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.

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.

The first deliveries of the Huawei Aito M9 are expected in early 2024.

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.
