The AITO 9 SUV shined during the tour, navigating difficult terrains like mountains and deserts, and withstanding extreme temperatures, all while providing a seamless driving experience. This was thanks to its advanced features, including intelligent headlights with a million pixels, and a fuel-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 3.65 kWh/liter, giving it a WLTP range exceeding 1,200 km. Its ultra-strong body, made of submarine-grade hot-formed steel, ensures safety, boasting a strength of over 2,000 MPa, which protects passengers even in high-risk accidents, extreme road conditions, intense temperatures, and hard-to-master terrains, from high-altitude mountains to arid deserts.
The vehicle body is constructed with submarine-grade hot-stamped steel in an 8-by-5 matrix body structure, offering strength exceeding 2,000 MPa. This robust design resists deformation and provides comprehensive protection against high-risk accidents. AITO 9’s Range-extender technology provides a WLTP comprehensive range exceeding 1,200 km, attributed to its industry-leading fuel-to-electric conversion efficiency. The model’s million-pixel intelligent headlights accurately detect oncoming drivers and selectively darken pixels to prevent high-beam blinding. AITO 9 achieved over 140,000 cumulative orders and 100,000-unit deliveries within nine months of its launch, ranking third in sales.
