The 2026 AITO M6 is a five-seat, 4,960 mm mid-size SUV in the Huawei-backed AITO (Wenjie) family, built by Seres under the HIMA alliance. It went on sale in China on 22 April 2026 and now spans eight trims from about $34,300 (¥229,800) to about $44,700 (¥299,800), in two flavors: a range-extender (EREV) rated at up to 1,605 km combined on the CLTC cycle, and an 800V pure-electric BEV rated at up to 760 km CLTC. Power tops out at 463 hp in the dual-motor EREV. The Max+ and Ultra trims carry Huawei's 896-line LiDAR, Qiankun ADS 4.1 assisted driving and air suspension, while the cheaper Max trims make do with a single in-cabin LiDAR and conventional dampers. Every version gets a HarmonyOS 5 cockpit built around a 16.1-inch rotating screen. USD figures in this article are converted at about 6.70 yuan per dollar.
Performance & Specs
The M6 comes with two powertrains and three motor layouts. The EREV pairs a 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder generator (about 112 kW, it never drives the wheels directly) with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system — a 165 kW front and a 180 kW rear motor — for 345 kW (463 hp) and a 0–100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds in the Max, Max+ and Ultra trims. The EREV Max+ Long Range instead uses a single 227 kW (304 hp) rear motor with 320 N·m and takes 7.8 seconds. The BEV runs on an 800V platform: the Max, Max+ and Max+ Long Range are rear-drive with 227 kW (304 hp), 320 N·m and 7.3–7.5 seconds to 100 km/h, while the BEV Ultra adds a front motor for 340 kW (456 hp) and 5.2 seconds. Top speed is 200 km/h across the range, and the manufacturer quotes fuel consumption as low as 5.9 L/100 km for the EREV. Curb weight runs from about 2,395 kg to 2,565 kg depending on the trim.

At 4,960 mm long on a 2,950 mm wheelbase, the M6 is a roomy five-seat mid-size SUV, 1,985 mm wide and 1,736 mm tall. Boot space is 860–2,114 litres in the EREV and 882–2,136 litres in the BEV, and the electric versions add a powered 202-litre front trunk (140 litres on the dual-motor BEV Ultra); the EREV has no front trunk. Wheels are 20-inch (255/50 R20) as standard, with optional 21-inch wheels (265/45 R21). The cabin follows Huawei's minimalist playbook, with a panoramic double-layer glass roof and an optional 7.3-litre hot-and-cold fridge. The air-suspension trims can raise or lower the body by ±40 mm.

Charging & Battery
The BEV is the technical highlight, built on an 800V architecture with a choice of an 81 kWh LFP pack (602 km CLTC in the Max, 630 km in the Max+) or a 100 kWh NMC pack (760 km in the Max+ Long Range, 705 km in the Ultra). The official specification sheet quotes a 30–80% fast charge in 15 minutes, measured on a roughly 600 kW, 1,000V charger under standard conditions. The EREV trims use 400V packs — 37 kWh LFP (235 km CLTC electric range) or 53.4 kWh NMC (355 km) — topped up by the generator and a 60-litre tank for 1,445 km or 1,605 km combined (CLTC). On the stricter WLTC cycle the official sheet lists up to 1,425 km combined. The quoted CLTC figures assume the optional 21-inch aerodynamic wheels and none of the weight-adding options such as the powered running board or rear-seat screen; other configurations rate a little lower, for example 715 km instead of 760 km for the BEV Max+ Long Range. Most EREV owners will treat the car as an EV day to day and use the engine for long trips.

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. An optional black sport pack adds gloss-black 21-inch wheels and red four-piston front calipers for a more athletic look, as on the blue car in our photos. Inside, it follows the Huawei playbook: a minimalist, screen-led dashboard with soft-touch materials, a panoramic glass roof with a powered sunshade, and ambient lighting. All eight trims have heated and ventilated front and outer rear seats, front-row massage, two 50 W wireless charging pads and a 26.1-inch head-up display, while 16-way power seats with a driver zero-gravity mode are standard on the Ultra, Long Range and EREV Max+ trims and optional on the BEV Max, BEV Max+ and EREV Max. The 16.1-inch rotating central screen dominates the cabin, next to an 8.88-inch driver display, and the whole interior feels calm, spacious and genuinely premium for the price.
Technology & ADAS
Technology is the M6's reason for being. Huawei's Qiankun ADS 4.1 assisted-driving system is fitted across the range, in a higher-tier package on the Max+ and Ultra trims that adds an 896-line dual-path LiDAR, a rear-facing solid-state LiDAR and five 4D millimetre-wave radars; the Max trims use one in-cabin LiDAR and three radars. Every trim has 12 ultrasonic sensors and 11 cameras (two forward, one rear, four side and four surround). Advanced functions such as urban navigation-assisted driving and park-to-park pilot are sold as separate software packs after delivery. Inside, the 16.1-inch rotating touchscreen runs HarmonyOS 5 with deep Huawei-phone integration and a Huawei Sound audio system, reviewed at 19 speakers. Getting this level of smart-driving and cockpit technology from about $34,300 is exactly what makes the M6 so appealing.

