Huawei designed and is driving the marketing of the M7 while Seres manufactures it. The new Huawei-backed SUV was unveiled by Richard Yu, Huawei’s MD and CEO. The Aito M7 comes in three versions starting at around RMB 320k ($47,765). The most expensive model with a longer range is priced at RMB 379,800 ($56,727). The rear-wheel-drive version of the EV has a 1.5T range extender with up to 90W power and a 200kW electric motor. The four-wheel-drive model adds a 130kW front motor for greater traction. The four-wheel-drive model can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds.

The rear-wheel-drive version’s battery offers a range of 195km compared to the 165km of the four-wheel-drive model. Overall, the rear-wheel model has a range of 1,220km on full fuel and full charge. On the other hand, the four-wheel-drive M7 model delivers an overall range of 1,100km. The smart cockpit of the new SUV runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS for a great driving experience. Huawei says that users can access their smartphone apps directly from the cockpit’s center screen. Six exterior and four interior color combinations are available for the new Huawei-Seres Aito model. The partnership is barely a year old but continues to blossom.

The first deliveries of the Aito M7 are expected by early August. Reservation is open currently while test drives will start on July 23. There are no indications yet whether the new SUV will be subsequently available in other markets.
