The future of intelligent luxury SUVs arrived at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) as AITO, a groundbreaking brand focused on “Adding Intelligence to Auto,” officially launched in the Philippines with its flagship model – the AITO M9 – serving as their center attraction. Making its highly anticipated debut last April 10th, the AITO M9 promises to redefine the standards for luxury, technology, and safety in the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) segment.
The AITO M9 immediately captivated attendees at MIAS with its striking design, blending purity and innovation. Its streamlined two-tone body, inspired by a skyline, features a low drag coefficient of 0.279 Cd and is accentuated by dynamic Galaxy headlights and Starlight taillights. With generous dimensions (5230mm x 1999mm x 1800mm) and a long wheelbase (3110mm), the M9 offers both city maneuverability and a smooth, stable ride.
Performance is a key highlight, with the AITO M9 boasting a smart dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) system producing 365 kW and 675 Nm of torque, enabling a swift 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 4.9 seconds. Its 52 kWh battery provides over 200 kilometers of pure electric range. Addressing range concerns, the intelligent Range Extender platform (REEV) offers an onboard generator, effectively extending the total range to over 1,200 km with a quick 5-minute fuel tank refill.
Inside, the AITO M9 redefines luxury with a spacious cabin featuring flexible seating, Zero Gravity seats, and an industry-first adaptive dual armrest. Premium materials like white ash wood trim, crystal knobs, and genuine leather create an opulent environment, further enhanced by a 25-speaker sound system and a panoramic sunroof. Intelligent storage, a dual-mode refrigerator, and ambient lighting contribute to a personalized driving experience.
