Car ReviewsAITO M9: Packed with Huawei’s top 10 smart car black technologies
There was the Li L9, the best SUV within RMB 5 million, and the AITO M9, the best SUV within RMB 10 million. M9 is the third model launched by AITO. Since the M7 once again set off a craze, AITO has once again shined in the entire new energy vehicle circle.
AITO M9 is the first large SUV launched by AITO and is also the flagship model of the brand. AITO M9 is launched this time the pure electric version and range-extended version of the model; the two cars, in terms of appearance, are also relatively easy to distinguish: the pure electric version of the front surround is a diamond mesh style, the range-extended version is through the skeleton style.
Because AITO M9 is equipped with Huawei intelligent car technology, the whole car uses Huawei a variety of top technology, so it is known as the “black technology” M9. The next step will be a detailed description of what advanced technology is.
The new generation of Huawei Turing chassis
AITO M9 is equipped with Huawei’s leading-generation Toulin Intelligent Chassis, a high-performance all-aluminium alloy chassis with an integrated aluminium alloy die-cast frame. The suspension is adjusted 100 times per second, and even the bumpiest road will be like flat ground when driving over it. The front 4-ball head long double-wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, intelligent closed air suspension and CDC variable damping damper are equipped as standard.
The Turing chassis combines Huawei’s ADS 2.0 Intelligent Driving System with a full-scene intelligent road pre-scanning system, which, together with the adaptive active suspension, allows it to cope smoothly with different road conditions.
Megapixel Smart Projection Headlights
Up to 2.6 million pixels, dual-lamp fusion technology, accurate and no ghosting, can be made of black and white 100-inch giant screen projection, the far light can automatically identify the other side of the oncoming car drivers and pedestrians on the road to avoid the head. It can do precise masking, and the light does not disturb people.
There are three separate small lights inside the headlight section of the headlights. The innermost one is called the HUAWEI Xpixel, which can project and project light, the middle one is the high beam, and the outside one is the low beam. The matrix light underneath the three headlights inside it is said to have some digital display. For example, when you are charging, it can show you how long you have before you are fully charged, so you can interact with other cars for information and rationalise your time.
The rear matrix light can also be customised. You can choose the “Love Heart” pattern, the Chinese character “Xi,” and the Chinese lantern pattern, and you can also use it as a wedding car.
Full “screen” power
AITO M9 is equipped with seven entertainment screens, the most eye-catching being the front integrated triple screen, 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, 15.6-inch intelligent centre control screen, and 16-inch passenger entertainment screen. In addition, the first row and second row of each seat have entertainment screens, the most interesting is the second row of the AITO M9 car projection with lifting projection screen cloth to use, the screen size of about 32 inches, with 100% P3 colour gamut, and at the same time passed the Rheinland eye protection and comfort certification, Switzerland SGS anti-dizziness certification.

Car NewsWhich car company is the ultimate winner of MPVs in 2023?
Introduction of MPV
MPV (multi-purpose Vehicles), multi-purpose vehicles, is evolved from the touring car, which combines the wide passenger space of a station wagon, the comfort of a sedan, and the functions of a van in one, generally for the two-compartment structure, can sit 7-8 people.
Strictly speaking, MPV is a model mainly for family users, Wisdom Research Data Research Centre, with the changes in the family structure and the increase in fuel prices, MPV-type multi-purpose vehicles have become a new type of car family-style consumption. This increase in family-style consumption will greatly accelerate the MPV into the family car market, and family car purchase has become a new focus of the MPV market car purchase.
MPV expectations
New energy vehicles have set the whole MPV market on fire, of course, the hottest is still the middle and high-end MPV models, the main reason is that the new energy technology has solved the problem of MPV high-end, such as the power system, user experience and intelligent applications, etc., so the emergence of Denza D9, Voyah dreamer and Xpeng X9 and other outstanding models, and the main market in China’s first-tier and second-tier cities at present. Cities in China.
China’s MPV market reached a sales peak of 2.5 million units in 2016, but it is dominated by low- and mid-range passenger and business models in the A0 and A classes.
How much will the MPV market change in 2023?
Over the past few years, this market has continued to shrink to around 1 million units due to fuel vehicle technology upgrades and consumer upgrades. The large space advantage of MPVs is a very clear and well-defined user demand, but only due to the fact that there is not yet a good supply of technology and products.
Now look, electrification intelligent technology to redefine MPV, take the lead in the high-end new energy MPV market to achieve a breakthrough, will activate the entire MPV market, and not only in the middle and high-end market, maybe in the middle and lower end of the market will have more space for development and value.
We believe that MPVs at this stage will first break through the high-end and then move to the low-end market through technological affirmative action, which will bring the user’s demand for large space back to the third-tier and following cities.
The MPV market will enter into a phase of rapid development in 2023; in the past, impressions of MPV models were dull, giving people a common feeling but no desire to buy. But from 2023, MPV models injected with new energy technology after the appearance of the design have changed a lot.
Observed that the market in the middle and high-end new energy MPV, the overall design is obviously free from the shackles of fuel vehicles, in the appearance of the design above the change into a simple front face shape, such as Xpeng X9 mecha wind design, Zeekr 009 luxury front air grille.
Innovative design can undoubtedly inject more vitality and freshness into MPV models, which will naturally attract more attention. At the same time, the new energy MPV also pays close attention to the inherent functionality and technology. Li MEGA and Xpeng X9 are both equipped with the 800V super-charging platform, and even the high-end MPV model also adopts the integrated die-casting technology, which is only found in sedans and SUVs before.
MPV car sales in 2023
With the arrival of 2024, various car companies have released their 2023 final “report card.” 2023 MPV, in the first place, which car company?
Denza brand is also BYD’s pioneering model in laying out the mid-to-high-end MPV market, and the Denza D9 has shown a high degree of enthusiasm since it entered the market.
Denza Automotive’s December 2023 sales have been announced, and Denza D9 has emerged as the top seller in the domestic full-category MPV market in 2023, with cumulative sales of 119,182 units from January to December.
Next is the Xpeng X9, which was recently launched and also announced the order book as exceeding 30,000 units.
The third is the BUICK brand, with overall sales of 131,258 BUICK MPVs in 2023.
Another strong player in the MPV segment is the GAC Trumpchi, with sales of 164,159 GAC Trumpchi MPVs in 2023, a 59 per cent increase. To achieve such a result, GAC has naturally relied on the full force of a number of MPV models, including the Trumpchi M8, M6, E8 and E9.
What will be the MPV market trend in 2024?
The increasing popularity of new energy MPVs is a fact, as can be seen through the market results of hot-selling MPVs such as Denza D9, Buick GL8 and Trumpchi M8.
Judging from the market results of major models in the MPV market, it is estimated that the overall architecture of the MPV market will not change much in 2024. The bigger change is the model design; maybe it will be more sci-fi or smarter. But no matter what, the market play will not change, only the strength of the models in place to attract consumers.
Summary
2023 Autonomous new energy MPVs have been slowly invading the market share of traditional fuel MPVs, but fuel MPVs are still firmly dominant in the market thanks to years of cultivation.It is expected that all major car companies will learn from the market experience of these models and bring more hybrid MPVs in the future.
