Recently, I ventured into Munich and witnessed three new car launches by AITO, the high-end intelligent electric vehicle brand under SERES. The brand chose IAA Mobility 2025 for its first international showcase, debuting globalised versions of its three core SUVs — the AITO 9, AITO 7, and AITO 5.
At the top of the range, the AITO 9 took centre stage as the brand’s all-scenario intelligent flagship. The five-seater version displayed in Munich blended sleek design with cutting-edge range-extender technology. With a combined driving range of up to 1,305 kilometres and 228 kilometres on pure electric power, the SUV promises long-distance comfort and efficiency. Inside, the second row transforms into a home theatre with a reclining seat set-up and a 32-inch screen, while safety credentials are underscored by the use of submarine-grade steels and record-breaking crash test results.
The AITO 7 brings the same blend of intelligence and power into a family-focused package. Shown as a six-seater, it offers a roomy and versatile cabin, reclining rear seats with legrests, and built-in digital conveniences such as an integrated tablet and optional work table. With this balance of space, performance and comfort, the AITO 7 positions itself squarely at families seeking both practicality and luxury.
Completing the trio was the AITO 5, the most dynamic of the lineup. This mid-size SUV is engineered for performance, with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. A 100% aluminium-alloy chassis paired with a double-wishbone and multi-link suspension ensures agility and stability. With a WLTP range of up to 1,130 kilometres, first-class seating with massage functions, ambient lighting, and a panoramic roof, it blends spirited driving with everyday luxury.
The three vehicles displayed in Munich will spearhead AITO’s globalisation strategy, with regional adaptations that include Arabic language support in the intelligent cockpit, upgraded thermal management for desert climates, and sand-proofing for key components.
All three models have secured UAE certification and will form the cornerstone of AITO’s Middle East rollout.
