History

The AITO M8 officially opened for reservations on March 6, 2025, and it was later officially launched on April 16, 2025.[1]

The M8 is very similar in size to the more expensive AITO M9, only having a 40. mm shorter length and 5. mm shorter wheelbase and height. Like the M9, it is also available in two-row 5-seater and three-row 6-seater variants.[2]

Design

The exterior has a similar overall design language to the M9. The front features a lower air intake grille, high-mounted headlights connected by a light bar element, and air vents at the corners serving as wheel well air curtains. The headlight surrounds have an illuminated star pattern, and the headlights are capable of projecting images onto the ground. The rear features a light bar design taillight element, which consists of an LED display array capable of displaying customizable designs.[2] The doors are power operated, and can be controlled by gestures from outside; the rear hatch has a kick-sensing opening feature.[3] It is available in six colors: Gilded Black, Warm Cloud White, Interstellar Blue, Meadow Green, Galaxy, and Dawn Light.[4]

Features

The interior shares a similar layout to the M9, with an array of three displays integrated into the dashboard, supplemented by a 68-inch AR-HUD. The centre console contains two wireless charging pads, two cupholders, and a storage compartment. It is equipped with a 19-speaker sound system, featuring two speakers integrated into the driver's seat headrest. The back of the center console contains a refrigerator compartment and a control display for the rear seats and climate control zones. The rear seats have access to a 32-inch projector display, which can retract into a narrow 'floating window' mode to display passive information such as music, navigation and weather; it can also display a 100-inch outside the vehicle. In six-seater models, the passenger side second row seat has a 'zero-gravity' recline function, and the front passenger seat can fold forward to serve as a footrest if unoccupied; six-seater models have a 'quasi-zero gravity' seat instead, and the third row can recline between 25–33°.[2] The interior is available in four colors: Baisha Apricot, Red Tea Orange, Amber Brown, and Nebula Red.[4][3]

Six-seater models have 353 L of rear cargo space, while five-seater models have 976 L. It can pass the moose test at 76.9 km/h, and can brake from 100-0 km/h in 34.5 m.[3]

It is equipped with Huawei's ADS 3.0 ADAS system, with a sensor suite that includes one roof-mounted 192-line solid-state LiDAR sensor, seven mmWave radars of which five are 4D, 11 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. It is capable of supervised autonomous driving and collision avoidance.[4]
