Huawei was subjected to sanctions by the US administration in 2020 due to espionage accusations, and suffered a major blow in the industry. After these sanctions, the technology giant started to prove to the whole world that they did not need Google services by signing many innovations, including its own operating system.
Another place where the company wanted to prove itself was the automobile industry. Introducing its new electric car, the Huawei AITO M5, in the past few days, the company has openly signaled that it will overthrow even Tesla, the leader of the EV industry. Shortly after the launch, the number of orders for AITO M5 was announced. AITO M5, which can surpass other EV cars even with its range alone, received 300 orders in the first three days. “Thousands of orders” placed in the first five days were one of the first proofs that AITO M5 will shake the industry.
AITO M5 outperforms competitors like Model Y and xDrive30i with its range
To be honest, it’s hard not to fall under the spell of the Huawei AITO M5 after its launch. Designed with Seres, this vehicle aims to eliminate the range problem, which is one of the most needed features in the EV category.
The range of Huawei AITO M5 is exactly 1102 kilometers according to WLTP data. Considering that the Tesla Model Y, which is seen as the rivals of AITO M5, has a range of 640 km, the BMW xDrive30i 747 km and the Audi Q5L 793 km, it is clear that this new vehicle will overtake the others even with its range alone.
The biggest advantage of AITO M5 in terms of range is that it has a 56-liter fuel tank. Of course, the most important features of the vehicle are not limited to these. Working with the Harmony OS operating system, the tool has many features such as face recognition system, using the Huawei smart watch as a key, Huawei Petal Search and MEETime.
Looking at the pre-order numbers, it becomes clear that the AITO M5 will be a formidable competitor.
Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, announced that the distribution of the vehicle will begin in February 2022, at the launch of the AITO M5, with the statements “Despite great challenges, we have received strong support from consumers and partners around the world.”
After the launch, which created a great excitement, the pre-order figures also emerged. According to the statements made, Huawei AITO M5 has received 300 orders in the first three days after the launch, and a total of 6 thousand orders in the first 5 days.
