Since its release on April 23, 2024, the AITO Wenjie New M5 immediately became a hot product in the automotive industry. Thanks to the manufacturing capabilities of the Sailes Automotive Industry 4.0 standard smart factory, less than a month after the new car was released, on May 15, the AITO Wenjie New M5 was officially delivered nationwide. As of now, the AITO Wenjie M5 series has gained the trust of over 130,000 car owners, performing excellently among new forces. So what kind of product is it that can be favored by consumers in such a competitive market for new energy mid-size SUVs? We decided to visit the store to find out. The model we visited this time is the AITO Wenjie New M5 Pure Electric Max Rear-Wheel Drive Advanced Intelligent Driving Edition.
It’s not hard to guess, this “Metropolitan Red” is the most eye-catching in the entire exhibition hall, even when the sun is shining brightly at noon, it can still “lock” the eyes through the glass curtain wall of the exhibition hall towards it. The front face adopts a simple enclosed shape, presenting a very natural sense of technology and movement.
A laser radar on the roof proves this car has impressive smart driving abilities. Familiar with AITO products, you know how excellent its smart driving performance is.
The headlight unit features an integrated design, with distinctive daytime running lights and clear high and low beam lights. The side air intake not only improves aerodynamics but also enhances visual appeal, combining functionality and aesthetics.
The lower active cooling grille improves the new car’s heat management and visually resembles a sports car.
The car’s side lines are dynamic and smooth, with a coupe-like stance that is pleasing to most people. The AITO Wanjie New M5 measures 4770mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 1625mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2880mm, making it a very standard and sporty midsize SUV.
The high-definition camera components on both sides of the wing panels are accented with silver and light blue, further highlighting the intelligent driving capabilities.
The hidden door handle features a prominent “AITO” logo on the inside, which is unique.
The hub does not use a closed low-drag design, but instead opts for a sleek double five-spoke design, creating a sporty feel comparable to traditional German luxury brands. The tires are from the high-end P-ZERO series by Pirelli, with excellent sport performance, and the red calipers inside are also popular among young people.
The waistline slightly rises after passing the C-pillar, outlining distinct muscle lines, echoing the small spoiler above, and highlighting the overall sporty stance of the vehicle.
The rear design of the car is rounded and full, with a large upward bottom surround that makes the overall look more coordinated.
The continuous taillights extend to the sides of the car and bend down to the rear, making them highly recognizable when lit up at night.
The “EV” exclusive logo on the bottom right of the tailgate once again highlights the model’s identity.
The interior remains familiar with AITO’s design, creating an intelligent and comfortable atmosphere. Materials such as wood grain, leather, high-gloss metal, and crystal are used to create a sense of sophistication.
The interior is bold and aggressive in red, with sporty seats that provide ample side and head support, enhancing the driving experience. The seats are upgraded to AITO Wanjie M9 seats with 10 layers of comfort layers, increasing cushion support by 14.3% and softness by 14.9%, making comfort a priority.
In the entire interior, the most eye-catching feature is the “star ring diffuser” high-pitched horn on the center console, which can flash in conjunction with ambient lights, voice assistants, and music apps, integrating light and shadow aesthetics, acoustic technology, and AI intelligence. In addition, the vehicle has a total of 19 HUAWEI SOUND sound units, supporting up to 1000W of power amplification.
In terms of car connectivity, it goes without saying that the screen clarity, smoothness, app richness, driver connectivity, and home connectivity are all leading the way.
The camera on the driver’s side A-pillar is highly visible, providing monitoring services for the driver and enhancing driving safety.
The steering wheel has a simple design and is easy to judge if it is centered. The buttons on both sides are not all touch-sensitive. The purpose of the various designs on the new AITO Inext M5 is to make interaction more convenient.
The central air conditioner vents are located low, with gentle airflow, complementing vents on both sides.
Wireless charging has always been a strong suit of the AITO family, with the new car adopting dual 50W fast wireless charging. The high-end faux suede material ensures that the phone does not shake during intense driving, and the efficient air cooling system prevents overheating during the charging process.
The crystal gearshift of the diamond yacht complements the high-frequency horn above, with 50 precise cutting processes significantly enhancing the interior delicacy.
The armrest box opens on both sides for easy access to items. It is suitable for storing small items such as the driver’s license.
On both sides, there are hidden storage compartments for storing small items that are not often used, equipped with charging ports for users who are accustomed to wired charging.
The accelerator pedal, with its floor-style design, is often seen as a symbol of sportiness or luxury. Its movement feedback matches ankle action, ensuring precise acceleration and preventing ankle fatigue.
The rear legroom is ample, matching the performance of the 2880mm wheelbase. The leg support is in place, and the large backrest angle provides added comfort for long-distance rides.
The rear center armrest integrates cup holders and storage box, considering the sporty wrap-around design of the side seats, seating four is ideal.
As mentioned above, the interior is very particular in the choice of materials, with wood grain, ambient lighting, leather, and red stitching extending from the front to the rear seats, giving the rear passengers a taste of luxury cars.
The HUAWEI MagLink® car interface allows for seamless connection between multiple devices, enabling instant pairing with the front car system for the pad.
The rear air vent design echoes the front, emphasizing functionality over flashy aesthetics.
When it comes to charging, AITO’s competitors are no match. The rear also has two Type-C charging ports, with the right port supporting 66W fast charging.
Despite its sleek design, the AITO Wanjie New M5 still has a spacious trunk thanks to the optimized rear seat back angle.
Summary: From this static experience, AITO’s new M5 is clearly aiming to set a benchmark in terms of overall design, details, and hardware. In the 2022 and 2023 Passenger Vehicle New Car Quality Reports, AITO’s new M5 has once again topped the list of Chinese new energy brand new car quality rankings, solidifying its position as a trustworthy choice. As mentioned at the press conference, “fresh clothes and angry horses, not disappointing the prime.” Looking at the product strength of AITO’s new M5, this phrase is not an exaggeration.
