Huawei’s automotive arm, through the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, has revealed official images of the Aito M6, a new mid-size SUV set to launch in China during the second quarter of 2026. The vehicle is strategically priced around 250,000 yuan (approximately $36,000 USD), filling a key gap in Huawei’s expanding Aito SUV lineup.
Positioning Within the Aito Range
The Aito M6 slots between the existing Aito M5 (starting at $33,100 USD) and the larger M7 (starting at $40,300 USD). This positioning is crucial in a highly competitive Chinese market, where automakers are aggressively targeting the family SUV segment. Huawei already offers the M5, M7, M8, and M9, with the M6 designed to broaden the appeal of the Aito brand to a wider range of buyers.
Design and Exterior Features
The M6’s exterior design aligns with the established Aito aesthetic, featuring a closed front grille and sleek, elongated headlamp units. Vertical air channels flank the headlamps, while a three-section lower air intake enhances the vehicle’s aggressive stance.
Side profile details include semi-hidden door handles and striking dual five-spoke alloy wheels with red brake calipers. The rear of the vehicle is expected to incorporate a full-width taillight assembly and a roof-mounted spoiler, with black lower-body cladding providing a contrasting visual element.
Technology and Powertrain Options
The Aito M6 will be available in both range-extended electric (REEV) and fully battery-electric (BEV) configurations. Key to the vehicle’s appeal is the integration of Huawei’s latest technology: HarmonyOS Cockpit 5 for the in-vehicle software experience, and the Qiankun intelligent driving system with ADS 4 for advanced driver-assistance features.
This combination of hardware and software aims to deliver a seamless and cutting-edge automotive experience, leveraging Huawei’s expertise in connectivity and artificial intelligence.
The Aito M6’s launch is a significant step in Huawei’s broader strategy to become a major player in the new-energy vehicle (NEV) market, offering consumers a compelling alternative to established domestic and international brands. Its mid-range pricing and feature-rich design will likely make it a popular choice among Chinese families.
