Unveiling the AITO M5 Standard Edition

On July 2, the curtains were drawn back to reveal the AITO M5 Standard Edition in China. This new SUV has received extensive upgrades in its appearance, interior, and power configurations, setting it apart from the current M5 model.

AITO aims to redefine the driving experience with its cutting-edge features and technology.

These features not only enhance safety but also elevate the overall driving experience.
