Overview
AITO M5 was initially unveiled only as a range extended electric vehicle in December 2021 based on the same platform as the Seres SF5. However, a pure electric variant was unveiled in September 2022.[5] The Aito M5 has a 10.4-inch dashboard display and a 15.6-inch screen on the center console, and is one of the first vehicles to ever utilize the Huawei Harmony OS 3 infotainment system. The PHEV version has two 40w wireless charger with dual fan cooling, three 66w wired, one 60w wired and two 27w Huawei MagLink magnetic charger. All chargers can be used simultaneously.[6]
The range extended version of the AITO M5 is equipped with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 92 kW (123 hp; 125 PS) as the range extender with a 56-litre (12 imp gal; 15 US gal) fuel tank. The combined fuel consumption of the Aito M5 is 1.1 L/100 km (90.9 km/L; 256.8 mpg‑imp; 213.8 mpg‑US) and 1.2 L/100 km (83.3 km/L; 235.4 mpg‑imp; 196.0 mpg‑US) for the 2WD and AWD models.[7] The Aito M5 can drive a 140 km (NEDC) pure electric range on the 40kWh battery. When paired with the range extender, which can produce 3.2kWh/liter, the combined range is 1000 km (NEDC).[8]
The AITO M5 rear wheel drive model uses a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor providing a peak power of 200 kW and 360Nm of torque. The 4WD model uses a rear motor with 150 kW (201 hp; 204 PS) of power and 300 N⋅m (31 kg⋅m; 221 lb⋅ft) of torque and a front induction asynchronous motor with a power of 165 kW (221 hp; 224 PS) and 420 N⋅m (43 kg⋅m; 310 lb⋅ft) of torque, giving the car a total peak output of 315 kW (422 hp; 428 PS) and 720 N⋅m (73 kg⋅m; 531 lb⋅ft) of torque allowing the vehicle to do a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration in 4.4 seconds.[8]
