At the 2025 Manila International Auto Show, a new name in intelligent luxury made waves: AITO, or “Adding Intelligence to Auto.” At the forefront of its showcase was the AITO M9, a flagship SUV that represents a new generation of intelligent New Energy Vehicles (NEVs)—where cutting-edge design, performance, and safety converge in a seamless blend of elegance and innovation.
A Design Philosophy Inspired by the Skyline
The M9 is visually stunning. Its streamlined two-tone body reflects the philosophy of “The Duality in Nature”—a concept born from its collaboration with top international designers. Its upper profile directs the eye to its elegant interior, while the lower body reinforces its grounded stance and tech-forward functionality. Measuring 5,230mm long with a 3,110mm wheelbase, the M9 glides effortlessly with ultra-low wind resistance (0.279Cd), Galaxy-inspired headlights, and Starlight tail lamps that complete its futuristic silhouette.
Performance Without Compromise
The AITO M9’s smart dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) system delivers a punch—365kW of power and 675Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. While its 52kWh battery offers over 200 kilometers of pure electric driving, the onboard Range Extender Electric Vehicle (REEV) generator adds an impressive 1,000km of range, bringing the total to over 1,200km. With quick refueling and efficient energy conversion, range anxiety becomes a thing of the past.
First-Class Comfort and Smart Luxury
Step inside and you’re greeted by an interior designed to rival a five-star lounge. Zero Gravity seats, a dual-mode refrigerator, and adaptive dual armrests are just the beginning. Add to that crystal knobs, genuine leather seating, white ash wood trim, and a panoramic sunroof, and you get a sensory experience that’s both indulgent and intuitive.
Entertainment is delivered through a 25-speaker premium audio system, while ambient lighting with 16.8 million color options ensures each drive is tailored to mood and moment.
Intelligent Cockpit, Intuitive Control
The AITO M9 connects drivers to a seamless digital cockpit—featuring synchronized instrument cluster, central, and passenger displays. With Million-Pixel Intelligent Headlights, AI-driven power management, and intuitive controls, the driving experience is elevated to one of quiet command and ease.
Safety Engineered to Perfection
Safety is non-negotiable in the M9. Featuring a “super” five-star C-NCAP safety rating, 9 airbags, and a robust body structure, it delivers best-in-class protection. It also comes equipped with 20 active safety features, including advanced crash prevention and occupant monitoring systems, making it the highest-scoring vehicle in C-NCAP history.
