AITO M9
Why this model
What makes the AITO M9 worth importing
Over 300,000 units delivered
China's best-selling full-size luxury SUV, outselling the BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE in its home market. That volume means mature production and real parts availability.
Already launched in the UAE
Sold there as the AITO 9 since February 2026, so a Gulf homologation route exists — unusual for a Chinese flagship and a genuine head start.
Satellite communications
Huawei's Xinghe satellite connectivity works where there is no mobile network at all. For buyers who drive in remote desert or mountain regions it is a substantive safety feature, not a gimmick.
1,474 km on the range-extender
290 km of electric range plus a generator. A full-size six-seat SUV that crosses a country without stopping, and drives as an electric car the whole time.

AITO M9 technical data
Manufacturer figures for the China-market car. Equipment and certification vary by trim, production batch and destination — we confirm the exact build sheet before the order is placed.

A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure for this version — we do not estimate it. Range standards differ: CLTC and NEDC read higher than WLTP for the same car, so compare like with like when quoting against a European rival.

About this model
Where the AITO M9 sits in the market
The M9 is AITO's flagship and the best-selling full-size luxury SUV in China, with more than 300,000 units delivered by mid-2026 — a figure that puts it ahead of the BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE in their own segment. It is 5,230 mm long on a 3,110 mm wheelbase, seating six, as a range-extender with up to 290 km of electric range and 1,474 km CLTC combined, or as a battery-electric car with 100 kWh and 630 km CLTC. The second generation from 2026 raises this to a 120 kWh Qilin pack and 664 kW.
Huawei's full technology stack is here: HarmonyOS, ADS up to version 5, and Xinghe satellite communications that function beyond mobile coverage. It launched in the UAE as the AITO 9 in February 2026, giving a Gulf homologation precedent. For an importer this is the most credible Chinese flagship SUV available — proven in volume, technologically distinctive, and with an export route already established in the region where it sells best.
Second generation from 2026 with batteries up to 120 kWh Qilin and outputs to 664 kW. Launched in the UAE in February 2026 as the AITO 9. Over 300,000 units delivered by July 2026.
Before you order
What an importer must know about the AITO M9
LHD; right-hand-drive availability is not documented. Launched in the UAE in February 2026 as the AITO 9 — that Gulf certification is the most useful precedent available for this model. Charging is GB/T on China-market cars. Two generations exist with materially different batteries and outputs (100 kWh and 390 kW versus 120 kWh Qilin and 664 kW), so we confirm the generation and model year on every quote. Satellite communications may be subject to local telecommunications regulation in some markets — worth checking, as it occasionally requires separate approval.
Market fit
Where the AITO M9 sells
Based on documented export presence and how the vehicle suits local conditions — not a guarantee of homologation, which we confirm per market before you order.

Officially launched in the UAE as the AITO 9, so certification precedent exists; full-size luxury SUV demand in the Gulf is the strongest in the world.
Central Asia
Flagship SUV buyers comparing against German imports, with 1,474 km range and satellite connectivity suiting remote driving.
Russia and the CIS
Seres has an established regional channel and the range-extender avoids winter range loss in a market that buys large SUVs.
Russia import process, duties and routes →Africa
Government, corporate and NGO executive transport where range and satellite communications have real operational value.
