Huawei-linked AITO’s new Wenjie (M9) series combines a strengthened Xuanwu Body Architecture 2.0 with luxury, tech-forward positioning, and strong market demand. The 13-cross/11-longitudinal chassis uses 91% aluminum alloy and ultra-high-strength steel, wider multi-stage energy-absorbing beams, and 2200MPa+ hot-formed side rails to markedly boost crash performance. Inside, up to 13 airbags and an AI adaptive protection system monitor occupant vitals and posture to tailor restraints. Early interest is robust—over 50,000 pre-orders—with more than 40% opting for the premium Ultimate extended-wheelbase trim, underscoring appetite for safety-rich, upscale EV/extended-range models in Huawei’s automotive push.

Huawei-linked automaker HarmonyOS Zhixing announced that the AITO (Wenjie) M9 series will use the new Xuanwu body architecture 2.0, featuring a 13-cross, 11-longitudinal structural layout and 91% use of aluminum alloy and high-strength steel. Crash structures are optimized with wider 7-series aluminum front/rear beams and multi-stage energy absorption, raising beam width by 5.2%, height by 36%, and bending strength by 32.1%. Side protection uses 2200MPa+ TRB hot-formed steel in eight locations, boosting door strength 52.5% and roof crush 19%. The M9 offers up to 13 airbags and an AI adaptive protection system that adjusts restraint strategies by sensing occupant vitals and posture. The launch event was moved to May 27 and pre-orders have already exceeded 50,000 units.
The new-generation Wenjie M9 series from HarmonyOS-backed brand Hongmeng Zhixing has exceeded 50,000 reservations, Huawei executive Yu Chengdong said on May 16. Yu revealed that over 40% of buyers chose the higher-end Ultimate extended-wheelbase (领世加长) version, far above expectations. Huawei showcased the M9’s upscale interior and exclusive luxury features—two-tone trim, special badging, rotating seats, and a smart starroof—and outlined powertrain and tech specs, including twin-chamber dual-valve, rear-wheel steering, six LiDARs, ADS 5 autonomy, an 800V high-voltage platform, and multiple range configurations. Pre-sale prices start at ¥499,800 for the standard M9 and ¥669,800 for the Ultimate. This signals strong demand for premium electric/extended-range models in Huawei’s auto push.
