The lithium-ion battery uses LFP technology, which has different characteristics from typical NCA and NMC batteries.
The vehicle's range, according to the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) standard, is 602 km (374 miles).
The energy consumption is 13.1 kWh/100 km based on the CLTC standard test.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 90 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 40 minutes at an average power of 82 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 5–67%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 76 kW over a session lasting about 39 minutes and 55 seconds.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 10 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 6 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.
Drivetrain
The AITO M5 RWD has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle.
Suspension
The AITO M5 RWD features a double wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, both with electronically controlled dampers and air springs.
The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically.
The minimum ground clearance is 140 mm, and the maximum is 220 mm.
For easier loading, you can lower the air suspension from the rear.
Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the AITO M5 RWD. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
In addition, rear-wheel steering is standard, reducing the turning circle at low speeds.
Drive Modes
The AITO M5 RWD lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 4 modes:
- Eco: Balanced steering, low ride height, balanced suspension damping, and efficiency-oriented throttle response.

- Sport: Dynamic steering, low ride height, and dynamic throttle and suspension damping.
- Custom: Custom ride height, steering, suspension damping, and throttle.
Brakes
The AITO M5 RWD is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between two levels.
