The Aito M6 is a mid-size five-seat SUV produced by Seres Group and developed under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), a partnership between Seres and Huawei. It sits in the middle of the AITO lineup, priced above the M5 and below the M7, and targets the CNY 250,000–300,000 family SUV bracket that accounts for the bulk of China’s premium NEV volume. The M6 is available in both battery-electric (BEV) and extended-range electric (EREV) configurations, with drivetrain options spanning rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and EREV-specific AWD. Its arrival completes AITO’s five-model SUV matrix, from M5 through M9, and it launches with Huawei’s 896-line imaging-grade LiDAR standard across all trims.
The BEV variant uses a 100 kWh CATL NMC battery pack on an 800-volt platform. Usable capacity has not been officially published. Seres quotes CLTC range of 760 km for the single-motor RWD and 665 km for the AWD; no WLTP or EPA figures are available, and CLTC numbers typically run 20–30% above real-world results. DC fast charging peaks at 290 kW, with a 10–80% charge taking roughly 20 minutes. The onboard AC charger is rated at 11 kW, putting a full charge from flat at around 8.5 hours on a standard three-phase connection. The EREV versions use smaller 37 kWh or 53.4 kWh packs paired with a 1.5-litre turbocharged range extender rated at 112 kW; combined CLTC range is quoted above 1,300 km, though that figure carries the same CLTC caveats. ⚠️ Peak DC charging rates for EREV trims have not been confirmed separately.
Pre-sales opened on March 23, 2026 in China, with pricing starting at CNY 259,800 (approximately $38,400 USD) for the EREV and CNY 289,800 (approximately $42,900 USD) for the entry BEV. The top trim approaches CNY 300,000 (~$44,300 USD). For African buyers sourcing through grey-market channels, a rough conversion puts the BEV in the range of ₦68.6M–₦70.9M NGN, KES 5.6M–5.8M, or ZAR 772,000–797,000 — before shipping, port charges, and importer margins, which typically add 20–25% on top. The M6 is not officially sold outside China; no right-hand-drive export timeline has been announced. The buyer profile is primarily urban families in the Chinese market who want a five-seat mid-size SUV with advanced driver assistance and a large screen-centric cabin, without stepping up to the larger and more expensive M7. Within the AITO range, it competes internally with the M5 below and the M7 above. External rivals in the same price and segment bracket include the Tesla Model Y and the Li Auto L6. The closest direct comparison on specs and price is the Tesla Model Y, which occupies the same CNY 250,000–300,000 window in China with comparable dimensions and range claims.
