Huawei’s Aito M7, featuring industry-first in-cabin LiDAR, opens pre-orders September 5

HIMA today announced that the 2026 Aito M7 is set to open for pre-orders on September 5, 2025, with its official market launch scheduled for September 23, 2025. The updated SUV promises a refresh to its exterior and interior, alongside the integration of Huawei‘s ADS 4 intelligent driving assistance system, notably featuring the industry’s first in-cabin laser vision solution, Limera.

The new Aito M7’s front fascia adopts a sleek, closed-off design, complemented by Aito’s signature headlight clusters. Along the sides, there are semi-hidden door handles that contribute to reduced wind resistance. The vehicle’s dimensions are 5080mm in length, 1999mm in width, and 1780mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3030mm.

Inside, a 16.1-inch central control screen dominates the dashboard. The driver’s seat features a “zero-gravity” design. Rear passengers will benefit from an entertainment screen with multiple control options, and the vehicle also includes a smart in-car hot/cold storage box.

Under the hood, the new Aito M7 offers both extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and pure electric vehicle (BEV) powertrains. The EREV variant comes with two battery options, 37kWh and 53kWh, providing a maximum combined range of over 1600 km. The BEV model is equipped with a 100kWh battery, delivering a CLTC pure electric range of up to 700+ km.

An innovation in the new Aito M7 is the introduction of Huawei’s Limera in-cabin laser vision solution. This system integrates LiDAR and a camera discreetly behind the rearview mirror, inside the front windshield, addressing the aesthetic concerns often associated with roof-mounted LiDAR units. Huawei states a key benefit of this placement is “lifetime 0 cleaning,” as the sensor is protected from environmental elements like dust, rain, and insects, which can impair the performance of external intelligent driving and AEB systems.
