AITO M5 is a mid size electric SUV developed by Seres with Huawei technology input. It sits in the premium compact to mid size SUV segment with a five door crossover body.

The AITO M5 is sold as a pure battery EV and as a range extended EV. The BEV version uses a large lithium battery with a real world range suited for daily urban and highway use. The range extended version pairs a smaller battery with a petrol generator to push total driving range far beyond typical BEVs. DC fast charging supports quick top ups, while AC charging fits home and workplace use.

Pricing places the AITO M5 above mass market Chinese SUVs and below luxury European EVs. It suits buyers who want strong tech features, smooth ride quality, and flexible range options. Alternatives include Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion. A direct comparison often points to the Tesla Model Y due to similar size and performance focus.
