cars in China, hoping to boost its efforts to gain a bigger share of the country's electric vehicle market.
Three people familiar with the situation said Volkswagen has talked with Huawei about using the latter's technology in its cars, while another person said the German carmaker has held similar talks with other Chinese groups, according to the Financial Times report.
Volkswagen's software is seen as lagging behind some local players in China, but it is one of the most aggressive of foreign car companies seeking change.
In late 2021, there were rumors that Huawei and Volkswagen Group were planning to form a joint venture to develop self-driving technology. But this was never confirmed.
Last October 13, Horizon Robotics, one of the leading providers of computing solutions for smart vehicles in China, announced that Cariad, Volkswagen's software subsidiary, would form a joint venture with it to accelerate efforts to develop smart driving technology locally.
Volkswagen plans to invest about 2.4 billion euros for a 60 percent stake in the joint venture, which is expected to close in the first half of 2023, according to a statement from Horizon Robotics.
Last October 24, local media outlet 36kr reported that Su Jing, a former Huawei executive and self-driving industry veteran, would join the joint venture, possibly as head of one of the technologies.

VW reportedly in talks to use Huawei software in its cars in China

Volkswagen has been in talks to use Huawei software in its cars in China, hoping to boost its efforts to gain a bigger share of the country's electric vehicle (EV) market, a Financial Times report said today.
Three people familiar with the situation said Volkswagen has spoken with Huawei about using the latter's technology in its cars, while another person said the German carmaker has held similar talks with other Chinese groups, according to the report.
Volkswagen is one of the top-selling car companies in China, but it lags behind local carmakers in the country's new energy vehicle (NEV) market.
In the January-April period, Volkswagen's joint venture in China, FAW-Volkswagen, sold 509,774 units at retail, up 1.4 percent from a year earlier, and came in second with an 8.6 percent share, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
BYD sold 702,608 vehicles during the period, up 79.2 percent year-on-year, and ranked first with an 11.9 percent share.
Volkswagen's other joint venture in China, SAIC Volkswagen, sold 338,673 vehicles at retail from January to April, down 2.7 percent year-on-year, and ranked fifth with a 5.7 percent share.
In the NEV segment, BYD ranked first with a 38.1 percent share from January to April, while Tesla was second with a 9.6 percent share.
The NEV sales of Volkswagen's two joint ventures were not in the top 10 of the January-April list published by the CPCA. The No. 10 on the list is Neta, with 33,529 units sold from January to April and a 1.8 percent share.
In July 2020, Volkswagen founded software company Cariad under former CEO Herbert Diess, but earlier this month it removed almost all of Cariad's top executives from their positions.
The Financial Times report cited a person familiar with the talks between Volkswagen and the Chinese companies as saying the discussions reflected how big the problem is for a group like VW, whose unique selling proposition is their scale and platforms.
Another person said Volkswagen is also aware that a Chinese software partner could appeal to Chinese customers who favor local suppliers and are obsessed with stories of technological self-reliance.
Although its software is seen as lagging behind some local players in China, Volkswagen is one of the most aggressive of foreign car companies seeking change.
Last October 13, Horizon Robotics, one of the leading providers of computing solutions for smart vehicles in China, announced that Cariad would form a joint venture with it to accelerate its efforts to develop smart driving technology locally.
Volkswagen plans to invest about 2.4 billion euros for a 60 percent stake in the joint venture, which is expected to close in the first half of 2023, according to a statement from Horizon Robotics.
