Over 1,000 test vehicles reportedly accumulated more than 16 million kilometers under various conditions to ensure reliability. The company also emphasized the integration of user feedback and an experienced team in perfecting the chassis tuning.

The Aito M9 is a full-size SUV. The pure electric version offers a CLTC range of up to 750 kilometers, while the extended-range hybrid version boasts up to 1,405 kilometers. Its aerodynamic design features a drag coefficient as low as 0.249Cd, contributing to its efficiency and driving range.
