From factory floor to international auto show, the AITO Eurasian Journey convoy—featuring the AITO 9, AITO 7, and AITO 5—traversed the European-Asian continent, covering approximately 15,000 kilometers over 38 days across 12 countries before arriving in Paris for the 90th International Auto Show.
On October 14, under the theme “Intelligence Redefines Luxury,” AITO unveiled its flagship products and advanced technologies to a global audience. The AITO 9 stood out as a highlight of the Eurasian Journey convoy. Having completed its long journey from Chongqing to Paris, the vehicle demonstrated exceptional performance across rugged terrains and extreme environments.
Especially in regions with limited charging infrastructure, maintaining power supply posed one of the biggest challenges for new electric vehicles during the AITO Eurasian Journey. However, AITO’s extended-range technology overcame charging limitations, delivering a pure electric driving experience.
This innovation effectively addressed range anxiety, enabling extremely long-distance travel. It also significantly enhanced road safety through comprehensive features such as a robust body structure, a five-layer battery isolation system, and 20 active safety systems throughout the journey.
AITO’s intelligent driving assistance technology proved invaluable in reducing driver fatigue during long trips, handling 8,800 kilometers of the total 15,000-kilometer route. Meanwhile, the smart parking system delivered versatile performance, offering multiple parking options that simplified maneuvering in tight spaces.
With remote parking capability, drivers could select a spot and let the car complete the parking process automatically—a feature that captured local attention along the journey.
As a leading all-wheel-drive SUV, the AITO 9 delivered outstanding performance in harsh conditions during the journey, facing extreme challenges—from rough roads and high temperatures to difficult terrain, including mountainous regions and arid deserts. Backed by advanced technology and comprehensive safety features, the AITO 9 underwent rigorous and thorough testing.
The AITO 7, a large-sized all-wheel-drive model, adapted seamlessly to any family travel scenario. It received widespread praise during the Eurasian Journey for combining spaciousness and comfort, featuring zero-gravity seats and massage functions in both front and rear seats to reduce travel fatigue. Constructed using high-temperature coated steel, it includes eight airbags and a five-layer thermally insulated battery for safety under all conditions.
The AITO 5 is also an all-wheel-drive SUV, but mid-sized, blending sporty performance with elegant design. Built on a full aluminum alloy frame with a dual-axis front suspension and multi-link rear system, it ensures exceptional handling while maintaining a lightweight structure.
It delivers impressive performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds. Throughout the journey across Eastern Europe, the team experienced thrilling moments behind the wheel. In terms of smart features, it comes equipped with a driver-assistance system including automated parking, remote parking assist, and reverse guidance functions, enhancing convenience and safety for drivers.
The remarkable performance across production lines stems from the continuously evolving, multi-purpose AITO MF platform, which offers four core advantages: intelligent safety, diverse powertrain options, adaptable cabin space, and cutting-edge smart technology.
The platform supports multiple power options, including ultra-long-range electric power, fully electric batteries, and ultra-hybrid batteries. As the only platform in the industry compatible with all three new energy systems, it delivers a fun, easy, and safe driving experience.
Thanks to the MF platform, ultra-long-range electric technology achieves a thermal efficiency of 45%. This technology adapts to all driving scenarios, providing electric power for city driving and convenient refueling for intercity trips. It delivers performance comparable to a traditional 3.0-liter turbocharged internal combustion engine while consuming only half the fuel.
It delivers a driving experience akin to a fully electric vehicle—quiet cabin, smooth acceleration, and highly responsive control. Additionally, it can serve as an external power source during outdoor camping. The system also dynamically adjusts energy generation based on user driving habits, minimizing noise and vibrations while improving fuel efficiency, ensuring a comfortable and cost-effective journey.
AITO’s high vehicle quality is rooted in advanced smart manufacturing. The company developed its own sophisticated digital platform, leveraging technology to connect production equipment with data.
With over 3,000 robots and full automation of key processes, the factory achieves industry-leading production efficiency, supporting flexible, transparent, automated, and intelligent manufacturing operations. As the first to adopt a 10,000-ton die-casting unit, AITO ensures efficient, lightweight, and safe production, enhancing both product quality and productivity.
As a leading Chinese brand in smart electric vehicles, AITO is pioneering the future of smart electric mobility, redefining luxury by merging traditional elegance with technological sophistication to deliver innovative, forward-thinking transportation experiences for consumers worldwide.
