The Internet was buzzing with excitement as spy shots of Chery and Huawei’s highly anticipated AITO EH3 electric sedan surfaced. Now, even more detailed images have emerged, showcasing the inclusion of a LiDAR sensor on the roof, intricate design elements, and a stunning large floating screen on the dashboard.
Media reports have disclosed that this electric vehicle (EV) boasts an impressive 700-km range on a single charge, thanks to the collaboration of the cutting-edge CATL battery and Chery’s E0X platform.
Huawei is rapidly expanding its presence in the Chinese automobile market, having recently introduced AITO in partnership with Dongfeng Motor’s subsidiary, Seres. Additionally, Huawei is collaborating with Changan and CATL on Avatr EVs, as well as supplying chips, OS, sensors, and motors to ArcFox (BAIC).
Huawei’s flagship stores proudly showcase AITO, Avatr, and ArcFox EVs, demonstrating the company’s commitment to gaining a competitive edge in the automotive industry through numerous collaborations.
The tech giant’s latest venture involves partnering with JAC and Chery to develop AITO’s model line, resulting in a joint effort where Huawei, JAC, and Chery will all contribute to the AITO EV lineup.
Named the EH3, Huawei-Chery’s AITO car reveals striking design elements in the latest spy shots, including thin triangular headlights, a sleekly slanted bonnet line, and a distinctive taillight unit. The overall exterior appearance bears a resemblance to Xiaomi’s upcoming EV.
With its large five-spoke wheels and aerodynamic shape, the EH3 is both stylish and functional. Additionally, the roof-mounted LiDAR sensor enhances its advanced features, while the front fenders house Huawei ADS sensors.
Inside the AITO EH3, occupants will enjoy a spacious environment adorned with a sizable floating screen, slim instrument panel, and compact steering wheel. The steering column accommodates the gear shifter, while the central console boasts two wireless charging stations, two cup holders, and ample storage space. For enhanced safety, the driver-side front pillar features a Face ID sensor.
Underpinning the AITO EH3 is Chery’s E0X platform, while CATL supplies a Qilin ternary (NMC) battery with an impressive claimed range of 700 kilometers. The EV also supports 800V charging, enabling a remarkable 150 kilometers of range to be achieved in just five minutes of charging.
With a notable 23 speakers, Huawei autonomous driving technology, 8295 Qualcomm CPUs, and a powerful battery, the exact details of the powertrain remain undisclosed. However, reports suggest that the EH3 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in an astonishing 3 seconds.
The eagerly awaited AITO EH3 is set to launch next year, and pre-production models will be showcased at H2 2023 auto shows. The full range of models and pricing for the EH3 will be revealed during the formal launch. This EV is undoubtedly shaping up to be a formidable contender in the market, challenging even the likes of the Tesla Model S.
