Powertrain
Second generation (2025)
On 28 July 2025, HIMA released the official picture of the second generation AITO M7, which was officially released in 23 September.More than three years after the debut of the AITO M7, the manufacturer decided to replace the existing model with an entirely new, second generation model. The new exterior design is closely related to the slightly larger M8, gaining similarly chunkier and stockier body proportions with a distinctive truncated front fascia and high-set headlights connected by a light bar. The rear section, in turn, gains sleeker, narrow lamps created by a strip running the full width of the body, accented with chrome.
The interior features a luxurious loft-style layout, with the cockpit dominated by a centrally located 16.1-inch touchscreen for controlling the multimedia system. Two further screens are located in front of both the driver and front passenger. The high tunnel is equipped not only with a storage compartment but also a refrigerator. Additional screens are also located on the first-row backrests for rear passengers. It is available in 2-row 5-seater or 3-row 6-seater configurations.
The M7 is equipped with Huawei's ADS 4 ADAS system available in two tiers. The base specification sees the debut of Huawei's Limera in-cabin LiDAR sensor, which is mounted in a module underneath the windshield behind the rearview mirror rather than the traditional position atop the roof in a bump. Huawei claims the Limera sensor can detect objects as small as at nighttime and allows the automatic emergency braking system to function at up to. Listed advantages also include lower cost, improved aesthetics from its concealed positioning, and protection from environmental elements with the option of using the windshield wipers to clear debris. Huawei says that the Limera sensor will be used in ADAS systems which would otherwise be 'camera-only', which normally struggle in low-light conditions due to the lack of LiDAR. Higher specifications continue to use a traditional external roof-mounted 192-line LiDAR sensor, a rear-facing solid-state LiDAR, and 5 4D mmWave radars.

In January 2023, an AITO M7 owner in Hangzhou experienced a collision while driving, but the airbag did not deploy. The manufacturer claimed the vehicle conditions did not meet the criteria for airbag deployment. Later, both parties reached an agreement and the dealer replaced the vehicle with a new one for the owner. According to reports, while the owner was complaining to the manufacturer and before receiving a response, they received a phone call from their company leader saying "a leader approached us, asking to give face and let it go," suggesting their personal information had been leaked.On the afternoon of April 26, 2024, an AITO M7 caught fire after a rear-end collision on a highway in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. Due to the car doors being locked and unable to open, 3 people including the driver were trapped and burned to death. AITO stated that this vehicle was the Plus version without Huawei's intelligent driving assistance system, but still equipped with active safety features such as Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking ; the vehicle was traveling at 115 km/h when the accident occurred, the airbags deployed normally, and the power battery pack characteristics were all normal. This accident sparked online discussion due to Huawei's aggressive promotion of AEB and other features as "far ahead" in earlier marketing. The victims' families posted questioning the vehicle's safety.; 21st Century Business Herald published a commentary article questioning whether Huawei's "far ahead" marketing claims were exaggerated. Subsequently, the victims' families deleted their posts and requested not to be disturbed, which raised external suspicions.; the aforementioned commentary article was also allegedly removed under pressure. On May 6, 2024, AITO responded to four questions regarding the accident, stating that the accident vehicle's airbags had deployed, the battery did not spontaneously combust, the car doors were severely damaged and could not be opened, and the vehicle's speed exceeded the AEB operating range, causing the AEB to be ineffective. Additionally, the driver's seat had a seatbelt buckle signal, while the passenger seat and all three rear seats had none.
