The AITO M5 (Chinese: 问界M5; pinyin: Wènjiè M5) is a compact luxury SUV produced by Seres under the AITO brand in collaboration with Huawei from 2022.[1] The model is the first product of HIMA and the AITO brand, and slots under the later AITO M7.[2] The M5 is available in two powertrain options, range extender electric (EREV) and battery electric (EV).
Since 2023, the M5 is included in the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), a multi-brand collaboration model with Huawei.
Overview
The AITO M5 was initially unveiled only as a range extended electric vehicle (EREV) in December 2021 based on the same platform as the Seres SF5. A battery-electric variant (BEV) was unveiled in September 2022.[3] The AITO M5 has a 10.4-inch dashboard display and a 15.6-inch screen on the center console, and is one of the first vehicles to ever utilize the Huawei HarmonyOS 3 infotainment system. The EREV version has two 40 W wireless chargers with active cooling, three 66 W wired, one 60 W wired and two 27 W Huawei MagLink magnetic chargers. All chargers can be used simultaneously.[4]
In March 2023, the AITO M5 was shortly rebranded as Huawei AITO M5 before Yu Chengdong, a Huawei executive issued that all promotional materials related to Huawei will be removed on April 1 from AITO stores.[5][6]

2025 Ultra refresh
The AITO announced the refreshed version of the M5 for 2025 called the Ultra on 1 March 2025 with pre-orders starting the same day, and launch later that month on 20 March with deliveries beginning on April 3.[7] The exterior receives two new paint colors, Phantom Purple and Zero-Degree White, and a new optional Obsidian visual package with black-painted wheels, badge, lower grille, and window trim.[8][9]
The interior features minor changes including the move to a column-mounted shifter allowing for a 14.4 L (0.51 cu ft) open storage space underneath the center console, and the front passenger seat gains a four-way adjustable legrest. The front cupholders are reconfigured to be side-by-side discrete units, the wireless charging pads have been upgraded to 50 W, and the USB-C charging outlet now outputs 100 W. The seat upholstery gains a new Red Tea Orange color option.[8][9]
Every variant of the M5 Ultra is equipped with Huawei's ADS 3.3 ADAS system as standard, with sensor upgrades including one new 192-line LiDAR and five 4-dimension mmWave radars. The system is capable of supervised autonomous driving in highway and urban environments, automatic emergency braking (AEB) in all directions, automatic emergency steering, and a remote control parking function. The braking system has been improved, with 81% smoother braking according to AITO.[8][9]
The powertrain hardware remains unchanged compared to the 2024 model, and the M5 Ultra is available in battery-electric and range extended rear-wheel drive, or range-extender exclusive all-wheel drive.[7][8]
Powertrain
The range extended version of the AITO M5 is equipped with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 92 kW (123 hp; 125 PS) as a range extender with a 56-litre (12 imp gal; 15 US gal) fuel tank. The combined fuel consumption of the AITO M5 is 1.1 L/100 km (90.9 km/L; 256.8 mpg‑imp; 213.8 mpg‑US) and 1.2 L/100 km (83.3 km/L; 235.4 mpg‑imp; 196.0 mpg‑US) for the 2WD and AWD models.[10] The AITO M5 has a 140-kilometre (87 mi) (NEDC) electric range from its 40 kWh battery. When paired with the range extender, which can produce 3.2 kWh/liter of petrol, the combined range is 1,000 kilometres (621 mi) (NEDC).[11]
The AITO M5 rear-wheel drive model uses a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor providing a peak power of 200 kW (268 hp; 272 PS) and 360 N⋅m (37 kg⋅m; 266 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 4WD model uses a rear motor with 150 kW (201 hp; 204 PS) of power and 300 N⋅m (31 kg⋅m; 221 lb⋅ft) of torque and a front induction asynchronous motor with a power of 165 kW (221 hp; 224 PS) and 420 N⋅m (43 kg⋅m; 310 lb⋅ft) of torque, giving the car a total peak output of 315 kW (422 hp; 428 PS) and 720 N⋅m (73 kg⋅m; 531 lb⋅ft) of torque allowing the vehicle to do a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration in 4.4 seconds.[11]
The battery-electric M5 EV single-motor variant uses a rear positioned motor with rear-wheel-drive and driving range under CLTC standards is 620 kilometres (385 mi). The four-wheel-drive dual motor driving range under CLTC is 552 kilometres (343 mi).
