The overseas version of the AITO M9 SUV has been revealed with fully localized infotainment, HUAWEI ADS, and satellite-enabled connectivity, as SERES prepares for gradual global expansion.
The infotainment interface of the overseas version of the AITO M9 has been spotted, showing that the system has completed full localization for international markets, including map services, HUAWEI ADS advanced driving features, and a wide range of overseas apps.
SERES, the automaker behind AITO, was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on November 5. In an interview, SERES President Zhang Zhengping stated that the company is pushing for global expansion and is not concerned about Huawei collaborating with other car manufacturers. According to Zhang, SERES will begin with neighboring countries and roll out markets one by one to ensure that users everywhere receive the same features and services as in China.
At Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Autumn Launch Event on September 23, Huawei Executive Director and Head of Consumer BG Yu Chengdong announced that the AITO M9 will support remote vehicle control via smartphone apps, digital car keys, Super Desktop, and Apple CarPlay connectivity—allowing iPhones to pair seamlessly with the vehicle.
The 2025 AITO M9 flagship SUV, part of the Harmony Intelligent Mobility lineup, was officially launched in March. Positioned as an “all-scenario intelligent flagship SUV,” the model comes in a five-seat and a six-seat configuration, priced between USD 66,400 and USD 80,500.
The vehicle also features Huawei’s Xinghe (Galaxy) Communication system, which supports satellite calling. This system offers strong terrestrial connectivity and satellite communication that can be shared across devices such as phones and tablets. Even when the driver is up to 30 meters away from the vehicle, calls can still be placed via the car’s satellite link. It supports intelligent network selection, dual-network standby, three-network aggregation, and enhanced performance in weak-signal environments. For instance, navigation can preload data when the network is poor. In areas with no signal at all, the car can automatically place a satellite call for emergency assistance—essentially “calling for help on its own” in case of an accident.
