The AITO M8 (Chinese: 问界M8; pinyin: Wènjiè M8) is a full-size luxury SUV manufactured by Seres under the AITO brand in collaboration with HIMA, Huawei's multi-brand automotive alliance. The M8 is available in two powertrains, range extender electric (EREV) and battery electric (EV).

History

The AITO M8 officially opened for reservations on 6 March 2025 and it was later officially launched on 16 April 2025.[1]

Design and equipment

The M8 is very similar in size to the more expensive AITO M9, only having a 40 mm (1.6 in) shorter length and 5 mm (0.20 in) shorter wheelbase and height. Like the M9, it is also available in two-row 5-seater and three-row 6-seater variants.[2]

The exterior has a similar overall design language to the M9. The front features a lower air intake grille, high-mounted headlights connected by a light bar element, and air vents at the corners serving as wheel well air curtains. The headlight surrounds have an illuminated star pattern, and the headlights are capable of projecting images onto the ground. The rear features a light bar design taillight element, which consists of an LED display array capable of displaying customizable designs.[2] The doors are power operated, and can be controlled by gestures from outside; the rear hatch has a kick-sensing opening feature.[3] It is available in six colors: Gilded Black, Warm Cloud White, Interstellar Blue, Meadow Green, Galaxy, and Dawn Light.[4]

The interior shares a similar layout to the M9, with an array of three displays integrated into the dashboard, supplemented by a 68-inch AR-HUD. The centre console contains two wireless charging pads, two cupholders, and a storage compartment. It is equipped with a 19-speaker sound system, featuring two speakers integrated into the driver's seat headrest. The back of the center console contains a refrigerator compartment and a control display for the rear seats and climate control zones. The rear seats have access to a 32-inch projector display, which can retract into a narrow 'floating window' mode to display passive information such as music, navigation and weather; it can also display a 100-inch outside the vehicle. In six-seater models, the passenger side second row seat has a 'zero-gravity' recline function, and the front passenger seat can fold forward to serve as a footrest if unoccupied; six-seater models have a 'quasi-zero gravity' seat instead, and the third row can recline between 25–33°.[2] The interior is available in four colors: Baisha Apricot, Red Tea Orange, Amber Brown, and Nebula Red.[4][3]

Six-seater models have 353 litres (12.5 cu ft) of rear cargo space, while five-seater models have 976 litres (34.5 cu ft). It can pass the moose test at 76.9 km/h (47.8 mph), and can brake from 100–0 km/h (62–0 mph) in 34.5 metres (113 ft).[3]

It is equipped with Huawei's ADS 3.0 ADAS system, with a sensor suite that includes one roof-mounted 192-line solid-state LiDAR sensor, seven mmWave radars of which five are 4D, 11 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. It is capable of supervised autonomous driving and collision avoidance.[4][5]

Powertrain

At launch, the M8 is a range extender electric and battery electric vehicle with all-wheel drive. It has a 1.5-litre turbocharged direct-injected petrol engine supplied by Seres producing 118 kW (158 hp; 160 PS).[6] It has a 165 kW (221 hp; 224 PS) front motor and a 227 kW (304 hp; 309 PS) rear motor, outputting a combined 392 kW (526 hp; 533 PS). Power is supplied by a choice of two CATL-supplied batteries, either a 36 kWh LFP pack providing a CLTC range rating of 201 kilometres (125 mi), or a 52 kWh NMC pack shared with the M9 providing 310 kilometres (193 mi) of range. It has a combined range of up to 1,526 kilometres (948 mi), a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 5.2 seconds, and a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).[6][7][8]
