TLDR

  • AITO, a Chinese electric vehicle brand, showcased its full lineup at Auto China 2026, including the debut of the M6 and the first reveal of the M9.
  • The AITO M9 received over 11,500 pre-orders in an hour, while the M6 surpassed 10,000 orders in 15 minutes.
  • AITO debuted on the Brand Finance Global Automobile Brand Value 100 list with a brand value of $3.44 billion, ranking first among Chinese luxury auto brands.

At Auto China 2026, AITO, a brand synonymous with intelligent electric vehicles, has not only unveiled its complete product range but has also made a resounding statement about its position in the global luxury automotive market. The debut of the AITO M6 and the first-ever reveal of the all-new AITO M9, alongside the M8, M7, and M5, underscore AITO's commitment to innovation and user-centric design. The overwhelming response, with the M9 securing over 11,500 pre-orders within an hour and the M6 achieving 10,000 firm orders in just 15 minutes, speaks volumes about consumer confidence and the brand's appeal.

This success is further validated by AITO's debut on the Brand Finance Global Automobile Brand Value 100 list. Ranking first among Chinese luxury automobile brands and securing a spot in the global top 10, AITO's brand value of $3.44 billion is a testament to its rapid growth and strategic vision. Chairman of SERES AUTO, Zhang Zhengping, articulated this philosophy, stating, โ€œWe always start with our users, take that insight into R&D, and deliver it back to them โ€” so even a young personโ€™s first car can carry the safety assurance of a million-yuan vehicle.โ€ This user-first approach, coupled with the innovative MF Platform, which transforms vehicles into intelligent, evolving entities, positions AITO at the forefront of the automotive revolution.

From a Chinese perspective, AITO's achievements at Auto China 2026 are more than just commercial successes; they represent a significant leap forward in the nation's ambition to lead in cutting-edge automotive technology. While Western media often focuses on established global players, AITO's rapid ascent and its focus on intelligent, electric integration highlight a distinctively Chinese model of development โ€“ one that prioritizes technological advancement, rapid iteration, and deep integration of AI. The brand's adherence to its โ€œFive Highsโ€ philosophy (high safety, high reliability, high performance, high quality, and high value) resonates with a national pride in producing world-class products that challenge global norms. The sheer volume of pre-orders and the brand's impressive valuation signal a paradigm shift, demonstrating that Chinese automotive brands are not just competing but are setting new benchmarks in luxury and intelligence.

We always start with our users, take that insight into R&D, and deliver it back to them โ€” so even a young personโ€™s first car can carry the safety assurance of a million-yuan vehicle.