Torque for the all-wheel-drive versions is the sum of the front and rear motor peaks (243 + 235 N·m for the EREV, 277 + 235 N·m for the BEV Ultra). Ranges are CLTC figures with the 21-inch aerodynamic wheels; 0–100 km/h times are the manufacturer's.
Pricing & Availability
The AITO M6 went on sale in China on 22 April 2026 after a pre-sale that began on 23 March, with four launch trims priced at ¥259,800–299,800 (about $38,800–44,700). AITO then widened the range: on 16 June it added the BEV Max (¥229,800, about $34,300) and BEV Max+ (¥249,800, about $37,300) on an 81 kWh LFP battery, and on 20 August the EREV Max four-wheel-drive (¥239,800, about $35,800) and the EREV Max+ Long Range (¥259,800, about $38,800). The eight-trim lineup now runs from ¥229,800 to ¥299,800 (about $34,300 to $44,700). Deliveries passed 30,000 in the first 54 days and 50,000 by 7 September 2026. It is a China-market car built by Seres under the Huawei HIMA alliance; as of September 2026 no export launch of the M6 has been announced, and no European or North American launch is confirmed. USD prices are converted at about 6.70 yuan per dollar.
How It Compares
The M6's closest EREV rival is the Li Auto L6, now a single-trim ¥249,800 model with a 51 kWh battery and 402 hp. The entry EREV Max costs ¥10,000 (about $1,500) less and offers more power (463 hp against 402 hp) and a longer combined CLTC range (1,445 km against 1,250 km), but a smaller battery (37 kWh against 51 kWh) and less electric range (235 km against 300 km). The Li Auto i6 is the pure-electric alternative: its 87.3 kWh pack gives 720 km (rear-drive, 335 hp) or 660 km (AWD, 536 hp) CLTC from ¥249,800, against 602–760 km for the M6 BEVs at ¥229,800–299,800. The Xiaomi YU7 Standard costs ¥233,500 (about $34,900) for 315 hp and 643 km CLTC, which puts it in the same price bracket as the M6 BEV Max (¥229,800, 304 hp, 602 km). The M6's mix of Huawei's driver assistance, two powertrains and an entry price of about $34,300 makes it one of the strongest tech-per-dollar plays in the mid-size SUV class.
- Eight trims from about $34,300, with both EREV and 800V BEV options
- EREV rated up to 1,605 km CLTC; BEV up to 760 km CLTC
- Up to 463 hp AWD and 5.2 s from 0 to 100 km/h
- Max+ and Ultra add an 896-line LiDAR and air suspension, with a HarmonyOS 5 cabin throughout
- The cheaper Max trims lose the 896-line LiDAR and the air suspension
- Headline CLTC ranges assume the optional 21-inch aerodynamic wheels
- China-only for now; no export launch has been announced
- Rear-drive versions need 7.3–7.8 s to 100 km/h, well behind the 5.2 s AWD trims
The AITO M6 takes the Huawei smart-car formula that made the M7, M8 and M9 so successful and packages it into a smaller, cheaper mid-size SUV — and with eight trims from about $34,300 to $44,700 it now covers a wide range of budgets. The dual-motor range-extender delivers 463 hp, 5.2 seconds to 100 km/h and up to 1,605 km of CLTC range, while the 800V BEV offers up to 760 km. The sweet spot is the Max+ and Ultra tier, which brings the 896-line LiDAR, air suspension and Huawei's higher-tier driver assistance; the Max trims are cheaper but trim the tech back. It is China-only for now, but for buyers who want Huawei's driver assistance and HarmonyOS ecosystem, the M6 is one of the most affordable ways in.
