The AITO M6 is the newest, most accessible model in the Huawei-backed AITO (Wenjie) family — a mid-size SUV built by Seres that brings the brand's flagship tech down to a sharper price. Launched in China in April 2026, it's offered as a range-extender (EREV) good for up to 1,400 km combined, or a pure-electric BEV on an 800V platform with up to 760 km of range. Every version gets Huawei's Qiankun ADS 4.1 assisted driving with a standard 896-line LiDAR, a HarmonyOS 5 cockpit and up to 489 hp of dual-motor all-wheel drive, from around $38,700. It's essentially a smaller, cheaper way into Huawei's premium smart-car ecosystem.
Performance & Specs
The M6 comes in two powertrains. The EREV pairs a 1.5-litre turbo generator (which only makes electricity) with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 365 kW (489 hp), for a 0–100 km/h of about 4.5 seconds; its 37 or 53.4 kWh LFP battery gives 180–272 km of electric range and up to 1,400 km combined, using as little as 4.2 L/100 km. The BEV runs an 800V architecture with a 100 kWh NMC battery for up to 760 km, in rear-drive 227 kW (304 hp) or all-wheel-drive 340 kW (462 hp) form. Both are quick, refined and quiet, with the effortless, torque-rich delivery that has made this class of Huawei-powered SUV so popular in China. The all-wheel-drive versions add strong all-weather traction and genuinely rapid acceleration, though as with its siblings the M6 is tuned for smooth, comfortable progress rather than outright sportiness.

At 4,960 mm long on a 2,950 mm wheelbase, the M6 is a spacious five-seat mid-size SUV, closely related to the popular AITO M5 but a little larger and more affordable. A slippery 0.239 drag coefficient helps efficiency, and there's a 550-litre boot that expands to 1,500 litres with the seats folded. The cabin is plush and minimalist in typical Huawei style, with soft materials, a panoramic roof and a floating central screen, and the sporty AITO M6 shown here rides on 21-inch wheels with red brake calipers. Kerb weight ranges from about 2,395 to 2,565 kg depending on powertrain. It's a genuinely premium-feeling family SUV that undercuts its bigger AITO siblings.

Charging & Battery
The pure-electric M6 is the technical highlight, using a 100 kWh NMC battery on an 800V architecture. Huawei quotes fast charging that adds around 200 km in five minutes and takes the pack from 10–80% in roughly 15 minutes. The EREV models carry much smaller LFP batteries — 37 kWh or 53.4 kWh for 180 or 272 km of electric range — topped up by the 1.5-litre generator and a 60-litre tank for that 1,400 km combined figure at about 4.2 L/100 km. As with all AITO/Huawei cars, most EREV owners will run it as an EV day to day and rarely burn fuel, using the range-extender only for longer trips. It's a flexible pair of powertrains that suits both home-charging owners and long-distance drivers.

Design & Interior
The M6 wears AITO's clean, aerodynamic family design, with a full-width connected LED tail-light bar, flush surfacing and a coupe-influenced roofline — handsome and modern, if not radical. In sportier trims like the blue car shown, it adds gloss-black 21-inch wheels and red brake calipers for a more athletic look. Inside, it follows the Huawei playbook: a minimalist, screen-led dashboard with soft-touch materials, a panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting and comfortable, well-bolstered seats. The 16.1-inch rotatable central screen dominates, and the whole cabin feels calm, spacious and genuinely premium for the price — a big part of why AITO's SUVs have resonated so strongly with Chinese buyers. It's a thoroughly modern interior that leans on Huawei's software polish rather than flashy gimmicks.
Technology & ADAS
Technology is the M6's whole reason for being. Every version comes with Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.1 as standard, built around a 896-line dual-path LiDAR for advanced city and highway navigation-assisted driving and automated parking — the same generation of hardware found in far pricier Huawei-powered cars. Inside, a 16.1-inch rotatable central touchscreen runs HarmonyOS 5, with slick, phone-like responsiveness, deep Huawei-device integration and a 19-speaker Huawei Sound system. Getting this level of smart-driving and cockpit tech in the most affordable AITO yet is exactly what makes the M6 so appealing.

Pricing & Availability
The AITO M6 launched in China on 22 April 2026, priced from roughly ¥259,800 to ¥299,800 (about $38,700 to $42,500) across its EREV and BEV trims, after a pre-sale that opened in March. It sold strongly out of the gate — 30,000 units in its first 54 days. It's a China-market car built by Seres under the Huawei HIMA alliance, with right-hand-drive export markets said to follow later; no European or North American launch has been confirmed. For buyers who want Huawei's flagship LiDAR ADAS and HarmonyOS cabin without paying M8 or M9 money, the M6 is the value entry point.
How It Compares
The M6's arch-rival is the Li Auto L6, the best-selling car in this EREV class; the Li is a touch cheaper and hugely popular, but the AITO counters with Huawei's LiDAR-based ADS 4.1 (widely rated among the best in China) and HarmonyOS. Its own sibling, the AITO M5, is smaller and cheaper, while the Li Auto i6 is a pure-electric alternative. The M6's mix of Huawei's top-tier assisted driving, dual powertrains and a sub-$39,000 entry makes it one of the strongest tech-per-dollar plays in the mid-size SUV class.
- Standard Huawei ADS 4.1 with 896-line LiDAR
- Choice of 1,400 km EREV or 760 km 800V BEV
- Up to 489 hp AWD; 0–100 in ~4.5 s
- HarmonyOS 5 cabin and 19-speaker audio, from ~$38,700
- Pricier than the popular Li Auto L6
- China-only for now (RHD export "later")
- Marketed "496 hp" is really ~489 hp (365 kW)
- Some EREV figures (0–100, torque) are single-sourced
The AITO M6 does something clever: it takes the Huawei smart-car experience that made the M7, M8 and M9 so successful and packages it into a smaller, cheaper mid-size SUV. Standard Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.1 with an 896-line LiDAR — among the best assisted-driving systems in China — plus a HarmonyOS 5 cockpit, up to 489 hp of AWD, and a choice of a 1,400 km range-extender or a 760 km 800V electric version, all from around $38,700, is a seriously compelling package. It costs a little more than the class-leading Li Auto L6, and it's China-only for now, but if Huawei's driver-assist and ecosystem are what you're after, the M6 is the most affordable way to get them.
